What should technicians frequently check to prevent overheating issues in electric elements?

To prevent overheating issues in electric elements, technicians should frequently check water levels in the tank. Electric steam equipment relies on water to generate steam; when the water level is too low, there is a risk of the heating elements being exposed and overheating. This can lead to damage not only of the heating elements but also of other system components, potentially resulting in costly repairs and safety hazards.

Regular monitoring of water levels ensures that the heating elements are submerged and operating within safe temperature ranges. This practice is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of the equipment, as well as for ensuring safe operation. When there is sufficient water in the tank, the system can operate effectively, producing steam as intended without the risk of overheating the elements.
