Understanding the Issue:
A loose temperature sensor at the bottom of your DigiBoil can cause wax to seep out from both the bottom and the vents. This is because the sensor is responsible for regulating the heating element, and when it's loose, it can disrupt the heating process, leading to uneven melting and potential leakage.
Steps to Resolve the Issue:
- Safety First: Before attempting any repairs, ensure the DigiBoil is unplugged and cooled completely.
- Locate the Temperature Sensor: The sensor is usually located at the base of the wax tank. It might look like a small metal probe.
- Secure the Sensor:
- Tighten with a Wrench: If the sensor is threaded, use a suitable wrench or pliers to tighten it securely.
- Replace the Sensor: If tightening doesn't resolve the issue or the sensor is damaged, you may need to replace it. Consult your DigiBoil's manual or contact the manufacturer for a replacement part.
- Clean the Area: After securing or replacing the sensor, clean any spilled wax from the base of the DigiBoil and surrounding area.
- Test the DigiBoil: Plug the DigiBoil back in and monitor it for any further leakage. If the issue persists, you may need to consult a professional technician.
Additional Tips:
- Avoid Overfilling: Overfilling the DigiBoil can increase the risk of wax leakage, especially if the temperature sensor is loose.
- Check for Damage: Inspect the DigiBoil for any other signs of damage, such as cracks or burns, which could contribute to leakage.
