Sundome Burning?

Island girl · 05-21-2007, 07:47 PM

This morning after about 4 clients used my sundome, I started to smell burning rubber coming from the room. The client that was in there, came out not really freaked, but just said the bed smelled weird. Well, I tried all day to get a tech from ETS to call me back so I could maybe find out something, but they never called. The bed sat all afternoon and then there was no smell. Tonight, after about 6 clients and it was getting pretty hot, the burning rubber smell came back. Anybody have any ideas as to what is causing this?

Perhaps you could open it up and look for smoke...

I was going to suggest looking in the ballast compartment.

probably a wire nut melting check all connections of power to the booth, buck booster, etc. you should not use wire nuts, use split bolts.

Where ya been? It's been boring around here today...

In all seriousness though IslandGirl, you've probably got a wire(s) that is burning up - more than likely one of the wires on the main contactor or on a facial cassette (if that unit has facials).

Would that produce smoke?
