Ice machine in an old Coca Cola fountain/ ice machine. I need a new compressor. The current one is # L 25-!-A

It sounds like you have an ice machine head on a fountain unit.
If so there should be a circuit board where you can set the agitator setting to stir the ice periodically. it may not be set right or malfunctioning. Check to see if the bin or fountain manufacturer has a model and serial number and verify if you have a stir setting. .

The valve that you turn to clean the area in between the plates has a small micro switch. This prevents the compressor from running in cleaning cycle. If the compressor is running, there is another issue.

Not real clear of your question but most machines have the control box in the compressor compartment. It has a switch that shows: Wash, Off, Ice. Your incoming electrical is on the rear of the machine. Hope this helps ya.

that could be one solution. I would look at how long the freeze cycle is lasting. The machine could be cycling off and on via bin stat. Average cycles from start of freeze cycle to start of freeze cycle is usually around 25 minutes or so. If it is taking longer than that, you may have to dig deeper. let me know. Don't overlook a leaking water valve.

CORNELIUS AC-500-SS-MH COMPRESSOR. Cornelius tech dept informed me that the compressor for this model is obselete and they did not have a replacement to recomend. Also the tehnical dept could not even find any listings for this model. It is a old version of icemaker that uses R22. The compressor as best I can find is a 3/4 hp, 6250 btu unit that supports a 20 degree evaporator temperature. I have done a lot of web searching and cannot find a suitable replacement in any brand.

usually from not enough refrigerant in the system. compressor overworking. excessive heat could also be from the compressor being bad such as bad valves. should be checked out by a service tech as this could involve removing freon to make repairs.

Is your circulating fan working?
Sometimes they stick and need a shot of WD 40 and then work
it back and forth a little until it wants to take off again. Keep me informed
and PLEASE give a Thumbs Up for the effort. The Raz Shack

It may just need a cleaning. Use approved cleaner for this modle and sanitize the bin after the cleaning. If it is making some ice, most likely there is not an issue with the charge.

3 beeps means the machine has ran two 1 hour cycles back to back to make ice an average timeframe for ice making is 25-30 min. Could be several issues, float switch dirty, water valve leaking by, dirty spray tubes, dirty evap., then go to refrigeration Expansion valve, compressor, charge, Hot gas valve leaking by,,,,,

Their web site has all your answers. Their tech support line is worth the wait. 1-800-233-1940.

I usually don't exceed 25 feet. If it is a straight up install, that is, the remote is on a roof, you may have to install traps to ensure proper oil return to the compressor, Otherwise, it will lockup on ya.
