Known Cornelius beverage dispenser & soda fountain weak points

- Dispensing valve clogging and inconsistent brix/syrup ratio
- Beater-motor, barrel and refrigeration faults on FCB frozen units
- Ice dispenser agitator and chute jams
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Worth checking yourself first: try a different outlet if one's available, to rule out a dead circuit rather than the unit itself. Once you've ruled that out, if power and the door are both fine, the fault is in the control board or start circuit, and testing that safely means working inside a live electrical panel.
