How to replace the overheating protection on T310/H
This unit type is equipped with a preset thermostat as
overheating protection. The component is fixed to the side of
the tank. The preset switch-off temperature is approx. 60°C.
If the temperature rises above 70°C during operation without
cover (contact permanently closed), or if the unit does not heat
at all (contact permanently opened), the thermostat is probably
faulty.
A short circuit in the heating element can damage the
thermostat. The breakdown can also be caused by material
fatigue due to the ultrasonic activity.
At room temperature, the switch contacts are closed, i.e. an
ohm throughput can be measured.
