The distiller fills to normal operating level, but the heating
element will not heat or bring water to a boil.
♦
If the reset is not popped or the fan is running and the boiling tank is full of
water, you may have a defective heating element.
♦
If water continues to fill the boiling tank after draining the tank, and the fan
isn’t operating, then you may have a defective high-level boiling tank micro-
switch. Check with a volt/ohm meter.
♦
If the function switch is in the “Distill” position, the fan is not operating, you
may have a defective function switch. Check with a volt/ohm meter.
The boiling tank overflows with water.
Note
: If your machine is new, make sure you have removed the wire tie used to restrain
the float during transit.
♦
If the float actuating arm is depressing the high-level microswitches (the bottom
ones) and the float rod is moving freely and floats accordingly with the water
level, you may have a defective microswitch. Check with a volt/ohm meter.
If the microswitches check out ok, and the heating element and fan come on,
then you need to replace the heating element relay. Check with a volt/ohm
meter.
♦
If the microswitches and heating element relay check out ok, then you may
have a defective solenoid. Turn the main power switch to “Off”. If water contin-
ues to flow into the boiling tank, then you need to replace the solenoid.
♦
If the float is not moving freely, you may need to install a new bushing and
o-ring float repair kit.
♦
If the float ball is full of water, replace the float ball.
Machine does not shut off when storage tank is full.
♦
If the storage tank high-level microswitch is fully depressed, then you may have
a defective microswitch. Depress both the boiling tank and storage tank high-
level microswitches. If the unit does not shut down, remove one wire from the
boiling tank microswitch. If the unit shuts down, replace the boiling tank
microswitch. If the machine does shut down, leave the wire off and remove one
wire from the storage tank high-level microswitch. If the unit shuts down,
replace the storage tank microswitch.
♦
If the unit does not shut down when removing the wires from testing the boiling
tank and storage tank microswitch wires, then you need to replace the main
control relay.
