Solutions

1. Be sure to turn the power off when connecting or disconnecting wires during trouble shooting of the power supply

Make sure the boards in the Electronic Box are free of any dust build up

Check for proper voltage on the input of the Power Supply - if voltages are to low or to high even for short periods of time this can create a problem for the power supply

Whether this is a Condor or a Protek Power Supply when set up for 110 volt operation the Power Supply should have an input voltage between 110 and 125 volts AC. When set up for 220 volt operation there should be an input voltage between 220 and 235 volts AC

Turn the autoclave off and then back on to reset the Power Supply

Check for loose wire or cable connections throughout the autoclave. One at a time disconnect each connector in or on the outside of the Electronic Box inspect each connector for bent or broken pins. reconnect each connector making sure a good solid connection is established.

Check for any wires that may be pinched or where the insulation is worn away causing that wire to ground out to some metal part of the autoclave Remove each Solenoid Coil and check with an ohm meter for any sign of shorting

Replace the Power Supply
