Hello all, Well, it finally happened to me. Came home from the station yesterday, and found my B2 (about 3.5 years old) was cold, and that whole circuit in the house was dead. Found the tripped breaker on my panel, reset, and it immediately retripped. Tried it again just in case... :)
Quickly isolated it to the B2, when I unplugged it the circuit reset just fine. I could smell electrical at the front/top/left of the B2, and sure enough, the top wires to the on/off switch are brownish and hard. Pulled the switch this morning, and it smells a bit like electrical, but still moves fine and is not melted. I have glanced through the old posts on the topic, but don't know whether we reached a consensus on the topic or not? Replace with a high-amp switch from the hardware store? Or did WLL get a good replacement that is rated for the load? If I use a generic switch, do I just need one that is 15A+, or do I need 20A? It's been a rough month on my espresso consumption...OPV, steam wand, switch...good thing I have some Irish breakfast around.
