I just inherited a broken Rocket Cellini espresso machine (and have no idea how to use it or do anything haha). It was tripping the GFCI so I found that I needed to replace the heating element. I got a replacement one, and after some percussive maintenance, managed to knock the...
This is my first time trying to repair an espresso machine. It is an elektra modern maxi group 2 from 2002. I was able to make enough repairs to get it to this point but reached my first roadblock.
