Error column oven too slow response Scion GC

[mariasol]

Hi all,
Our Scion 436-GC is having problems stabilizing column oven temperature, and the error 109 "column oven too slow response" is showed.
Anyone can help me with these problem?
Thanks a lot!

I don't know your instrument but when I've had this sort of thing happen on my Agilent systems, it usually means the flapper motor has failed. There's likely a flap of some sort in the back that keeps the hot air in or lets it out. It's not a difficult repair on a 5890/6890.

It could be an electronic, electrical or mechanical problem. Unless you have lots of time to spend troubleshooting it is probably worth asking a service engineer to call.

Thanks for your answers. I think it is the column oven temperature probe that is damage. I'll change it and tell you if we solve the problem.

Hi, I would like to know if changing the column oven temperature probe solved the problem.
Thanks!
