Understanding the error codes that may arise while using any autoclave is crucial for ensuring its optimal performance and reliability. So in this article, we will delve into some of the various error codes of the W&H Lexa Mini. Specifically, we’ll be going over Error Codes 205-215. These are not the error codes that we’ve previously shown in our original article here. These is an updated version of W&H’s official troubleshooting manual with new types of error codes. So in this article, we’ll go over the details of what each code means, as well as actions you can take to troubleshoot them.
We have a video on our YouTube channel covering these error codes for a more visual approach here. And if you have any questions about these error codes, the W&H Lexa Mini or anything else, please give us a call at 704-966-1650 Option 3 for our Free Tech Support Line.
