Phenomena The waste in the waste chamber cannot be drained. Analysis cannot be
performed until the error is resolved.
Probable Cause 1) Bent, kinked, or blocked drain line tubing
2) Defective float switch or sensor inside the waste chamber
3) Defective solenoid valve
Corrective Action 1) Check the waste line tubing and nipple on the rear panel of the instrument.
If the tube connected to the waste drain nipple is bent, kinked, or blocked,
clean or replace it.
If no blockage is found and if the error is resolved after a while, it is
assumed that the dirt is accumulated inside the tubing. To clean the
tubing, execute waste chamber cleaning sequence. Refer to
Chapter 5,
Section 5.2: Execute Clean Waste Chamber Sequence
.
2) If the error persists, contact Sysmex service representative.
Only when it is requested by the service representative, open the left side
cover and check the float switch(es) and tubing visually with his/her
assistance. (See Figure 8-1 for chamber location.)
Pay special attention to dirt and blockage around the drain outlet nipple
within the waste chamber.
