Problem Title:
Tuttnauer E/EA/EK/EAK Drying Problem
Problem Description:
Items are burning or melting
Reasons
1. High Temperature

Solutions

1. Voltage from the wall outlet is too high. The higher the voltage the more heat will be produced. Higher heat can damage items during the dry cycle.

The proper voltage range for 110 volt machines is between 110 and 125.

The proper range for 220 volt machines is between 220 and 235 volts. Items are lying up against the Chamber wall.

The Chamber wall is much hotter than the temperature of the air inside the Chamber. A hot Chamber wall can damage anything that touches it.

The Heating Elements are shorted allowing them to run continuously

The Heat SSR is defective allowing the Heating Elements to run continuously

The Safety Thermostat and / or Cut-Out Thermostat are not functioning properly. The probes maybe loose or mispositioned or the tubes maybe kinked.
