Re: Machine slowly losing brew temp

[Graeme Burton]

What a lot of garbage. The expobar is not made of proprietary parts uniquely designed and manufactured by expobar with the exception of the boilers, body work etc. I have worked as a service tech on all those machines and there is simply nothing fundamentally wrong with expobar. A pstat in an expobar will fail just like a pstat in any machine. The post smacks of desperation to become relevant.  Graeme From: Dave B Sent: Friday, 1 April 2016 02:55 To: brewtus@googlegroups.com Reply To: brewtus@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Machine slowly losing brew temp DO YOU Ben, work on espresso machines,  40 hour week, for over ten years?  Machines like:  Bezzera, Pasquini, La Cimbali, vibiemme, Bravo, Nuova, LM, Quick Mill, Rancilio, Saeco, Gaggia, Isomac, the list goes on.  . . .  Thousands of machines, thousands of contented customers.  Please DO enumerate YOUR experience level, Mr. McCafferty. And please try to discontinue the tiresome "harassment" and "get a life" foolishness.  It is boring and only reflects poorly on you and 'herman'. Machines that are well cared for with soft water and a monthly cleaning do NOT need work every 2 years.   REALITY CHECK:  Having repaired dozens of Expobars, we find them to be more trouble-prone than others.  (BTW, We have personally measured samples of expo heaters to be 8-10 ohms, with a calibrated Fluke 87-4) feel free to call us, 213 800 3286  10-5 M-F for advice, support  or just to say hi!

Resistance should be 13-17 ohms, not 8-10.  And testing high limit for continuity is the same as open or closed, Dave.  Go back under your bridge Dave--your ongoing harassment of this group is still not welcome, nor your false belief that other machines never need repair.  bmc Sent from my iPhone On Mar 8, 2016, at 10:27, Dave B <blan...@gmail.com> wrote: A good espresso machine, well cared for,  should NOT NEED "bi-annual" fixes.  Think about it.   a heater either works or it does not. A high limit switch is either CLOSED or OPEN never in between the heater should show 8 to 10 ohms resistance -- never more.

So maybe... ordering the part... fixed the problem??? Well, at least I'll have the part when it does conk out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
