Resolution
Troubleshooting Tips:
No Power
- Ensure all switches are in the ON position (“I”) on the rear of the unit.
- Try cycling the Chromatography Manual Reset Switch and Chromatography Power Inlet Switch to OFF (“O”) then ON (“I”).
- Ensure GFCI Breaker (if applicable) is not tripped inside of unit.
Sensor Tripped
- If chemicals were stored in refrigerator in an unsealed container that could have set off the safety sensor (ethanol or alcohol based).
- Leave the doors open for approximately 5 minutes to allow any vapors to exit the refrigerator and cycle the Chromatography Manual Reset Switch.
