Troubleshoot Run Problems

Use the following table to troubleshoot problems encountered during a cluster generation
run.

Problem

Possible Cause

Action

Temperature out of range

Often indicates that the cBot did
not reach the set temperature in
the expected time. Can also
indicate a potential control
board failure.

Email Illumina Technical
Support.

Coolant is flowing and
coolant level is low

Coolant has slowly evaporated
to a low level.

Add Illumina coolant
(part # 1003709) to the coolant
reservoir.

Coolant is not flowing and
coolant level is low

Coolant level might be too low
to generate flow.

Add Illumina coolant
(part # 1003709) to the coolant
reservoir.

Coolant is not flowing and
coolant level is not low

Potential coolant pump failure.

Instrument is in a locked
state
