Silko AL Error Code

What does Silko AL mean?

AL is the minimum temperature HACCP alarm on Silko refrigerated units. The controller records it when the cabinet temperature falls below the configured low-temperature threshold. As a HACCP entry it stores the minimum chamber temperature reached during this type of alarm. The instrument keeps up to three HACCP alarms and shows the critical value, alarm duration, and alarm type when the record is reviewed.

Symptoms

• "AL" is stored as a HACCP alarm with the HACCP LED indicating a saved alarm.
• The recorded critical value is the minimum chamber temperature reached.
• Cabinet contents may be colder than intended, with possible product freezing.
• The alarm duration is logged (from 1 minute up to 99 hr 59 min).

Common causes

• Set point configured too low for the stored product.
• Faulty or miscalibrated chamber sensor reporting a low temperature.
• Controller running in a protective fixed cycle that overcools.
• Thermostatic or control fault leaving the compressor running too long.

Diagnostic steps

1. Review the HACCP record

   Press SET to read the stored AL alarm details, including the minimum temperature reached and the alarm duration.

2. Check the set point

   Verify the working set point is appropriate for the product being stored and has not been set too low.

3. Verify the chamber sensor

   Confirm the chamber sensor reads correctly, since a faulty probe can drive the temperature below the low threshold.

4. Inspect for product freezing

   Check stored items near the airflow path for unwanted freezing that signals overcooling.

5. Assess product safety

   Use the recorded critical value to decide whether any product was affected before resuming normal use.

When to call a professional

Adjusting the set point and inspecting product are operator tasks. If AL persists with an appropriate set point, the cause may be a faulty sensor or control fault, which the manual indicates needs an authorised technical support centre to diagnose and correct. Disconnect the appliance from power before any internal work.
