› Testing The Kavoklave Heating Element
Testing The Kavoklave Heating Element
Testing The Heating Element Consists Of Simply Measuring The Resistance of the Element. To perform this test, you will need an Ohm Meter, nothing fancy or expensive. You can buy a cheap (but good) meter from Lowes, Home Depot or even Walmart for around $20.00 (a digital readout is easiest to work with)
How To Test The Kavoklave Autoclave Heating Element
To gain access to the heating element terminals for testing, you will need to remove the cover on the bottom of the unit. Simply folow the instructions below
Remove the 3 screws as shown in the picture above
Carefully, pull the plate out enough to give you access to the inside - Do not disconnect the wires from the board connectd to the plate
Place the probes from your ohm meter to the Heating Element Terminals (not the wires) shown in the picture below
The Heating Element For The 120v Model is Rated at 12 ohms. Your reading should be within 10% (Between 10.8 ohms & 13.2 ohms) For The Element To Be Good
The Heating Element For The 230v Model is Rated at 42 ohms. Your reading should be within 10% (Between 37.8 ohms & 46.2 ohms)
The Heating Element on The Kavoklave Autoclave is built into the body. And cannot be replaced. So, if it is defective, you will need to purchase the Kavoklave Body Kit.
