How To Test the Midmark Temperature Sensor


Service Tip: Residue can build up on the Temperature Sensor Probe causing inaccurate temperature readings. Clean the probe with an abrasive pad (dark color scotch-brite pad). Then try another cycle. If the autoclave still does not work properly, move on to the testing as follows

Temperature Sensor Test


Step 1: Disconnect temperature sensor harness from J12 on PC board.
Step 2: Place meter probes on red and white wires. [Set meter to 2K ohms Ω]

Acceptable Range is 1.07 to 1.1 ohms Ω
