hey there!

my ordinary Aeolus 850 rework station (made in china) is malfunctioning.

recently, it always turns the air flow off itself after just over a minute everytime i'm using it.

can anyone have some insight on the matter?

are there available parts for these?

Thermal cut off???

i don't know if that's the term for it - thermal cutoff.

what's always happening is that when i switch it on the air flow is good. the heat is turning on and off. after just over a minute or so the air flow turns off and doesn't turn on again.

i think it happens when the filament is already hot.

any insight?

hi,

there is a thermal inside the filament, you can try to move it bit away from the filament perhaps 1 cm and if still doesnt work then the thermal is damaged and you might need to replace the filament or just the thermal ( i dont know if i they selling the thermal only ).

when the filament is cutoff the led on heater will blink fast.


hope this can help
