Hi All, I hope someone can help as i am a little stuck! I think i have potentially googled everything possible and I think my girlfriend will leave me if i spend too much more time fiddling with this machine. I bought an Office Leva DB Rotary model that had a few issues as it was fairly cheap! I am not too bad at fixing things in general and I wanted to learn on the way so thought i would give it a go!
I thought i found the issue last week as the capacitor was blown on the circuit board (wahoo 20p fix!), I replaced this and stopped the relay continuously clicking. I now have the dreaded 'very very occasionally she fires up' issue. So the problem is; When i turn on the machine i get the relay click after a couple of seconds. If i turn on the steam boiler at the same time the red LED flashes when the relay clicks. I think this means the controller is saying yes the boiler is full (they are) so heat them up. At this point I guess something is tripping the circuit and there isnt any power going to the heating element. I have checked the hilimit switches (and bypassed them) and i think they are fine. The SSR light remains solid green so I guess that is fine as its trying to say heat the boiler. The PID displays the room temp with a small dot next to it. When i got the machine working the other week it all seemed to work fine, PID was working etc. Only issue was the vacuum release stayed open and was pushing out water (i was going to sort this when i have sorted the current issue) I hope someone can help, I feel like i have checked all the wires for contiunity, I have also checked the boilers and all seems fine. Sorry if this isnt detailed enough, I have a small video I can upload if that helps! Many thanks Rich -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
