Problem with Cell Washer

We have a problem with a Helmer Ultra CW centrifuge that we discovered yesterday.  When doing a quarterly check, we noted that when doing a "check" after a wash/decant/agitate/fill cycle, the cell button often does not always completely re-suspend.  Anyone know what might be the problem?

Helmer has had us check the settings and all seem as it should be.  This seems to be a random issue as sometimes it works for individual positions and sometimes it doesn't.  At this point, Helmer has not called back with anymore ideas.

 

Thnaks, Scott

      Greiner caps popping off in centrifuge
      By SMILLER
      We are in the process of switching our specimen collection tubes to Greiner Vacutte (previously we used BD).    For some reason, with one of our STAT fuges, the stoppers keep coming off while being spun.  Not all the time but enough to be annoying. 
      The centrifuge in question is a Hitteck EBA200.  The vendor has recommended a certain insert for these Greiner tubes, but they still keep popping off at random.  The stoppers are slightly different from the BD tubes, but we cannot see what is causing this.
      If anyone has any ideas for fixing this they would be appreciated.  We are trying to see if Greiner has any ideas.

      Helmer paper recordings
      By amym1586
      I have 2 Helmer refrigerators, a freezer and a platelet incubator all using paper charts/ changing every 7 days.
      My paper charts in the refrigerator finish a full hour or more ahead of the other 2 even after getting changed at almost the exact same time the platelet chart rotator being the most accurate.
      Batteries look fine on the screens.
       
      Any ideas?
