Overview
This guide will walk you through step by step process to remove and replace the thermostat in the Bevi Standup 1.5.
Required Tools and Materials
- 720-0157 - Thermostat
- #2 Phillips screwdriver
- #3 Phillips screwdriver
- Small bucket
Removal Procedure
Task 1: Depressurize the water system.
- Power off the Bevi.
- Turn off power to the unit by flipping the switch on the back near where the power cord connects.
- Open the door.
- Close the buffer tank.
- The buffer tank valve is located behind the CO2 tank.
Turn the valve 1/4-turn clockwise to close (pointed forwards/perpendicular to the flow of water).
- The buffer tank valve is located behind the CO2 tank.
- Power off Chiller.
- The power switch is located on the right side, towards the rear of the chiller.
- Using Diagnostic Lines, depressurize the Still and Sparkling outputs.
- Remove the Still and Sparkling Diagnostic lines from the grommets at the base of the door.
- Place both lines into a bucket.
- Open the Still Diagnostic Valve until completely depressurized, then close the valve.
- Open the Sparkling Diagnostic Valve until only CO2 is coming from the line, then close valve.
- Turn off the CO2 tank.
- Reopen the Sparkling Diagnostic Valve again until all CO2 pressure is released.
- Once all CO2 pressure is released, close the valve.
Task 2: Remove the chiller.
- Remove the bracket at the base of the chiller
- Using a #3 Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws securing the bracket.
- Note: If the screws are corroded and you are unable to remove, contact Bevi Support at 866-704-BEVI before proceeding to next steps.
- Disconnect all inputs and output tubes from the chiller.
- Remove red locking clips from each fitting.
- Disconnect Water In, Ice Bank Fill, CO2 In, Sparkling Out, and Still Out tubes from the front of the Chiller.
- It is much easier to disconnect the tubing from the 90° elbow push-to-connect fittings. Leave the elbow fittings connected to the chiller.
- Carefully slide the chiller out of the Bevi and place on the ground.
- Take care to keep the chiller as flat and level as possible.
- Note: It is possible that some water may spill out of the ice bank while removing the chiller.
Task 3: Remove the sheet metal cover.
- Using #2 phillips screwdriver, remove the 10 screws securing the cover to the chiller.
- There are 6 screws on the front, and 4 on the back.
- Lift the cover off of the chiller.
- You may need to pull the side panels out slightly to separate the cover from the Chiller.
Task 4: Remove the Thermostat.
- Locate the thermostat on the backside of the front panel of the chiller.
- Disconnect the 3 wires from the thermostat.
- TIP: It can be helpful to take a photo of the wiring connections prior to disconnection to reference for reinstallation.
- Remove the two screws securing the Thermostat to the front panel.
- Remove the two screws securing the thermostat bracket to the ice bank.
- Carefully pull the bracket up and out of the ice bank.
- Remove the thermostat tube from the rubber grommet on the bracket.
- Cut the zip tie and remove the thermostat from the bracket.
Task 5: Install the new Agitator.
- The new thermostat will come coiled up in the box.
- Carefully uncoil the thermostat tube.
- CAUTION: Take care not to kink the tube, as this can damage the thermostat.
- Install the new thermostat onto the bracket.
- Route the tube through the grommet, and install a new zip tie to secure the probe to the bracket.
- Reinstall the bracket into the ice bank.
- Note: The bracket and thermostat are a snug fit, carefully work it into place down in the ice bank.
- Rout the thermostat tube back the same way the old one came out.
- Mount the thermostat to the front panel and reinstall the two screws.
- Reconnect the three wires to the thermostat.
- See image below for wiring connections.
- Set the thermostat to 5:
- On the front of the chiller, adjust the thermostat set point to 5.
- Turn the dial counterclockwise to “OFF”, then turn it back clockwise to 5.
- On the front of the chiller, adjust the thermostat set point to 5.
Task 6: Reinstall the Chiller.
- Place the cover back onto the chiller.
- Reinstall all 10 screws to secure the cover to the chiller.
- Lift the Chiller and slide into the base of the Bevi.
- The chiller feet need to slide into the slots of the rear bracket for proper placement.
- Reinstall chiller bracket.
- Reconnect all tubing to the front of the chiller.
- Ensure tubes are fully seated into push-to-connect fittings.
- Reinstall red locking clips.
Task 7: Top off the Ice Bank
- Power on the Bevi machine.
- Turn on then supply water.
- Top off the Ice Bank.
- During the removal and reinstallation process, it is likely that some water will spill from the ice bank.
- From the Service Panel, touch “Advanced” in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Touch “Open Inlet” in the lower left of the Advanced menu.
- You should hear the inlet solenoid click open.
- With the open end of the overflow tube draining straight down into a collection container, open the ice bank fill valve to begin topping off the ice bank.
- Open the ice bank fill valve until water begins to flow from the overflow tube.
- As soon as water is flowing from the tube, close the ice bank fill valve.
- Allow any excess water to drain from the tube, and resecure the open end of the tube into the clips.
- Open Buffer Tank.
- Turn the Buffer Tank valve counter clockwise so it is pointed upwards to open.
- Turn on the CO2 tank.
- Plug in Power Cable and power on the Chiller.
Task 8: Test Functionality
- Exit the Service Panel to the main dispense screen.
- Pour both still and sparkling water to verify Bevi is dispensing properly.
- Check for any leaks.
- If any leaks are found, inspect all connections and ensure tubing is fully seated.
- Launch Incubation.
- After the thermostat is replaced, it is important to launch Incubation Mode to allow the chiller to cool down to proper temperature.
- Go back to the Service Panel “Advanced” menu.
- Touch “Start Incubation”
- Close and lock the door.
