    Why do I see corrosion or spots on my instruments after using the W&H Med Laboratory Equipment?
    • P
      Phyllis BoydAug 14, 2025
      Corrosion or spots on instruments can occur for several reasons. Make sure instruments are dry before sterilizing and use good quality water, avoiding chemical substances. Also, ensure instruments are cleaned of organic or chemical residues. Clean the chamber, trays, and rack regularly. Prevent contact between different metals by using separate trays, cassettes, or pouches. Finally, clean the chamber to remove scale deposits and use good quality water.

    What to do if there is residual water in the chamber of my W&H Med lina after the cycle?

      If you find residual water in the chamber after a cycle, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the sterilizer is properly leveled. Second, avoid overloading the chamber and adhere to the maximum load weight limits for each load type, always using the chamber rack for trays and cassettes. Third, check if the chamber filter is clogged and clean it if necessary. Finally, make sure the chamber filter cap is correctly positioned.

    Why is my W&H Med lina Laboratory Equipment leaking water at the front?
    • J
      Juan WoodAug 21, 2025
      If water is leaking at the front of your W&H Med Laboratory Equipment sterilizer, the chamber door gasket may be leaking. Try cleaning or replacing the door gasket and clean the chamber face side. If the leak persists, it might be an internal leak, and you should contact technical service.

      If the chamber door of your W&H Med Laboratory Equipment locks but re-opens immediately, and the “Open the door” message appears, first check that the door gasket is evenly inserted around the entire circumference. Also, ensure the door isn't jammed by external objects or the load itself; remove any obstructions and verify that the door isn't forced against the load or chamber furniture.

    Why is there no pressure or temperature rise in my W&H Med lina?
    • V
      Vanessa KingAug 28, 2025
      If the cycle starts on your W&H Med Laboratory Equipment, but there is no pressure or temperature increase, reset the safety thermostat switch. If the problem continues, contact technical service, as it may be an electric or electronic fault.

    Why is the sterilization process phase longer than expected in my W&H Med lina Laboratory Equipment?
    • M
      Mark KelleyAug 31, 2025
      If the sterilization process phase of a sterilization cycle on your W&H Med Laboratory Equipment takes longer than expected, allow the cycle to complete. This may occur if the chamber temperature dropped below the minimum threshold, but the software successfully recovered. If this issue occurs frequently, contact technical service.

    What to do if the automatic water filling is not working in my W&H Med Laboratory Equipment?
    • R
      Randall McguireSep 3, 2025
      If your W&H Med Laboratory Equipment is connected to an automated water supply but the tank isn't filling, first ensure the water fill system is properly connected to the sterilizer. If it is connected, and the tank still isn't filling, switch the sterilizer off and then on again, and check the external water supply system for any issues. Also, check for water leaks from the sterilizer. If none of the above resolves the issue, contact service, as there might be a faulty MIN water level sensor in the clean water tank.
