      If your Binder climate chamber isn't working, first check the power supply connection. Then, verify that the power supply voltage is correct. Ensure the main power switch is turned on. For MK/MKT 115, 240, and 720 models, also check and turn on the rear power switch. Inspect the chamber fuse and replace it if needed; if it fails again, contact BINDER service.
