My Scott Laminator Isnt Heating Up

Most of the time laminator problems are due to the operator making mistakes like feeding the pouches too quickly or forcefully or not waiting for the machine to heat up adequately before laminating.

My scott laminator isnt heating up. I am not 100 sure if seal uses a glass or solid heating rod in this model but in most of their units its a solid rod and the above should work. First unplug the device. With the pouch release lever held down try gently pulling the pouch back out of the laminator. My laminator got jammed and i took the back off and managed to get it out when i put it back together and turned it on the rollers are working and the lights are working but the laminator is not heating up how can i fix it as it is not mine and i have borrowed it of my sister she s gona kill me lol inka june 2009.

Do not pull the pouch through the machine. Machine not heating up check power to machine as above. Two buttons are located on the right hand side of the laminator one for changing the heat setting and one for turning the device on or off. If this doesn t work please call the 3m laminating help line at 1 800 772 4337 or contact us online.

The laminator includes a jam release lever located on the left hand side of the device s body. Never took apart a base unit yet but in most that have a metal heating rod you can remove the wires at each end of the roller and then easily pull the rod out and check continuity from end to end. The tl901 model has a dull silver or grey body with vertical ridges across its body and a black loading tray.
