Error Code 341

Does anyone know the details on  " error code 341- Retort Lid Sensor error". It appeared once, we stopped the program, started it again,  and it completed its run successfully. We just had a PM done on the processor the previous week. It seems to be running fine now  but I would feel more at ease if I knew why the error occurred and how to prevent it from stopping another program run in the future.

Level sense errors
I have a vip6 that displays level sense errors when attempting to start a clean cycle. Process completes with no errors. When inspecting sensors I find paraffin buildup around sensors. Temps are within ranges. Any ideas?

Sakura VIP 6 AI tissue processor - errors 321 and 324

Sakura VIP 6 AI tissue processor. Errors 321 and 324 are not listed in the service manual for the VIP 6 (I haven't seen a service manual for the "AI" version). It appears that these are new codes for the "AI" version of this processor. The description closely matches the description for errors 311 and 314. Does anyone know what the differences might be? Does anyone have a service manual for the VIP 6 AI?
