  If your sterilizer isn't operating and there's no pressure build-up, here's what you can check: * First, ensure it's installed correctly by checking the wire diagram. * Second, replace the fuse, and if it blows again, verify the electrical supply is 60 amps. * Third, the contactor may be burned out, in which case it should be replaced. * Finally, inspect all wiring for defects and repair or replace as necessary.

Why my Market Forge Industries STM-EL sterilizer is not building pressure?

  If your sterilizer operates but fails to reach 15.5 PSI pressure, consider the following: 1. The current may not be heating all elements. Remove the lower front panel to check if the heating elements are working. 2. The steam trap may not be closing. Replace the thermometer within the steam trap. 3. The exhaust valve may not be holding pressure. Check and readjust the temperature control if it's incorrectly adjusted. 4. Steam could be leaking around the door. Inspect the gasket for wear or adjust the door. 5. The safety valve might be blowing off prematurely. Replace the safety valve.

  If one or both sides of the cast-in heating elements remain on when the timer is off: * The contactors of the temperature control switch may be stuck closed, requiring switch replacement. * Alternatively, the temperature control might not be properly calibrated, so recalibration is necessary.

  If your unit releases pressure before the cycle has completed, the low water cut-off may have functioned prematurely. If so, replace the low water cut-off.

Why is my Market Forge Industries STM-EL Laboratory Equipment heating element cutting out too soon?

  If the heating element cuts out before reaching 15 lbs of pressure, the pressure might be cutting off too soon at the temperature control. Readjust the range of operation and calibration of the temperature control.
