Problem Title:
Cut-Out Theremostat Problems of Tuttnauer E/EA/EK/EAK
Problem Description:
Red reset button will not reset
Reasons
1. Either the Cut-Off is always activated or it is damaged

Solutions

1. Make sure the Chamber has cooled. If the Chamber remains hot
the Cut-Out Thermostat can not be reset.
2. Use a sharp pointed object, like the point of a pencil or pen to fully depress the reset button if necessary. When reset a small click can be detected, the button however will not stay in.
3. If power is not restored to the autoclave then unplug the unit and remove the two power wires going to the Cut-Out Thermostat. Use an ohm meter to check continuity across the terminals
4. If continuity can not be restored across the terminals of the Cut-Out
Thermostat by pushing in the red reset button then replace the Cut-Out Thermostat
