[Histonet] Any problems with Bond Max Heater Assembly (SSA)
Has anyone had any problems with the Leica Bond Max's Heater assembly. We have 2 Bonds that are less than 2 years old and one of the heater assembles went. That is 10 less slides that we have to work with.

We have a Bond III that's about a year old. I'm also interested in the answer. What does Leica say is the normal replacement period for this item? Is it covered under your service contract? -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu]On Behalf Of Settembre, Dana Sent: Friday, January 28, 2011 10:13 AM To: 'Feher, Stephen'; Nancy Schmitt; histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Cc: Delia, Catherine Subject: [Histonet] Any problems with Bond Max Heater Assembly (SSA) Importance: High Has anyone had any problems with the Leica Bond Max's Heater assembly.

RE: [Histonet] Any problems with Bond Max Heater Assembly (SSA)
Hi Folks, Someone from Leica should answer this question for you (Sara, are you listening in?), but I have a Bondmax and from time-to-time one of the heating pads will burnout. The other 9 positions continue to work. It used to be that the whole assembly was automatically replaced but now they manufacture them in such a way that an individual heater pad can be replaced. If you have a service contract this work will be covered. I think one or two heating pad errors per year could be expected - at least that has been my experience, but as I said, it doesn't slow us down much because the other 9 positions remain functional.

Hi, I see this issue from time to time. One thing to note, does the same heater stay out or do they jump around? If they jump around, this is probably due to an issue with the power for the instrument. Make sure all your line conditioners and battery backups are performing properly and this will fix it. If the same heater is going out, the heater is definitely bad and should be replaced. We have had a couple go out and it is a relatively easy fix, even though it can be a bit of a bother until they get replaced. Good luck!
