Thermo King alarm 89. HELP ASAP PLEASE

Honestly I would fork out the cash and get it fixed ASAP if not by Thermo King then by somebody. Otherwise your looking at a rejected load and that will probably cost more than getting it done in the first place.

 

From 35 to 55 and shutting off every 10 minutes - depending on how long that's been going on you may already have a refused load on your hands. If your shipper is using a temp checker it might a refused load based on that gizmo anyway. Need to know, because if it's a lost load there's no point in paying TK for Sunday rates.

 

it is just the cost of doing business
you roll the dice and hope for the best

 

If that one pallet exceeds the cost of repair then get it repaired tomorrow. Otherwise you're going to get it repaired on Monday no matter what. Here's a link to troubleshoot:

if that code is for the hi speed solenoid you may be able to manually turn up idle with set screw or wedge something between screw and throttle to see if temp will come down ive had that code before but it never shut down . is their another code causing shutdown unless it shuts down from being so far out of range

 

I wonder how long has the reefer been acting up before he called you with the problem?

 

If I read it right and he is on his way IN to Denver from NJ, 300 miles will be 4 or 5 hours. By now he should be on the approach to receiver. I would advise to get there as fast as you can and try to get it unloaded, explain to them what happened. If it was only swinging that big range of temperature you might be ok, depending on what the product is. Tell your driver to haul ###!

 

did you find out what the problem was and what had to be repaired?

I have a similar problem.
