COMPLAINTS
14. WATER CONTINUALLY RUNS OUT
OF THE DRAIN LINE
15. STEAM LEAKS OUT OF COOKING
COMPARTMENT DOOR
TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
POSSIBLE CAUSES
1. Power switch is off for over 5 minutes.
a. Fill solenoid leaking through its
seat.
b. Purge solenoid leaking through its
seat.
c. Condenser solenoid leaking through
its seat.
d. Purge timer contacts stuck closed.
2. Power switch is on & heat switch is
off.
a. Condenser solenoid is leaking
through its seat.
b. Drain solenoid is leaking through
its seat.
3. Power switch is on & steam switch is
on.
a. Normal operation - condenser water
is fed into drain line to condense
steam, so only condensate exits the
drain line.
1. The Steamcraft II is a pressureless
free venting steamer. Steam coming out
the door almost always indicates a
restricted or partially restricted
drain line. A condenser solenoid that
is not operating can also cause this
problem. The cold water in the drain,
condensing the steam* causes a natural
vacuum which helps draw the steam down
the drain.
2. A broken or badly swollen door gasket.
3. Food buildup on gasket keeping the
gasket from sealing properly.
