Troubleshooting Your Flavor Burst System
Although we 100% stand behind our machines and follow quality processes to ensure they are manufactured to the highest standards, like anything else, once in a while a Flavor Burst machine can malfunction, break down, or have operational issues. Usually, the issue is simple and easily solved, but it is important to be armed with the knowledge of what to do if your Flavor Burst machine has a problem you cannot fix yourself.
It is also important to note that the Flavor Burst system is a separate piece of equipment from the freezer it’s attached to and manufactured by a different company. If you are experiencing problems with the freezer itself, be sure to contact the freezer manufacturer for help in diagnosing and repairing problems related to the freezer.

Flavor Burst Machine Problems and Solutions
With the Flavor Burst system, there are three main categories of problems that customers may experience including CTP/ JBT panel issues, product quality issues, or syrup and product leaks. Some of these problems occur simply because the technology is overloaded or defective, the components are not properly connected and maintained, or the parts are overly worn.
In many cases, reading the owner’s manual, following best practice operating procedures, and regularly inspecting and cleaning the Flavor Burst system will help to eliminate any major problems. For diagnosis and quick fix solutions, check out our Troubleshooting Guide.
We believe in our product. Every new Flavor Burst system purchased through a Taylor distributor comes with a three year limited warranty that covers defects in materials and product design under normal use. If you purchase a Flavor Burst system from a different distributor, the warranty conditions may differ so make sure to contact your distributor representative for more information.
