My B2 is between 3 and 3 and a half years old. Its worked fine until recently when it started going through water rapidly and then ironically on the very day I was going to dig in and see why it finally started hissing loudly constantly. I assumed it was the VRV (and in fact after I removed it for cleaning and replaced it, I could see that it did leak out the top even after boiling started.
So I ordered a new VRV from WLL. It came this week, but I was not able to look at it until tonight. After replacing the VRV it no longer leaks out the top, but there is still a constant hissing noise. I can see nothing to point to where it is, but there is actually a jet of headed air/steam coming from what appears to be the connector for the coiled copper tube that feeds the pressure gauge. Is that something I can/should tighten to resolve this hiss? Also when I went to remove the old VRV today I did notice that the entire assembly out the top of the boiler had some play. This play seems to be on the hexagonal collar directly attached to the boiler (not the T connector that feeds the VRV and steam wand. To make it tight actually points the T toward the back enough to cause the steam wand tubing to protrude beyond where the back cover of the machine would be. I have it snug now, but it will have to be loosened some to get the back cover on it again. How can I resolve this or is it ok to loosen that enough to put the back on it again? Anyone have any suggestions? J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
