How to troubleshoot a Coltene Media Converter that will not operate?
If your Coltene Media Converter unit isn't operating, first, ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position and the detachable power cord is fully connected at the back. The ON/OFF indicator light should be illuminated. Next, verify the unit's electrical plug is securely in an active AC receptacle. Finally, disconnect the power cord and inspect the fuse(s).
What to do if Coltene Media Converter sprays water, but the insert does not vibrate?
If the Coltene Media Converter sprays water but the insert doesn't vibrate, the issue might be with the insert itself or the frequency setting. Try using a different insert, as the original might be worn or damaged without being visibly obvious. Also, check the indicator light to confirm the unit is set to the same frequency as the insert. Adjust the switch on the back of the unit to the correct frequency if needed.
Why is there no water at the insert of my Coltene Media Converter?
If there's no water at the insert of your Coltene Media Converter, ensure the H2O control is properly adjusted to allow a fine mist or rapid drip. Check that the main shut-off valve is open and that the water knob is turned clockwise to the 'open' position. Inspect both the disposable and customer-supplied in-line water filters for clogs, and confirm that the water lines are not kinked. Lastly, check the insert tip for any blockages.
