System Analysis

Description

The system was unable to unlock the chamber door after the cycle.

The unlocking issue may be caused by:

  • Residual pressure remaining in the chamber
  • A fault in the door release mechanism
  • Problems with the actuator, sensor, or mainboard

1. Power cycle the device

Turn off the autoclave and turn it back on.

2. Start and cancel a cycle

Run any program and stop it after a few seconds. The device will begin pressure equalization.

3. Wait for the confirming message

Wait until the display shows: “READY / Chamber is safe to open.”This confirms that no overpressure remains inside.
