Hi all

I ask questions in Korea

The temperature sensor of my coffee machine broke a few days ago.

I want to replace it with an izzo part, but I can't buy it.

I have to replace it with a part in Korea.

Tell me the sensor size 3/8 or 1/4 inch

Sorry google translate

Might help to know which temp sensor you're referring to. Got a picture? Please post one.

I understand you're in Korea, so you don't want to order from the US, but this link has a photo of the probe. Sadly (for you), I just discarded an old defective probe and can't measure it, but I recall it being kind of fat, so I would say I'm pretty sure it's 3/8".

Are you seeing A2 error on your PID?

You might also try shopping in the UK for the part. Many vendors will ship via DHL so you might inquire with the vendor via email.

Here's a part at Bella Barista...

Why don't you try pulling the probe and cleaning it then? You can use a heavy duty nylon scrub pad (such as the green scotchbrite one) or some 600 grit sandpaper...or even a dremel tool with a polishing pad and fine abrasive.

I believe the part that you've identified is not a temperature probe at all but a threaded screw that has 2-nuts and is threaded into the Brew Boiler heating element and is attached to the bottom boiler cover plate of the Izzo Alex Duetto IV espresso machine.

Furthermore, it looks like pt # FE863 Threaded Rod M4
