So the problem is it keeps heating. Time to work on the next problem. Make sure P0 is set to 1. P7 is set to 0 and the set temperature is quite low, 60 and then see what happens. If you didn't add white thermal grease, available at Frys or any decent computer or electronics store that might be the problem. The lack of white goo can cause the sensor to lag far behind allowing the boiler to overheat and when the sensor reads 110 degrees you get E1. With it set to 60 maybe it will cycle between 60 and 80 or 90 and we'll know that's the problem. When you're watching the display, does the little red light go out when expected and do you hear a soft click at that exact moment? Where do the wires connected to terminals 6, 7, 8 and 9 go? List each number individually with it's destination. Should look like: 6 should go all the way to one side of the power switch, might travel through some connectors or shared terminals White with a blue stripe 7 should go all the way to the other side of the power switch, might travel through some connectors or shared terminals White 8 Should go to the thermoswitch on top of the brew boiler White 9 Should go to the pressurestat If it still continues to heat past 80, disconnect the wire from terminal 9 and tie it out of the way, Remember it's electrically hot so no touching it or touching it to anything. Put a piece of rubber tubing, a soda straw or a wire nut over it for protection. Now plug the machine in and turn it on, what happens?
