Reaching Temperature
I have a Sterilemax series 1277 that seems to go through the motions but does not reach proper temp. It fills fine and it starts it's cycle but after hitting a high of 100 to 105 C, it starts to end the cycle. I think the water vent valve is failing and not allowing temp or pressure because it seems to have failed to the open. Is this reasonable? is there anyway I can determine if this is the case?
I don't mind ordering the new valve I just wanted to be more certain this is the issue.
Thanks again
