| Problem |
Possible Cause & Solution |
|
One
heat element does not get hot |
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 |
Temperature
controller may be broken.
Solution: Refer to Temperature controller
manual and replace if necessary. |

Oil is Discovered in
Motor (applies
primarily to B-500 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 |
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) |
