Advice / Technique |
|
One Heat Element Does Not Get Hot (Applies to B-500 & B-450) |
Heating Element wires may be loose or element is burned out. Check connections at temperature controller. If both are tight, disconnect and check for continuity across heat element wires. Solution: If no continuity, replace Heater Harness Assembly. |
|
Neither Heat Element Gets Hot (Applies to B-500 & B-450) |
Temperature controller may be broken. Solution: Refer to Temperature controller manual and replace if necessary. |
|
Oil Discovered in Motor (Applies primarily to B-500M Horizontal - Style C & Style D machinery) |
There is an oil seal between the motor and the gearbox. While seals and journals are of high quality, the seal has a finite life. Motors positioned with the gearbox above the motor (Style C&D Sealers) will eventually see some leakage of gearbox lubricant back into the motor as the seal wears out. To prevent this occurrence, even in the long term, the gearboxes may be filled with grease rather than the standard gear lube when they are to be positioned vertically, gearbox above motor. The grease is too heavy to migrate around a worn seal or journal. |
|
"E-7" error code displayed on Temperature Controller (Applies to B-500) |
Thermocouple wires are loose or broken. Check thermocouple wires at temperature controller. Make sure connections are tight. If they are and "E-7" error still appears, detach wires from temperature controller and check for continuity across thermocouple wires. Solution: If no continuity, replace thermocouple (i.e. Heater Harness Assembly) |
