Guys

I need help.

My Bezzera stopped heating.

Power works.
The heating indicator light is on
Thermal fuse works
Heating Element works (measured with Ohm meter)

Water level works


I am confused! These are pretty simple circuits. I always thought if there is voltage on the heating element it should heat .

What am I missing ??

Pressure stat ? If it thinks it is HOT, the contact will not close

Either Element has gone HIGH or the relay is not switching to the Element ?

1 - Disconnect machine from power.
2 - Remove both leads from heating element.
3 - Using low ohm function on meter, measure between the two heating element terminals. If you get something around ten to twenty ohms or thereabouts (a guess) go to 4. If not, go to 5.
4 - Measure between one heating element terminal and the metal element base plate, and then repeat with the other terminal. Should be ∞ ohms (no continuity) in either test.
5 - As Stefano stated, I think you will find that the element measures ∞ ohms (no conduction of electricity) and needs to be replaced.

0 ohms is a short circuit;
I think you mean ∞ ohms, which is an open circuit.

Good thing SOMEONE knows what I mean! I have edited it... THANKS!

Hey Greq, what's the outcome? Any measured voltage flowing through the heating element wire leads? Measured resistance values of the heating element?
