My unit doesn't get cold enough. Set to max for a few days, still reads 45 degrees. Any suggestions? I've seen forums that describe adjusting a screw.

I am having the same problem! I have adjusted the screw and still no luck. I am at the point of getting rid of it and buying a new one. Very disappointing, especially considering how expensive they are. Wish I could be more help

When I originally put mine back together, I assembled it incorrectly - limiting my hot water. I went back and realigned the gears on the temperature selector so that it would give me the entire range of temps.

In addition to the other suggestions, stand the unit upright in a climate controlled environment (72F+) for about an hour. This will address cold weather and over priming/choke related issues.

I have used it only once and I had the same problem. I think you have to lock the temperature and I guess I did not do it. Try locking the temperature

I am sorry I do not know. I have installed mine but I have not had any experience with temperature yet.

According to the Troubleshooting section of the instruction manual, the unit will not operate satisfactorily if the temperature is below 41º F. I would imagine that all higher temps are okay unless the unit overheats in extreme temperatures, but that was not mentioned. I hope this helps. Rx

I'm having the same problem & haven't been able to adjust it as yet. Brand new unit. Not happy.

I haven't checked mine, but it's nowhere close to 140-150F; it's more in the 200F Range. Something is definitely wrong with your Machine.Did you descale it regularly? Maybe that's something to look at.

Did you try and replace the heating element with the spare one that comes with the set? At 217 degrees, that's not even close to melting solder. I know my station has to be set about 100 degrees higher than where I normally would set it, which tells me that the thermostat isn't very accurate, but other than that I've used mine to build hundreds of circuit boards at home and actually prefer my solder station over the ones I use at work. If the 2nd heating element doesn't work, I would contact the seller.

I dont know, it didnt get above 32 here. However I dont see how it would, it seems to be a constant heat source. Mine just couldnt handle the cold apparently, it froze through the first night.

Read precautions by DeVilbiss, they state that discharge temp could affect unit if temps are too high. To remedy this I ran a 20' loop of 3/4" hard piping up the wall and then installed DeVilbiss unit in line. No problems experienced!

Mine is doing the same thing. It states the max temp is 190, so setting it at the max should be safe and it operate normally. Has anyone else set there's at the max and it works fine? thanks

put lock tight on the screws and let dry per directions, mine have not been loose since. you have to put it on correctly or it will not work.

38 degree is not too cold. After checking the obvious (timer and battery), I would double check your connection inside the hopper. I use a thin zip tie to hold my connection inside the hopper to ensure that connestion doesn't come apart. I've had that problem with the connection coming apart inside the hopper on my first one.

I have not experienced that problem with mine. I did not have to assemble the unit, so I am not sure what screw you are speaking off. I am sorry I cannot be more helpful.

I found this to be about 12 degrees on the unit I had. I stopped using it, because the company told me there was no way to adjust it.
