HIGH TEMP – This message is displayed, the Cycle Fail indicator lights and the cycle
is aborted if the temperature rises 9 0F (5 0C) above the required
sterilization temperature during the Sterilization phase of the
cycle.
This message will also be displayed if the Temperature Sensor is
damaged. In this case the message will appear just before the Heat
phase starts
Possible causes for this message are:
a. The Heating Elements are remaining on instead of cycling on
and off.
Check for a shorted Solid State Relay, shorted Heating
Element or other short circuit
b. This message can ALSO indicate a bad Temperature Sensor– the message will display any time during the Heat Up
phase.

Replacing these parts is something you can do

As above, please let me know when the fail messages are appearing

You can try cleaning the valve components to make it last until you get your repair kits in.

Remove all of the water from the reservoir and lay the unit on it’s side. On the bottom towards the front of the chamber you will notice a cut out in the base plate.

Inside the cut out is 2 large brass caps (about an inch in diameter) with slots in them (like a screw). One of these is the “fill” valve and the other is the “vent” valve. It doesn’t really matter which is which, what you do to one…… you must do to the other.

So, remove both caps with a screwdriver by turning them in a counter-clockwise direction. Then remove the components inside the block (the block they screw into is called the “Main Valve Body”

Clean them in an ultrasonic cleaner or rinse them under the faucet. Clean out the openings in the block, making sure not to leave any residue or debirs. And then reassemble/install and try a cycle

There could be several possibilities.

The first thing you need to do is to pinpoint the leak on your Midmark M7 autoclave.

Remove the cabinet and set it aside. Run a cycle and the leak should become obvious. (Be careful not to touch anything. You are merely observing) Use caution, the autoclave gets very hot and there will be live steam leaking…keep your face and hands away from the unit

Once we know where the leak is, we will know what to do to correct it.

Please post what you find here so others can benefit from your experience

By the way, be sure to download the free Midmark M7 Factory Service Manual for your autoclave from http://www.AllClaveParts.com if you haven’t done so already.

It’s the real thing

It turns on, heats up and seems to work great until several minutes into the cycle, steam comes out the back of the unit through the vents and a little water, (Im assuming condensation from the steam) gathers around the back side base of the unit…..when I then vent the unit, it vents in no time as most of the steam has escaped the vessel….Where could the steam be leaking from and is this repairable?

Please help!!

Yes, the Tuttnauer 2340 coils do become pitted and get pinholes in them over time. I am glad you found it! Rplacing it now will save you from a lot of problems down the line.

Please let me know if the coil takes care of eliminating the green residue p.
