Problem Title:
Tuttnauer Dry Pump Problem |
|
Problem Description:
Pump does not pump air |
| Reasons |
| 1. some clogged or the solenoid out of work |
|
Solutions |
| 1. Is the HEPA Filter clogged? Remove the HEPA Filter and run the dry cycle. If air is now being pumped then install a new HEPA Filter Check if the Dry Solenoid is being activated. Place a steel object like a screwdriver on the center post of the Dry Solenoid to detect a magnetic field. If a magnetic field is detected then the solenoid has been turn on. If no magnetic field is detected then Listen for a click at the Dry Solenoid when the Dry Pump turns on. A click will indicate that the solenoid should be open. If there is no click then Open the Dry Solenoid Valve remove the plunger and reinstall the housing only. Start a Dry only cycle if air is pushing through to the Chamber then the problem is with the Plunger. If not then remove the housing. If air is pushing through to the valve base then the problem is in the tubing from the valve base to the Chamber. If the air is not pushing through to the valve base then the problem is with the tubing from the base to the pump or the Dry Pump itself. Replace the pump if necessary. |
