Anomaly: Intermittent stoppage of the compressor.
CAUSE
Insufficient refrigeration of the condenser
component.
Anomaly: The compressor stops after alternative stoppages.
CAUSE
The thermal protector of the motor of the
compressor is disconnected.
13.3. FREEZE-DRYER KIT
Anomaly: Working vacuum cannot be reached.
CAUSE

SOLUTION
Place the freeze-dryer in an area with better ventilation.
Check that the temperature in the room is lower than 25ºC.
Clean the area formed by the condenser component with
compressed air and a paintbrush.
Check that there is a suitable circulation of the forced air in
the fan.
SOLUTION
The same solutions of the previous anomaly.
Wait about 30 minutes to cool down the motor and
unblock the protector, allowing again its operation.
SOLUTION
Check that the unit is watertight.
Lubricate the watertight joints with silicone.
Check that all the manifold keys are closed.
Check that the condenser discharge valve is closed.
Check there is no defrosting water of the condenser
remaining from the last operation in the discharge tube.
SOLUTION
Replace the gauge.
