If the recirculating pump of a Buchi F-105 chiller is making noise and turning on and off, check for possible issues such as:
1. Cooling liquid level – Verify the tank is filled to the correct level before use. 2. Hoses – Inspect hoses for wear or damage and replace if necessary. 3. Dust buildup – Clean the lamella and external parts with a damp cloth to ensure proper airflow. 4. General cleaning – Ensure the unit is clean and free of chemical splashes or debris.
If the issue persists, the unit may require servicing by trained BUCHI service personnel.

Switch off the unit, let it cool down, clean air inlet and restart. Call service if the problem persists. Problem Remedy F-100 / F-105 does not work Switch off the unit and unplug the 1 Fuse power cord. Change the fuse according to technical data and restart.
After transport, wait at least 2 hours before switching on the chiller! Within this time the refrig- erant gathers in the compressor, avoiding damage of the compressor. • Completely drain off coolant fluid (tilt appliance slightly if necessary). Then turn off the drain tap. F-100 / F-105 Operation Manual, Version C...
