Pelton OCM water goes back into the reservoir |

Problem Description:
We have been using the Pelton & Crane OCM sterilizer, and everything was working just fine. All of a sudden yesterday we ran a cycle, and we realized that the water went back into the reservoir, and the cycle didn't complete. What should we do? |
| Reasons |
| 1. Is this an original OCM or does it have auto-vent? Reasons this may happen are: 1. Debris in the main valve or Bellows. 2. Bellows and or Bellows Housing needs to be replaced. 3. If auto-vent, solenoid may be bad or need cleaning. |
