Dear espresso experts,
Thanks for a great site, with lots of information and inspiration.

I have a ten year old Elektra micro casa (gift from my wife on our wedding day).
It has stopped heating. It turns on alright, but never gets warm.
I started checking the wires and unplugged a few.
Now I can't get it back in the right places.

Is ten years perhaps over the top (for the machine, I mean)?

Is it time to find a new one (again the machine - I will keep the wife).

Any advice, please?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Martin

Maybe the safety thermostat tripped. Try pressing the tiny white button:

An Elektra will essentially last forever with a little maintenance and an occasional replacement of the pressure stat. If you could post a picture of what you have, people could be more helpful.
