Elektra Semiautomatica - boiler not turning off

Postby urbanmania on Sun Feb 08, 2009 11:21 am

Hi

I've got an Elektra Semiautomatica that I've had for 2 years now and it's served me well. Yesterday however the boiler refused to turn off so the pressure just kept rising and the security valve started letting off steam. I've emptied the boiler, had a little peek around the insides of the base and didn't see anything wrong. Any ideas what might cause this and how to fix and if necessary, where to order spare parts?

Cheers

Joe

Thanks for this, I was missing the key word when searching for answers, namely "pressurestat" :) I'll have a dig around for one of those and then I should be back in business!
