This complaint is related to mdr #1828100-2015-00208.After the case, the heater cooler unit was pulled out of service.The field service rep (fsr) verified the unit was receiving a fault code of "e0e" on channel b when the unit was heated to 42 degrees celsius and into a cool-down.During testing, the fsr found mix valve failing, causing the e0e error.The customer has very poor quality water scale from the ice maker, which leaves a sandy residue in the ice/water tank.The fsr suspects the residue is clogging the mix valves causing them to fail.The fsr flushed clean water through the unit many times and the customer has tried descaling the unit but neither have resolved the issue.The mix valves are on back-order at this time.The fsr is awaiting repair parts.The fsr removed the unit from service.
