Shaun1 - still waiting for info from the manufacturer on what the damn thing does during boot up, it's just a black screen with software revision printed across the centre, what it's doing in the background I have no idea.
Brown splashes are par for the course inside these machines, I take it...
Considering it's sole job is to make 60ml of espresso in each go its almost ridiculous right!
Note on the pic of the pcb there's a 4pin header labelled 'WiFi
Mental!
Only made it into the workshop for half an hour today but made getting a few snaps of it a priority.
Didn't manage to get snaps of the elements in the coffee boilers as they take a hell of a lot of disassembly to get too but I got the boards, filter, transformer, steam element, one of the...
I've been out all day on call outs so haven't had chance to get any ratings off of the machine but should have a hour free in the morning.
Regarding your suggestions,
1a. I've suggested moving the coffee machine mcb from the left rccb to the right several weeks ago when I thought it could be a...
Lucian nunes - coffee we've got, by the tonne! Not sure when I'll be passing through London next though but if I do I'll throw the machine in the van!
Marconi - don't have all the answers to hand now but if I get a chance tomorrow I'll get the panels off the machine and note down element...
If you want learn more you can come to the workshop and see the machine in person, just bring all your test equipment, I'll even make you a few coffees :tearsofjoy:
The 26A falls within what the machine spec documents. Funny thing with the coffee industry is dataplates on the equipment always tend to have a generous margin of error, a machine badged up at 6kw may only work out on paper too say 5.2kw at full whack however the spec sheet for this machine...
Marconi - I really like that idea, it's brilliant to be fair.
A lot of other manufacturers use a similar method themselves factory standard, the pcb / motor have inline waterproof glass fuse holders. I'm a bit embarrassed the idea has never come to me myself in the past!
I've measured peak...
Yeah I think that's what I'll suggest.
Admittedly I do agree it sounds like a fault with the machine and if I was an impartial observer I would side with him and say it must be the machine too based on the evidence he's provided.
I've spent a month off and on pulling the machine apart, have...
