If the fuse and thermostat(s) are functioning correctly, then the heating elements on
the machine may have failed. Contact Comtec to see if replacement heating elements
are available for your machine.
5.8. Incorrect heating element
If your dies are overheating, shut down your machine and allow the die to cool down.
Once the machine has cooled down, remove the cover from the heating elements and
read the markings on the side of the elements. Model 1100’s that are manufactured for
operation in North America are equipped with heating elements that are marked
“120V, 500W”. Model 1100’s that are manufactured for operation in countries with
220 V electrical systems are marked “240V, 500 W”. Elements for a Model 2200 are
marked “240V, 500W”. NEVER operate your Comtec press with the incorrect heating
elements installed.
6.1. Loose screw or component
If all other sources of noise have been ruled out, check over your machine for loose
screws or components. All screws, bolts and other components should be securely
fastened to the machine.
6.2. Machine has been moved
If the machine has been moved, it is possible that some oil may have spilled over the
side of the oil reservoir. See “Failed oil tank gasket” above.
