The model number number you gave doesn’t cross to anything. Maybe that’s the serial number? Not helpful in identifying your unit. For that matter, I’m not familiar with Carter-Hoffmann making anything called a “fermenter”.
Â
Perhaps you could post a picture of the front of the unit and a picture of the data sticker.
-
Carter Hoffman generally start there model numbers with two or three letters. And they make a lot or transport cabinets and holding ovens. As well as dish and pan racks, servers, convection ovens, coolers, etc. They make a lot for transportation industry.

Hi all. Just locking back and fordward, and also I just writed and have an excelent reception from the Carter-Hoffmann tech support,. just they send to me the owner manual and the unit is a Retherm Holding Cabinet made for McDonalds, models are MD1144 (our) , MD832 and MD2832.

Those numbers don’t cross to anything either.
Â
Doesn’t matter. You were able to get your owner’s manual. In my experience, Carter-Hoffmann doesn’t publish any separate service manuals for their equipment. In other words, the owner’s manual IS the service manual.

So what are you fermenting? Â I can help you change from the digital control to an analog control, perhaps with a mechanical timer, if needed
-
Why you asking me, Steve? I didn’t ask the question. I’m not fermenting anything.
Â
However, I DO so happen to be presently consuming a nice, alcoholic FERMENTED beverage.
Â
If you read the thread though, you’d see that his term – “fermenter” – was likely a mis-translation for a proofer, warmer…or something of that sort, due to our language barrier. After all, he IS in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
Â
Regarding your response in offering to change it from the digital control to an analog control, perhaps with a mechanical timer? W-E-L-L, that’s just not an acceptable maintenance practice on commercial food equipment.
Â
Do what you want though, but you WILL own its problems if you happen to do that. Its future problems and any ensuing legal ramifications.
Â
However, if you choose to go ahead and travel to Venezuela to fulfill your offer, get back with us on the quality of fermented beverages they have there.Â
