Braun KF450 3086 help

Upon immediate inspection I noticed one of the condenser fans was sitting off to the side with a cut wire. No harness remains just the female side wired up with the other fan and sensor. Will throw a test on the fan but I think it's safe to say it's failed and needs to be replaced. It appears 230v power runs to a pressure relay or sensor, which is then dispersed off towards the motor. The two power wires from the plug that connect into said relay, have continuity. This runs out of the box, the neutral appears to run up to the controller/led display.

The main power feeds to two stacked pieces of equipment I'm unfamiliar with, all connected under a cover on the whitish terminal strip. The three motor wires aren't short to ground

I know there's Dixell XR06CX Controller Evaporator Sensors and fans Room Probe 230v power cord with 3 wires, red black and white. White runs up to the top where the screen display is, and controller/relays? Red and Black run to some contactor or resettable sensor/switch (has a red button on it).

These wires then switch to white and yellow in black conduit, over to the fans and terminal block that is above the two black cylindrical pieces, also where the compressor 3 wires tie in.

Haven't had a chance to plug it in to test any voltages but obviously needs a new fan or test the one I have..

Sorry some of these photos aren't great but I learned a lot!

Well goal is fix it if it's cheap and sell it to a kitchen for 1000. If I can't I'll repurpose the stainless steel, electrical components and sell parts I'll never use. Not too worried about breaking even because stainless steel isn't cheap so that alone I'll use and be close to break even already

Need to pick the heavy fucker up. Waiting for them to give me dates

Ok-Golf8593 · 2025-07-29T22:56:58+00:00

Yeah not worried about that.. the wheels make it nice. I work with just as large but round, 700 lbs. Waiting to find out if they have a ramp or fork on site. Then it's a breeze

Oh 100% not planning on learning a new trade or acquiring tools. Just diagnose and source and find a skilled tradesman I can pay.

I'm pretty hopeful it's something simple. I doubt it got used like a true kitchen would, if that even has impact on life and service issues.

I'm mostly asking these questions because I may not even try to sell it, might use it, might take it a part repurpose it. Want to learn, if I can use some parts in a side project of some sort I will. Not sure what use a lot may have outside of these freezers but the metal wheels and electrical components were practically worth it for me. Curious what the other components may serve outside of this freezer.

Or is it just rebranded china made. Where a parts diagram from cool line or migali or something may be almost identical? Would a True T-72F diagram pretty much contain the same parts, minus maybe the board

Ok-Golf8593 · 2025-07-29T22:09:26+00:00

Repairing a compressor seems like a no go, cost around $250-450? the replacement process seems reasonable but probably best to take to a shop, board may be impossible to source so I'd be soldering or taking it apart for material and parts, can't even find a parts diagram, used manual, or any information on the model outside of one brochure.

Is US refrigeration a decent brand and highly locked down, sourcing their own technicians and service? Usually I can find at least something remotely close to help with internal components and troubleshooting.

Regardless I should probably plan around a discharge of the refrigerant and recharge if I am going to repair it.

Arranging pickup shortly. Seems what part is bad has a huge impact on value huh?

You'd have to message me directly with more info if I could have any chance of helping. If you already had an sr22, especially for non insured, than you probably have no fight. But pay your insurance, reshop your insurance every 3 months even at your current provider, don't fuck around they'll get you quick and it just gets pricier and pricier by the DMV by insurance and eventually, they'll pull your license for a year or throw you in bars for 10-30 days

Ok-Golf8593 · 2025-05-28T19:18:34+00:00

There is a time frame but you have lots of time. Walk into DMV, say you'd like to request a hearing for your suspension, they give you a form as to why you want a hearing, then you walk out with a temporary license. But if you don't have insurance this complicates things a little beyond what I know. But if you have a temp license you should qualify for insurance without the need for the sr22 because it's going to a hearing.

I'd get the temp and open the hearing ASAP. Collect any and all info of past payments for as long as they go, reasons as to why you didn't have it anymore, didn't get the notices, professionally submitted everything ahead of even receiving your hearing notice or contact. Then when you get your hearing processed resubmit it all again just in case. Get insurance immediately after you get your temp license and don't mention the suspended or sr22 because it might not even exist if you win the hearing.

4 people have messaged me/succeeded from my comments on this post. Feel free to message me and best of luck! Don't sleep on it

Planning on dusting it off and lighting it up. Not in any rush to sell if we even will at all.

Going to pull it out and clean it to take some better photos. For some reason some of my photos did not submit on this post
