Code No. 17: V3 Valve / HEPA Filter Fault

Problem Description:

The autoclave detected an issue during the decompression phase — likely involving the V3 valve or the HEPA filter.

This fault may result from:

  • A clogged HEPA (bacteriological) filter, restricting airflow
  • A blocked or faulty V3 solenoid valve responsible for decompression
  • In rare cases, a mainboard malfunction causing incorrect sensor interpretation.

Remember! Replace the HEPA filter every 1000 cycles or every 12 months.

 

How to solve it:

Replace the HEPA filter. Remember to reset the HEPA filter counter on the autoclave screen.
