Machine does not turn on or
shuts off during use.
If your machine doesn’t turn on, this
could either be a loose connection
from shipping or your power switch
and/or circuit breaker may have
tripped during use.
• Check the wires that go into the red rocker switch
and the circuit breaker fuse. Make sure they are
tightly connected.
• If there is no light on the red rocker switch, you will
need to replace the switch.
• If there is light on the red rocker switch, you will need
to replace the circuit breaker fuse.

Minutes
Machine does not heat up
If your machine doesn’t heat up, the
two most common factors would either
be the heating element or the solid
state relay. You can identify which
part it is by doing a simple solid state
relay test.
• Locate the solid state relay which has screws
labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Disconnect and cross the
wire from port #1 into port #2. Now you will have
both wires connected into port #2 and no wire in
port #1.
• Once tightly connected, turn on your machine and
see if it heats up. If your machine heats up while
the wires are crossed, then your heating element is
working and the cause of the issue is likely the solid
state relay. If it doesn’t heat up, then your solid
state relay is ne and your heating element will need
to be replaced.
• Once the solid state relay test is complete, do not
operate the machine in this manner and return the
moved wire back to its original position.

Timer does not start
This machine has a timer actuator
switch that engages and disengages
every time you close and open your
machine. Over time, the metal arm on
the switch may be bent to a position
that does not allow for solid contact
and engagement of the timer. If this
is the case, you will need to bend it
manually back to the original position.
• Locate the timer actuator switch that is located
in the center of the machine behind the pressure
rod. This piece is a small plastic component with an
aluminum metal arm. You can identify this piece by
the black/red color.
• Lower down and see if the arm structure to your
machine is clicking into the switch. If it is not, when
you will need to be the metal arm upwards so that
your machine will click into it.

Minutes
Continually heats and does not
stop
This could be an indication that
your solid state relay is not shutting
off when it has reached the desired
temperature.
• Check the wires that go into your solid state relay.
Make sure wires on port #1 and port #2 are on their
own designated spot. If your wires are crossed from
the solid state relay test, you will need to place the
wires back to the original spot or else it will continue
to heat and not stop
• Check the red light on the solid state relay when it
reaches your desired temperature. The light should
turn off or blink when it reaches the temperature if
it is working correctly. If it doesn’t turn off, then you
will need to replace the solid state relay.

Auto Open model does not
lock down in place
The auto open models are equipped
with electro magnets that lock your
machine into place when you close
down the lid. But sometimes, the
pressure level can affect the magnet
from working correctly.
• Make sure the pressure is set so that it is rm to
close.
• If it still doesn’t lock in, then you will need to replace
the computer gauge.
