Tech Tip: Be sure your Eagle 10 Heating Element is defective before replacing it, by performing the following test
How To Test The Eagle 10 & Eagle 10 Plus Heating Element
This test consists of measuring the amount of resistance in the heating element. To do this, first, turn the autoclave off and unplug it from the wall
WARNING: CURRENT MUST NOT BE PRESENT WHEN MEASURING RESISTANCE.
Set your volt/ohm meter on 200 ohms (200 NOT 200k). The ohms range is located within the Omega (Ω)(look for this symbol) section of your meter. It is also the area with "k" ranges (ie: 2000k,. 200k, 20K and then 2000, 200).
Place a probe from the volt/ohm meter on each wire where it connects to the heater (it really doesn't matter which color probe goes where).
| For the heating element to be good, it must fall within the resistance range in this table (between 8.1 and 9.9 ohms) If your reading is outside of this range, then it is defective and needs to be replaced. |
