problems with this bench

Dick:
Here is a list of everything that is not working on
wbdiff. Most of this has been reported via the problem
program in Coral, however, none of this has been fixed.
wbdiff is a major piece of equipment in the lab, even
though it is a lowly wet bench.
1. The timer on the H2O2 hot pot is set to zero; in
order to time the clean step one of the second timers
must be used.
2. The right dump rinser hasn't worked in months.
3. The left dump rinser is on it's way out also. The
controller does not work. The only way you can rinse your
wafers is to use the "Dump door" button, which only works
by repeatedly pushing it until it engages. Previously
there was no spray feature on this rinser; this is still
true. In order to rinse the cassette handles they must be
removed from the cassette and put in the bottom of the
dump rinser.
4. The semi tool spin/rinse/dryer has no set point
programmed in. If used in Auto mode it never stops rinsing
because there is no set point to tell it to stop. People
are using it in manual mode, which is a timed mode.
#2 combined with #3 leads me to belive most people are
not adequately rinsing their wafers. Wafers from this
bench go in the clean tylans and lpcvd tubes. It would be
nice if we knew for sure they were really clean!
5. The temp controller on the HCl hot pot does not seem
to be controlling. The last person who used the bench did
not turn off the heater, the temp RO was 85C, and
climbing, when I arrived. The set point for this hot pot
is 70C. For some strange reason the High Temp setting is
145C.
Could you please fix this bench.
