Steam release keeps going off, steam boiler overfilling

Seriously? That's awesome. I will call WLL and order the part tomorrow, and will of course report back. I'm still using the machine, but the venting is really irritating

Steam release keeps going off, steam boiler overfilling

I just wanted to say thanks, I'm trying to get to the point where I can dive into the machine but this whole virus thing is throwing me off. My kids will run off with all the parts before I can get the machine put back together and I don't have a good space to work at home

Steam release keeps going off, steam boiler overfilling

The gauges are new, too, actually. I've replaced quite a lot on this machine, could have purchased a new one with the money I spent on incremental repairs lol. I think the gauges are fine because, with respect to the steam gauge, it goes up when the pressure goes up and appears to show pressure prop...

Steam release keeps going off, steam boiler overfilling

The steam gauge is the only gauge that changes when steam is released. Steam vents as at 1.5ish bar pressure

Steam release keeps going off, steam boiler overfilling

{image} Here is a photo of the pressure gauge on the machine. Temperature and pressure are fine. As a side note, I see zero reason to "upgrade" to a dual boiler and if I replace this thing it will just be for a vanity purchase of something I think looks cool or practical purchase like a GS3

Steam release keeps going off, steam boiler overfilling

Problem is too much steam in the steam boiler. This happens about once per week, more or less. The steam release is happening as designed and I recently changed that part out including the gasket. The machine no longer shorts out because everything is operating as it should. The machine never did bo...

Heating element removal

This could take a really, really frustratingly long time to do right. Just keep soaking and spend days or weeks on getting this part off. And give it a few whacks to loosen it up, every now and then. Anything you can do to remove more scale would help

Steam release keeps going off, steam boiler overfilling

On my ECM Technica Profi IV that I repaired a few months ago, I'm having an issue where the steam boiler is overfilling and then blowing the release valve. It actually works pretty well in getting the steam back down and usually if I toggle the machine on and off or let steam of of the boiler, it's ...

Top 5 Coffee Roasters - 2020

If you buy 10 oz it's generally the same as everybody else. That's a mistake if you want to be frugal. If you buy bulk it's cheaper at $75 per 5 pounds and free shipping. That's hard to beat. Ritual is over $110 for their cheapest variety plus shipping fees for the same amount, and probably the same...
