9  Troubleshooting 

 

WARNING:

 

Troubleshooting  procedures  involve 

working  with  high  voltages  and/or  temperatures 
which  may  result  in  personal  injury  or  death,  and 
should  only  be  performed  by  trained  personnel. 
Please  do  not  hesitate  to  contact  Koehler  for 
assistance. 
 

9.1  Unit does not power up 

 

 

Establish  that  the  socket  outlet  is  providing 
proper and adequate voltage. 

 

Check  if  Overpower  Protection  circuitry 
located  directly  behind  the  temperature 
controller  inside  the  front  tray  has  been 
activated. 

 

Check if line switch is in the 

ON 

position. 

 

If  problem  persists,  please  call  the  Koehler 
technical service department for assistance. 

 

9.2  Unit  is  on  and  keeps  resetting  into 

start up routine 

 

 

For  220V  units,  make  sure  that  the  socket 
outlet is greater than 215V. 

 

Check if there is a steady and reliable power 
source. 

 

Make  sure  the  connector  plug  on  the  rear 
panel is firmly plugged in. 

 

9.3  Unit is on but bath does not heat up 

 

 

Make  sure  that  the  actual  temperature 
reading  is  not  higher  than  the  set-point 
temperature. 

 

Determine  if  the  temperature  controller  is 
properly  calibrated  by  comparison  to  an 
ASTM standard thermometer. 

 

Determine if the Overtemperature Protection 
(OTP) circuitry as been activated. 

 

9.4  Bath  heats  up  but  temperature  does 

not stabilize 

 

 

Make  sure  there  are  no  drafts  from  open 
doors,  windows,  or  environmental  control 
vents in the vicinity of the bath. 

 

If  the  set  temperature  is  close  to  ambient, 
then  you  may  need  to  circulate  cold  water 
through  the  coils  in  order  to  achieve  proper 
temperature stability.
