Tuttnauer
Model of Sterilizer:
Problem Title:
Tuttnauer E/EA/EK/EKA Temperature Problem
Problem Description:
High Temperature message is displayed
Reasons
1.

High Temperature

-- Refers to temperature in the Chamber after the sterilization temperature has been reached. If temperature rises 90F above the required sterilization temperature the cycle will be aborted.

This message can ALSO indicate a bad Temperature Sensor ¨C the message will display any time during the heat up phase. If this happens then replace the Temperature Sensor

Solutions

1. Insufficient water in the Chamber
2. Water leaking out of the Chamber
3. The sterilization phase of the cycle has been set for too long a period of time, allowing the Chamber water to boil away, and the Chamber to run dry.
4. Heating Elements are not centered or tightened properly
5. Heating Elements remaining on instead of cycling on and off.
6. Pressure or Temperature calibration is incorrect 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.
Use a mechanical pressure gauge to verify and recalibrate the pressure
Use an electronic thermometer to verify temperature. Recalibrate as needed
