Chapter 4 Fault diagnosis
118 SMSO-2-02.04- 15.07.03
Steam generator does not heat up
System / component Possible cause Remedy
Feed valve defective replace (see spare parts catalogue)
Steam generator
Heating defective or heavily calcified replace (see “Maintenance, steam
generator”)
Electrical faults
Power PCB
Faulty power PCB, power relay, cabling
or plug
carry out checks (see control system
diagram, power PCB” and “heating for
instant heater, tea”)
Unit control system defective replace (see “Maintenance, unit control
system”)
Load machine data (counter and set-
tings) to new unit control system
Safety thermostat(s) Safety thermostat(s) triggered as a re-
sult of over-temperature in the instant
heater
Clarify the reason for the over-heating;
reset the safety thermostat, or replace if
there are visible traces of the effects of
heat.
Level probe faulty, calcified or faulty cabling carry out checks, and if necessary re-
place (see “control system diagram,
level probe” and “functional descriptions,
level probe”)
Programming
Steam generator heating is blocked Correct the programming (see pro-
gramming instructions)
Temperature incorrectly programmed Correct the programming (see pro-
gramming instructions and “Technical
Data, standard settings”)
Over-pressure in the steam generator
System / component Possible cause Remedy
Electrical faults
Power PCB / power relay
Power PCB, power relay defective (con-
tacts bonded, and thus no longer switch
off)
check and replace the power PCB or
power relay (see control system dia-
gram, steam generator”)
Temperature sensor Temperature sensor defective or calci-
fied
clean or replace and carry out checks
(see “control system diagram, tempera-
ture sensor, steam”)
Unit control system defective replace (see “Maintenance, unit control
system”)
Load machine data (counter and set-
tings) to new unit control system
Programming
Instant heater
Temperature incorrectly programmed Correct the programming (see pro-
gramming instructions and “Technical
Data, standard settings”)
