	* The Peltier element may become weak which leads to improper dehydration (e.g. going down to only 30%). To validate proper cooling, open the device (caution: 120V inside, also on the PCB) and measure the voltage of the temperature sensor between the black (BL) and white (WH) wires<br>[[File:Screen Shot 2023-07-08 at 12.18.30 AM.png\|400x400px]]<br>The voltage must be lower than 0.6 volts (0C / 32F) in the cooling cycle. If above 0.6V, please contact customer support. The temp sensor provides 10mV/C + 0.6V, so 0.3V = -30C/-22F, 1.6V = 100C / 212F.		* The Peltier element may become weak which leads to improper dehydration (e.g. going down to only 30%).

	* The general issue with Peltier elements is that they don't like being reversed often. Normal Peltier elements only survive 3,000 cycles. At several cycles an hour and 24/7 engine drying that is only a few months. The manufacturer of the Black Max is currently evaluating a premium Peltier element that doesn't have this issue.		* The general issue with Peltier elements is that they don't like being reversed often.
