Re: [Histonet] Leica embedding station
Hi Lauren, Further to Tony's response...there are also thermal fuses that shut the power off to a drawer if the power (or temp IDK which) as a safety feature. So quite often we find one warming drawer or the other can be reset by powering the unit down for a couple of hours. It normally works fine after that...but not always. When powering down doesn't fix it we call biomed engineers to come with their volt meters and spare fuses to fix it. We have also had heating elements "die" and in that case the whole drawer must be replaced because the element is affixed to the bottom of the drawer.

Re: [Histonet] Leica embedding station
Hi Lauren, I have the same model and had a similar issue but my heating plate only went to like 30 Celsius. There are about 12 different fuses on the inside once you take it apart, you have to take all the screws out on the back and then life the whole top section off. There is one fuse for voltage regulation that went out on mine, I replaced that and it started working again. If you have a voltmeter you can check all the fuses, if there is no resistance then the fuse is bad. Goodluck!

[Histonet] Leica embedding station
Hello all in Histoland! We have a Leica EG 1150 H purchased in 2002 and we are starting to have issues with it not heating in the cassette and mold warmers as hot as it used to. The settings are all the way up to the max (70) but when I measured the actual temps it is in the low 50's. Has anyone else had this issue and if so would you mind sharing how you dealt with it? Thanks, Lauren ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
