“Autoclave Repair Made Simple”

If you are experiencing heating problems with you NAPCO 704-8000 Autoclave, the most likely cause is the Heating Element.  No need to call the service company.  You can easily test it, and yes, even fix it yourself

The NAPCO 704-8000 Autoclave Heating Element Test

You will need a volt/ohm meter to perform this test.  It doesn’t have to be anything fancy.  A cheap one will work just fine.  The easiest one to use is one with a digital readout.  (These sell for less than $20.00 at places like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc)

This test consists of measuring the amount of resistance in the Heating Element. To do this, first, turn the NAPCO 704-8000 Autoclave off and unplug it from the wall

WARNING: CURRENT MUST NOT BE PRESENT WHEN MEASURING RESISTANCE.

Set your volt/ohm meter on 200 ohms (200 NOT 200k). The ohms range is located within the Omega (Ω )(look for this symbol) section of your meter. It is also the area with “k” ranges (ie: 2000k,. 200k, 20K and then 2000, 200).

Place a probe from the volt/ohm meter on each terminal where the wire connects to the NAPCO 704-8000 Autoclave Heating Element (it really doesn’t matter which color probe goes where). 

Now look at your readout.  A good NAPCO 704-8000 Autoclave Heating Element will have a resistance range of between 9.26  and 11.30 ohms 

If your reading is outside of this range, then it is defective and needs to be replaced.

Replacing the NAPCO 704-8000 Autoclave Heating Element is not difficult.  And the only tools required are a screwdriver and a couple of standard sized wrenches
