    Why can't I change programs and the FAIL light remains on Tuttnauer 3170?

      Dr. Christy Flores MDAug 16, 2025
      If you cannot change programs and the FAIL light remains on for your Tuttnauer Laboratory Equipment, it might be due to a problem with the printer paper. Turn off the main switch. Remove the printer paper. Then, turn the main switch back on. The cycle should return to the previous stage. Insert the printer paper, making sure it is correctly positioned.
