it starts fine, warms up fine, reaches good temp and timer starts, but when it does a cycle to warm up again and the heat on light turns on the timer stops and doesnt continue until the heat on light turns off
is this a latching relay fault or a clock fault? it didnt had a latching relay when they purchased it for some reason and it worked fine before
I am having an issue with the door solenoid burning out. I replaced one and it was good for a few months then burnt out. Replaced another and it burnt out in a week along with some switches. I replaced all the switches, main relay and electrical contractor along with another door solenoid and it burnt out again and the door open light was slightly on even when the unit was in power off mode (but would light with full intensity when power was applied which made me think leak somewhere). I replaced the wall thermostat on the suggestion of a fellow tech and that fixed the weak light on the open door but I don't want to burn up another solenoid. SO before I throw another solenoid in this beast does anyone know what the voltage SHOULD be on the #2 wire in the different positions? # 2 wire that connects to the door solenoid has a leg coming from the pressure interlock switch and the open door light. RPI told me that the solenoid shouldn't be under constant voltage but I have 120VAC coming from that #2 wire to the body of the unit but I don't know if that's an acceptable test point. I don't have any voltage going from where the #2 wire connects to the solenoid to the pressure interlock switch. RE: Pelton and Crane - MagnaClave
Does anyone have a proper wiring diagram for a Magnaclave showing wire numbers and connection schematic for the timer relay socket base. Mine blew out and the generic schematic is useless at best.
have in the shop a magnaclave with a pitted chamber that is leaking. Are there any regulations against having this stainless steel chamber repaired by a certified welder. If so what documentation do I need to have them provide. The pressures are low in comparison to many pressure vessels (32 psi) and the temp is under 400 degrees even if the overtemp sensor fails. What about table top model like the OCM & OCR, can these chambers be welded. Finding a replacement chamber is next to impossible and this seems to be the only "unrepairable" item on the sterilizers.
