Why does my Sterlco Temperature Controller have temperature fluctuations?
- M
  Maureen BrownAug 3, 2025
  Temperature fluctuations in your Sterlco Temperature Controller can occur due to several reasons: * Undersized connectors or water lines: Increase their size. * Long connecting lines: Shorten them by moving the unit closer to the mold. * Serpentine flow through the mold: Connect lines for parallel flow. * Blocked line in the mold: Check and clean the mold for any obstructions. * Quick disconnect fitting with check valve: Replace the fitting or valve. * Carbon build-up: Clean or replace affected piping and replace the fluid. * Faulty Sterlco TCU: Check the unit by opening the manual bypass to see if the TCU controls the set point temperature. * Reversed probes: Switch the Return and Delivery probes.

  If your Sterlco Temperature Controller unit isn't heating properly or can't reach the set point, consider these potential causes: * Loss of fluid: Check all lines, connections, and fittings for leaks. * Vent valve open: Allow the vent timer to run out, or check the valve operation when the unit is cold by opening the fill port. * Faulty or dirty solenoid valve: Switch to Manual Cool mode several times to flush the valve; if the leak continues, disconnect the power, turn off the water supply, and clean or replace the solenoid. * Degraded fluid: Drain and replace the fluid.

  If your Sterlco Temperature Controller is not heating, check if: * The controller heater output is open: Check the heater output with an ohmmeter to ground. It should read in the mega-ohm range. Infinite or zero readings indicate a defective output. * The Y strainer is clogged: Clean the Y strainer.
