Even the best temperature dry well calibrators can develop issues. This troubleshooting guide addresses frequent problems:
Inconsistent Readings: Check for loose heating elements or worn thermocouple probes; recalibrate the dry well itself if drift exceeds specs.
Failure to Reach Set Temperature: Inspect for blocked air vents (overheating can trigger safety shutoffs) or a faulty heater relay.
Poor Uniformity: Clean the well cavity—debris or oxidation can create hot spots. Replace worn inserts for a tight sensor fit.
Controller Errors: Reset the unit or update firmware; persistent issues may require manufacturer service. With step-by-step fixes and preventive maintenance tips, technicians can minimize downtime and keep calibrations on track.
