Sterilizer Manufacturer:
Tuttnauer
Model of Sterilizer:
Tuttnauer 1730 E/EK
Problem Title:
Tuttnauer E/EA/EK/EKA Temperature Problem
Problem Description:
Temperature rises above maximum sterilization temperature, such as: higher than 273F

Solutions

1. Check that the preset temperature is not set any higher than 273F (134C)

Check if the Heating Elements are staying on continuously, if so then see Heat up problems

Heating Elements are not centered or tightened properly

Check that the pressure in the unit is not dropping. Dropping pressure would indicate a loss of water in the Chamber.

Turn off the power and disconnect and then reconnect all cables and connectors inside and outside the Electronic Box making sure that there are no bent or broken pins and all connections are solid.

Verify that the pressure and temperature reading are correct by using a mechanical pressure gage and an independent thermometer.

If the displayed pressure is not accurate then recalibrate the Pressure Sensor

If the displayed temperature is not accurate then recalibrate the Temperature Sensor [see sec 8.4]
