Another interesting fault diagnosis completed by Wishart Group Service Engineer, Fernando Perez ๐จโ๐งโ๏ธ
Fernando attended site to investigate an OHAUS Corporation Frontier FC5714 (known locally as Mr Spinner ๐
) at Kingsbridge Healthcare Group displaying Error 40 and making unusual noises during operation โ ๏ธ
The first steps involved removing and inspecting the rotor for any visible or hairline cracks, along with checking the sensor system to rule out mechanical or detection faults ๐
After disassembling the centrifuge for a deeper inspection, the cause of the issue quickly became clearโฆ a pen had somehow found its way inside the machine ๐๏ธ๐
The customer mentioned the centrifuge had made a loud noise before the error appeared โ mystery solved!
With the obstruction removed, Fernando recalibrated the centrifuge, carried out operational testing, and returned the unit back to normal working condition โ
Sometimes the smallest objects can cause the biggest problems ๐
Great troubleshooting work from Fernando once again!
