Can somebody please tell me the operating temp of a 175c dresser loader? I recently purchased one and it seems to be running hot 2-220. Thanks

Wash the outside of the radiator first, verify good airflow across the core, if still hot check the temp gauge for accuracy should it not be boiling coolant out, at last step change the thermostat AND seal. 175-190 should be high end.

Thanks for the reply. Any suggestions on how to check t stat? I have a temp gun but not sure where to aim it. Thanks again.

Coolant in the top tank at temp is what is passing the t-stat, should be the operating range of the unit, if the gauge is showing 200 and the top tank is at 190 to 170 then the gauge is probably off, cannot get that wide a degree difference that fast, thermometer need to be in the coolant stream. If it is 200 then you need to pull the stat. Tube type thermostats if this one has one require a seal to keep from bypassing to much coolant, if it has a tubular style replace the seal gently.
