Adjustments
Water Flow Rate Adjustment
Adjust water flow rate to correct level in Whipping Chamber. The Dispense
Valves are factory adjusted for a maximum Flow Rate of 1 to 1.3 oz./sec (30-38
ml/sec).[Approximate settings: 1.3 oz./sec (38 ml/sec) for COFFEE and
CAPPUCCINO] Exceeding this Flow Rate will cause the Mixing Chamber to overflow.
Note: To access the Water Dispense Valves, open door and remove Hoppers.
TO ADJUST WATER FLOW RATE:
- Open door and remove hoppers. Locate Dispense Valve behind the hoppers, mounted on tank.
- Locate adjustment screw on Dispense Valve.
- Using Allen Key or flat screwdriver rotate, 1/4 turn at a time, CLOCKWISE to decrease water flow, or COUNTERCLOCKWISE to increase water flow.
- Check water flow output, after each 1/4 turn.
Temperature Adjustment (Tank Control Board Type)
- Locate the Tank Control Board.
- Press button under right side of display to increase temperature.
- Press button under left side of display to decrease temperature.
- Pressing both buttons simultaneously will reset to default 190°F (88°C).
Temperature Adjustment (Thermostat Type)
-
Locate Thermostat: Remove the right side panel. Thermostat is mounted on side of tank. The GB beverage dispensers are factory set to deliver hot brewing water at 190°F (88°C) with the thermostat knob turned to full ON position. If adjustments should be necessary to increase or decrease the water TEMPERATURE, proceed as follows:
Note: Set the Rinse Switch to ON. This will disengage the Hopper Motors when dispensing water for Temperature measurements. -
To INCREASE the water temperature – With the Thermostat Knob to its maximum clockwise position, remove the knob and locate the slotted adjustment screw inside the hollow thermostat shaft. Using a narrow-bladed screwdriver, engage slotted adjustment screw and turn it ¼ turn slowly counter-clockwise. Allow a few minutes for the temperature to reach set level. The Heater Light will go ON, indicating the heating element is activated, wait for it to go OFF, indicating that the water has reached new set temperature. Take a temperature reading and repeat if necessary.
-
To DECREASE the water temperature – simply turn the Thermostat Knob one notch counter-clockwise to the next lower dial setting.

Component Tests
Dual Probe Test If lack of water persists, check the probe as follows:
- Turn on the power and water supply.
- Check inside the tank to make sure the water is below the Probe.
- Pull the BLUE wire and terminal OFF the Probe rod. If water still does not flow after the wire is disconnected from the Probe, the problem may be in the Tank Control Board.
- If water starts flowing into the tank, the Probe may be grounded, due to excessive liming. Check with Ohm meter. Clean probe
Water Inlet Valve Test
- Turn power OFF. If the water level rises inside a partially filled tank, the Water Inlet Valve is leaking.
- Disconnect wires from the Water Inlet Valve coil and connect a 2 wire line cord to the terminals. Plug it into a 115V outlet. If water flows in and stops when you pull it out, the Valve is working correctly. Repeat this test a few times. The problem may be in the Probe or Water Level Control Board.
- If the water does not flow in when the cord is plugged into an electrical outlet, the Solenoid coil may be damaged, opened or the valve may have an obstruction preventing the water from flowing in. Clean or replace it.
Water Level Controller Test
(For models manufactured 2015 and prior)
Check the Controller as follows:
- Make sure there is power input to the Controller at the terminals AC1 & AC2 Your voltmeter should read 115 Volts. It should read the same at terminals AC1 & FILL when the water level is low. This is the output power to actuate the coil of the Solenoid Valve to open it. The lack of voltage at terminals AC1 & L-LEVEL or H-LEVEL indicates that the Controller is not working properly.
- Make sure all wire connections are tight, including ground.
- If after this, the Controller is still failing to open the Water Inlet Valve, replace it.
