HiCan you please email a photo to our customer service team. I am sure they can offer a fix but I am not 100% sure of the fix myself.
I’ve already ordered a replacement temp control sticker but thanks for the reply

I have a Benchy that has a drip from the left hand side about 1/2 way down that side
Has this happened with other benchy’s in the past?
Any idea as to where this leak could be originating from and how to fix it?
Ok thanks for the reply. I’ll look forward to checking out the insulated hose packs when availableIt's most likely condensation. Really the only way to stop these condensation drips is by continuing to improve the insulation. It seems to be more of an issue in warmer areas with higher humidity.
We are in the process of putting together insulated hose packs for the glycol hoses and also this kit will be available with dry break quick disconnect fittings so this will also help the situation when they are finished but in the meantime just do what you can do insulate the hoses and anywhere you are getting condensation.

I also have another problem
I also have a G20 glycol chiller that has served me well however one side (the one that I’ve used the most) seems to not be pumping. It sounds like the pump motor is spinning but not pumping
Could it be possible that the impeller has come off the drive shaft?
Also would there be any instructions for how to pull the chiller apart to try to rectify or replace the pump?
Thanks again for your prompt reply
It's fairly common for this to be condensation so I am assuming this is the issue. In humid environments or when the chiller is getting run and low temperatures the condensation is an issue to be honest.I have a Benchy that has a drip from the left hand side about 1/2 way down that side

Thanks for that info. I might have to put a dash more glycol in it as I did have a frozen batch in the fermenter a while back (only time)
I’ll start pulling it apart next week
I have a RAPT fermentation chamber that I've been using exclusively for distilling fermentations. Been pretty consistent about keeping it clean but I've noticed some staining down the left side (pictures). When I took off the fan shroud I noticed additional dripping stains. I'm guessing it's from the condensation on the copper tubing, so I have 3 questions.
1. Can I insulate the tube with something to keep this from happening again?
2. Is there a way to clean the stains? I've tried Lysol all purpose cleaner as well as a bleach solution and nothing will take the stains out.
3. Also, there is a black sticky patch around a portion of one of the tube's. It was almost coming off so I pressed it back. Anyone know what this is for and if I shouldn't have tampered with it?
That looks like it's working. ThanksIt's very difficult to stop the condensation in this part of the RAPT chamber. Like all fridges the condensation will eventually form on the evaporator and tubing that leads to the evaporator.
The stain is most likely from some copper oxide so something like citric acid solution to clean the stain but I would not be using any strong acid on the copper tube itself. If you painted the copper tube with some nail polish or epoxy paint this would also probably prevent condensation coming off the copper and then staining the inside of the fridge.
I think the black sticky tape is for holding the parts in place while the assembly is done on this unit.
