DANGER: READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS BULLETIN THOROUGHLY BEFORE
STARTING ANY TROUBLE SHOOTING. AN INADVERTENT SERVICE ERROR COULD RESULT
IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. ONLY A TRAINED EXPERIENCED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN SHOULD ATTEMPT ANY REPAIR PROCEDURE.
Qualifi ed serviced agencies are available at most locations - Refer to EmberGlo listing of AUTHO-
RIZED SERVICE AGENCIES included in Standard Equipment Catalog.
Note: Before attempting service, unplug power cord. For service or examination, all “working parts”
of the steamer are exposed by removing fi rst the cabinet top, then the back. The wiring diagram and
spare cleanout gasket is located on inside of back.
Electric Switch/Thermostat
-
The on-off switch should audibly “click” when operated manually. To determine if electrically
operative, a continuity check should be made.
- The overheat protection fuse is set for a single use and is non-adjustable and should not be
repaired. Replace if defective with a non-adjustable, non-repairable fuse
- The thermostat is adjusted at the factory default setting. It is not recommended to re-adjust the
setting. If found defective it is recommended to replace.
Pump System
The pump system is an electrical vibrator type which is controlled by the main timer. It supplies
power to the solid state (#606) recycle timer. A failure in this circuit may be traced from the main
timer thru the solid state timer. Please note that the “on” time of the solid state timer may be as short
as .1 second and then 10 seconds “off” . See the schematic for test points. If the pump is operating
but not pumping, check that the fi lter mounted on the inlet side of pump is not clogged, if so, remove
and clean. If still not streaming, refer to the “Steam Generator” section of this manual.
Timers
There are three timers in this system.
1. Push-button Automatic Reset - times length of cycle in minutes and supplies power to the solid
state timers. To determine if timer is functioning properly a volt meter or test lamp may be used.
See schematic for test points.
2. Solid State Programmable Recycle #606 - times length of shot (.1 second adjustable) and time
between shots (10 seconds adjustable). To determine if timer is functioning properly, a volt
meter or test lamp may be used. See schematic for test points.
