Pressure Leaks
Look For Steam Leaking Around the Door On Midmark M9 & M11 Autoclaves
If your Midmark Autoclave has generated one of the following error codes, then it is possible you have a pressure leak
- C534, C544, C573, C574, C575
- C633, C634
- C980, C981, C982, C983, C985
And this is the place to start
Run a cycle while you watch the front of the autoclave
If you see steam leaking from anywhere around the door on your Midmark Autoclave, then you have a "Pressure Leak" and it is causing your heating element to stay on at full force without cycling on and off trying to get to the preset temperature...and it can't do it.
This causes your overheat thermostat to cut the power to the heating element as a safety feature and that in turn generates the error code
The remedy is simple, replace the Door & Dam Gasket With one of our kits.

But, if the door stays sealed without any steam leaks, then you will want to move on to the next step
