Hello,

I've searched the forums here for years, but finally decided to join so I can post a question. I have a Breville Dual Boiler 920 that I've been working on for months now. I had a leaking steam wand ball valve, finally got a replacement part, and got that issue resolved. After replacing that part and replacing some o-rings in areas that were leaking, I got everything put back together, and ... steam boiler won't heat (dreaded 3 beeps when flipping the lever).

I've tried:

• Doing the hardness reset
• Descale
• Descale with a heated boiler
• Checking the probes for calcification
• Opening the drain valves and letting it sit overnight

I ordered a volt meter, and am going to try and see if I can find a connection that isn't giving power, but won't have that until Monday. I thought I'd check with this group and see if anybody has any other thoughts about what my issue might be.

I know that the boiler is getting filled, and the espresso is still delightful. I just need this steam wand to work!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Maybe a bad thermistor or thermocouple. Don't recall which the BDB uses. On other espresso machines.... that would be the first thing I would check.

I had the 3 beep issue after about 1.5 years with my 920 and after in the end I had to send the unit back to Breville for servicing :-/ I'm sure you are trying hard to avoid that so hopefully can find the fix yourself. Good luck!

Yes, I'm trying to avoid that! I will update if I fix it!
