Fault description
Possible cause
Required measures
Condensation (continued)
Condensation or icing at the
sides of the inner chamber.
Set-point for a long time below ambi-
ent temperature, icing in the preheat-
ing chamber.
Defrost the chamber (chap. 18).
Condensation at the samples
or at the sides of the inner
chamber; information message
“Preheat phase” on the control-
ler display.
MKF 56: Main power switch (1)
turned on less than 1 hour before op-
erating the chamber.

Humidity
Humidity fluctuation:
Control accuracy of +/- 2.5 %
r.H. is not reached.
Door gasket defective.
Replace door gasket.
Door opened very frequently. Open doors less frequently.
Humidity fluctuation, together
with temperature fluctuation
> 1 °C with a set-point approx.
3 °C above ambient tempera-
ture.
Place of installation too hot.
Select cooler place of installa-
tion or contact BINDER service.
No or low dehumidification.
Capillary tube blocked.
Contact BINDER service.
Not enough refrigerant.
Humidity control turned off.

the inner chamber.
Combination of temperature/humidity
set-point values not in the optimum
range (see temperature humidity dia-
gram, Figure 19)
Select combination of tempera-
ture/humidity set-point values in
the optimum range (chap. 17).
Temperature set-point was too long
below ambient temperature, icing in
the preheating chamber.

Combination of temperature/humidity
set-point values leads to falling below
the dew point.
Select suitable combination of
temperature/humidity set-point
values.
Low humidity and temperature
