Re: Heat Press Repair Help Please Buy a infared thermometer and check the temps. Heat presses will scorch the garmet but after a couple minutes it will come back to its original color.

Re: Heat Press Repair Help Please Our thermostat went out on our press a few years back. The temp just started to skyrocket, without us being able to control it. We have a hotronix auto swinger, bit it sounds like the same issue. Call tech support. That's what we did and they immediately diagnosed it.

Re: Heat Press Repair Help Please Red garments are especially bad about discoloration, but should return to normal after cooling.

Re: Heat Press Repair Help Please Heat master is the manufacturer, even if i had a scematic it would help, I'm still betting on a thermostat, when it starts to overheat it blows the fuse in the house also, which is only ten amps but still its gotta be something simple, I don't think I need to dump 40 bucks into a ir thermometer when it may only need a 25 dollar, thermostat replacement, if it heats up still which it does, it has to be something simple with the overheating issue, I would like to believe anyways, lol
