Hardware:Thermo Trace1310 turns off 1 hour into conditioning
Posted: Thu Mar 10, 2022 9:13 pm
About a month ago a periodic grinding sound was heard from somewhere in the chassis (not in the oven) of our GC. it sounded like a bearing was dying, but only occurred for about 5 seconds at a time around twice a minute.
After a few days this noise stopped occurring.
Since then when we condition our columns (once a week we change methods and columns) after 1 hour of conditioning (250 or 270 degrees centigrade) the GC does a hard shut-down.
I'm not certain it has anything to do with the noise we heard, but the timing is suspicious.
Has anyone else experienced a problem like this?
