Squeaky GS-FLX

[bbeitzel]

Has anyone encountered a squeaky GS-FLX before? We had a PM done a couple of weeks ago, and most (if not all) of the tubing was replaced. We did a maintenance wash about a week after with no problems. Recently, however, we tried another maintenance wash, and had a strange squeaking noise coming from the machine just to the left of the fluidics deck. It sounds to me like there is a peristaltic pump that might be squeaking against some new tubing, but I thought I'd see if anyone else had encountered the same thing.

We are a little leary about trying a sequencing run in case there is something wrong with the fluidics. Unfortunately, due to workplace bureaucracy we won't be able to have a service tech come check it for several weeks (best case estimate.)

Thanks for any info/comments.
