Problem Title:
Exhaust Problem of Tuttnauer E/EA/EK/EAK |
|
Problem Description:
Water leaks back at the end of the Exhaust cycle |
| Reasons |
| 1. Some water went back from the reservior |
|
Solutions |
| 1. The Reservoir may be over filled |
| 2. There may be a pin hole in the body of the Cooling Coil allowing water to siphon back. If the machine runs for a long time. |
| 3. The open end of the Cooling Coil in the water Reservoir may be below the water line. This will result in water flowing back into the Chamber during at the end of the Exhaust Phase. This will only be true for E and EK machines and can be easily corrected by reaching into the Reservoir and holding down the body of the coil while pulling up on and stretching the neck. |
| 4. EA and EKA machines have a different Cooling Coil and a Check Valve to protect against this situation. The Check Valve is located next to the Reservoir in the exhaust line. If suck back is occurring during the Dry Cycle or normal cool down then replace the Check Valve. |
