FV-310 When you see a sign of failure

The heating element may have broken. Confirm the resistance value of the heating element.

The heating element deteriorates over time and gets breakage.
Confirm the resistance value of the heating element if only cold air comes out even the motor is turning.
Procedure of measuring the resistance value of the heating element.

【How to handle】

If the measured resistance value is not within the normal range, the heating element is broken. Replace it with a new one.
Please refer to the procedure of replacing the heating element.
Procedure of replacing the heating element.

If the measured resistance value is within the normal range, the PWB or other components may have broken. And, it is necessary to be repaired.
For the repair, please contact the store of purchase or the Hakko official distributor.

Procedure of measuring the resistance value of the heating element.

Check with the video.

Measure the value between (a) and (b) with the resistance meter (digital multimeter).

The normal values are as follows.

(a)

13Ω±10% (100-110V)
56Ω±10% (220V)
62Ω±10% (230V)
70Ω±10% (240V)

(b)

115Ω±10% (100-110V)
300Ω±10% (220-240V)

The tools required

• Resistance meter (Digital multimeter)
• #2 (shaft length: 150mm) Phillips-head screwdriver

Make sure to set the slide switch to "0" (OFF) and unplug before taking out the heating element for safety.

The pipe and the heating element are so hot immediately after use. Make sure applying cool down enough before removing.

Refer to the information for cooling down.
How to keep using the FV-310 for a long time (Point 1. Cooling down)

Burnout of heating element, motor trouble, or disconnection of the power cord is suspected.
Check the resistance value of the heater terminal (b).

The heating element and the motor deteriorate over time.
If the motor does not work and the heating element cannot get hot, set the slide switch to "0" (OFF) immediately and check the resistant value at the heater terminal (b) of the heating element.
