How to Run PGT/PCS/PSC/PST Star Sandwich Grill Diagnostics

The following PGT/PCS/PSC/PST Star Sandwich Grill Diagnostics directions are courtesy of our friends at Star Manufacturing. These are intended for authorized service technicians.

Hold down button one and push the toggle switch up to turn on the unit.

The unit will start “TEST” mode and will start a 5:00 minute timer. The first test is always the bottom platen, and the diagnostics will verify that the platen will increase 25 degrees Fahrenheit within that 5-minute span.

Once the bottom platen reaches temperature, the controller will display “PAS?”.

If the unit doesn't reach temperature, the controller will display “FAIL”. Check:

• The relay wiring.
• That RTDs are wired correctly.
• The heater wiring is correct and the element is good.

Press button one to continue the next platen test.

The time will reset to 5:00 minutes and start testing the upper left platen.
