COMPLAINTS
12. POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
BREAKER OR FUSES
CONTINUALLY BLOW
13. EXCESSIVE PROBLEM WITH
BURNED OFF WIRE CONNECTIONS
TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
POSSIBLE CAUSES
1. Undersized breaker or fuses.
(See installation section for ratings.)
2. Wrong voltage supply to steamer.
(A 208 volt steamer supplied with 230
volts will draw approximately 33%
excess amperage over the rated
nameplate amps).
3. Shorted wiring or connections at
terminal block or contactor.
4. Faulty beating element.
5. Carbon buildup across contactor
contacts or heating element terminals.
AS A RULE OF THUMB, IF A CIRCUIT BREAKER
TRIPS IMMEDIATELY, THERE IS A SHORT
CIRCUIT. IF IT STAYS ON A WHILE AND TEEN
TRIPS IT IS OVERLOADED OR THE BREAKER OR
FUSE IS WEAK.
1. Factory wire connections are made very
carefully. During the life of any
machine, wire connections can bum off
due to loose connections, or faulty
controls.
WHEN A CONNECTION BURNS OFF, BOTH THE
WIRE AND THE TERMINAL CONNECTORS SHOULD
BE REPLACED. NEW TERMINALS ON BURNED
WIRE WILL JUST BURN OFF AGAIN.
