Amanda,
Im not exactly sure which part of your machine is freezing based on your
description, but, I have a leica 1510 and it has freezing issues. Everyone
I have ever used does this. The bar that hold the specimen chucks ices and
freezes over like crazy.. It will frezze the chuck in the bar holde
It is really just a freezer with a microtome in it. Do you have an on-site
refrigeration guy that could look at it? I have used our in-house guy a time
or two. Ours is pretty simple and does not have all of the electronics that
you may have on the Leica but it is worth a shot.

Amanda,
We have a Microm HM550 cryostat and have used Brian J. Hurley (New England
Biomedical Services). He is an independent service engineer. He's very good.
In fact ThermoFisher uses him if a service visit is needed.
