i own a B1 w the factory pid upgrade and rotary pump/main line feed.
last week i arose to brew my morning coffee to see my pid was also
reading 245 or so. i could barely operate the brew lever the water was
so hot. my machine is on a timer, and works flawlessly every morn. my
steam boiler was not over pressured, tho. i think after flushing down
the temp somewhat, i left the machine off to completely cool down.
later on, the thing worked okay, and has since then. BUT, what is going
on, TODD? -Dennis

" Hello,
This morning I was woken to a frightful bang as my Expobar IV tank
over-pressured. I came down stairs to it venting. All the cups on the
top of the machine had been blown off so I imagine the tank ruptured.
It was leaking water everywhere, had a strong smell of burning and
showed a pressure of over 2 bars on the boiler (upper gauge, and it
had been venting a few minutes). Should be noted steam in the gauge. I
shut it down, opened the hot water tap to relieve pressure. After
doing so I turned it back on noted that the PID showed a temperature
of 245 F (I keep it at 202 F) and it started to leak as soon as the
pump began to fill the tank.
I figure as the machine is new I am best not even opening it and start
poking around, and messing with the warranty. I do have the original
box as stated in your red carpet warranty.
Awaiting your response as to how we may deal with this clearly
defective machine. A real shock as I have woken to expecting a perfect
cup of espresso every morning now.
All the best
John. "
