At the end of the Sterilization Mode
When pressure in the chamber drops to 0.7 psi (5 kPa), the PC board bypasses the motor switch and supplies line voltage to the door motor.
The door motor rotates the cam causing the motor switch to close. Now, the current to the door motor flows thru the motor switch. As the cam rotates, the connector rod causes the latch lever to open the door.
When the cam reaches the bottom of its travel, the motor reverses direction. When the cam reaches its starting position, the motor switch opens, stopping the current flow to the door motor.
To test the door motor
1.Disconnect two wires from door motor.
2.Set meter to 20K Ω
3.Place meter probes on door motor terminals.

230V models: 12,200 Ω +/- 20% |
Perform PC Board Relay Test |
Any reading out of the acceptable range |
