Re: Freezer problem ‘frigoboat’
Thanks Bill, I think your right with the Danfoss compressor controller and the alarm code could be L1 or something similar, I only saw the code for a moment then it switched off and would not switch on again. I’ve checked the wiring as far as I can see with no issues sighted. I’ve swapped the IR33 thermostat from the fridge and although it illuminates it does not switch the freezer on.

I will check something’s tomorrow from your information, but I have a good local mechanic that will visit Monday and figures it’s a sensor issue if it’s the L1 code which he’s familiar with. Thank you as always for your attention and helpful information, I’ll let you know how I go Regards Paul

Re: Air conditioner seawater pump won’t start
It is likely the starting capacitor inside the wiring junction box on the top of the Calpeda BCM20/E pump. Note the photo shows an aluminum case capacitor. Absolutely use an aluminum case 10uf capacitor. Calpeda distributes this pump with either a plastic or aluminum capacitor. The plastic will not stand the heat. If it is not the capacitor, it may be the fuse. Amel used an automotive glass-type fuse in SM and possibly all 54s. It is located inside the CLIMMA Control box in the engine room. I hope this helps.

Re: Freezer problem ‘frigoboat’
Paul, Frigoboat refrigeration with Danfoss Compressor controllers have an error code of 1 Flash from a LED across the "D" terminal and a "+" terminal on the
Danfoss Compressor controller. This is a low voltage alarm, and is a highly reliable indication of a battery bank, wiring or connection issue. This alarm does not lie. If you have this alarm, you probably have a wiring or connection issue somewhere. I am sure that your Frigoboat has a Danfoss controller. The part you are describing is, I believe, the Carel IR33 Electronic Thermostat. I checked the manual on this thermostat and see no error code 1. I believe that the Carel IR33 Electronic Thermostat could be used with any Frigoboat system. Maybe it is possible that this Carel IR33 Electronic Thermostat is relaying the Danfoss error code. I don't know, but if it is capable and is doing so, the solution is in the first paragraph. I have attached the Carel IR33 Electronic Thermostat manual for your convenience. Please let me know what you find. Best, CW Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX 77550 +1(832) 380-4970

Re: Air conditioner seawater pump won’t start
Sounds like a starting capacitor is bad.

Re: Air conditioner seawater pump won’t start
Hi Dean,

I turn on the AC and nip into the engine room with a screwdriver. It is trying to turn but can not quite make it without my help. No kickback really. I had that pump apart and reckoned it was on it’s last legs, but that was two years ago and it is still going. I should buy a spare, but it is not really essential for the running of the boat and we are not in marinas much. Having said that in Greece this summer, when connected to shore power a bit of AC for a siesta is quite nice! In Scotland you will be more in need of heating! How was the condensation this summer? On my last boat we spent a summer on the west coast and loved it, but the portholes and hatches were covered each morning with heavy condensation. Nick Amelia AML 54-019

Re: Air conditioner seawater pump won’t start
Hi Nick,
Ah the old screwdriver trick. That’s usually my first port of call too! Do you try to turn it when it’s powered up? Is there a kickback when it spins up? I’ve always powered it down first, then give it a few spins with screwdriver and then it seems to go. The AC pump on my last boat was exactly the same each spring. Cheers Dean SY Stella A54-154

Re: Air conditioner seawater pump won’t start
Hi All,
The thing that was niggling me was the fact that there was no voltage across the Active-Neutral terminals of the pump when I checked. Monitoring the terminal voltage I have checked whether the pump is activated immediately the system is powered on, and I found that it is not! No voltage at the terminals. This could point to a relay problem. However, before looking at the relays, I thought I would do another test as follows: Ambient temp here is 15degC (yes it is summer!). I turned on the AC in the saloon, and set the desired temp to 17.9. (The lowest possible setting). The AC produces some slightly warm air, but the seawater pump does not start. I then used a hot air gun to slowly raise the temp of the AC panel in the galley. When the temp reading on the panel reached 18.9 degC THEN the seawater pump started. Conclusion: The seawater pump does not start until the ambient temp (as detected at the panel) rises above the set-point (desired temp set by user). (I guess this corresponds to the compressor starting up). Most folks might think that the pump operation is always immediate. In hot weather, it does, but in fact it depends on ambient temperature vs set-point. Thanks for the pointers Olivier, Ruedi and Jose. Cheers Dean SY Stella A54-154

Re: Windlass on Santorin from 1995
Bernd,
This is a Lofrans Tigres windlass. Parts are readily available worldwide.
https://www.lofrans.com/spare-parts
The buttons are an Amel add-on and are available from Amel or from Vetus.
There is an excellent tutorial from Nikimat on this forum that shows how to service the windlass.
With best regards,

My Lithium LiFePO4 Project to convert SM and 54s
All, I am mostly finished with recommended assortments/bundles including the required peripheral devices. I have selected a Preferred Vendor for the US & Canada and another for the UK and Europe. I am still working on a Caribbean supplier in Martinique and possibly a second US supplier. I will these other suppliers completed in about a month. I do not want to post in this group the offers made by the above Preferred Vendors. I am happy to share everything with any Amel Yacht Owner Group member who may want it.

Windlass on Santorin from 1995
I need to service my windlass and especially the up/down switches which have gone with the sun n salt. Unfortunately I have no idea what’s the name/model of mine. It looks very similar to what I have seen on google on Nikimat. Anyone in the know... which one it is and where to get the spares in Europe or US? Thanks, -- Bernd SN 119 / Cascais, Portugal

Re: Air conditioner seawater pump won’t start
Hi Dean Understand, - try to turn multiple time with screwdriver, - back and forward. I had to do it after the winter season for 1-2 minutes. This summer I used my AC every few weeks and no problem with the pump after that. Regards, Ruedi
