3KW Steam Generator - Timer Bypass Options?
    #26862965 - 08/04/20 04:21 PM (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have recently purchased a 3KW Sauna Steam Generator that is wired for 110V.

I plugged it in and it turns on fine, the temp control goes to 60 degrees which I plan to keep the thermostat at room temp for the duration of the steam.

However, there is one issue... the timer makes the unit go out after 1 hour. I know some people have found a fix for this. Could you please help me get there?

I have read somewhere on here that the 555 timer can be removed from the circuit board.. will this not break the connection and render the device inoperable?

I am hoping to run my first test batches of grain spawn in the next week.

Is there any way to bypass this switch, that could be explained to someone with little knowledge of circuit boards?

Here are the pics of my unit..

3KW - 110V











Any advice or help would be MUSH appreciated!

Thanks to all of you who have been posting here over the years to help me get to where I am today!

Take care!

Wait what? Is this going in your grow room or a tent? I'm guessing by 60° you mean celcius?

I should rephrase, this is a steam sterilizer for substrates. It will pump steam into an insulated chamber stacked with grain bags.

I'm also an electrical noob, but it doesn't look like there is a timer in the schematic, and i don't see anything that looks like a timer on the circuit board. Are you positive there is one one your model? Could be a mechanical timer on the board that i'm not familiar with.

You may have better luck in the gourmet forum where things like this are a little more common place. Having said that it's much easier to build one, just for future reference.

Wouldn't this only good for pasteurizing?

No, you could use it for atmospheric sterilization.
