Hi Dr Jameson,

Good morning. 

On the display, there are always a few things to check.

1. I found the user manual for you here: https://www.medwrench.com/documents/view/3140/getinge-400-500hc-series-getinge-400hc-and-500hc-series-user-manual

Use the manual to see if there is a part that needs to be replaced. Sometimes displays stop working on steam sterilization machines because of water build-up when opening and closing them over a few years.

Remember electronics and water don't mix well. grin.

Also, I seen these displays get knocked out because the techs will drip a bit of water when taking the utensils out of the machine. If the machine is a little older (more than 4 years) check for small cracks in the seals around the display board.

I have also seen the heat of the machine itself become too much for the electronics. That is rare, because the manufacturers I would hope would build the components to withstand normal operating temperatures. 

I do know that lately the hospitals and offices I work with have been picking up more used sterilizers through Ebay and Mazree.com auctions. The purchasing department are saving a ton picking the machines up used. I like them.
