Problem and solution shown and explained. A week later I replaced big paperclip (1.25mm dia.) with 14 ga. wire (1.5mm). Works better. Insides of a disk thermostat: • Inside a snap-action d...
EXCELLENT VIDEO YOU REALLY HAVE STUDIED THE PRINCIPLE OF HEAT EXCHANGE TO MAXIMIZE AND GET SOME MORE MILEAGE OUT OF AN OLDER MACHINE FOR ZERO DOLLARS BRAVO
I had the same problem on the exact same model. Water came out was 70-ish Celcius. All I did was I bought an espresso machine descaler. Put it in a water tank. Run it through the machine and reuse the solutions again (several passes). At the end, I got 95C water coming out without removing any screw. If you have an Espresso machine, make sure you descale it from time to time. By the way, I have been using my machine for almost 20 years.
An amazing explanation! On top of really knowing your stuff, you have such a captivating way of telling a story. I was engaged the whole time and I'll definitely be watching more!
What a brilliantly explained video. You made this so easily understandable. I enjoyed watching this even though theres nothing wrong with my coffee maker :-)
correct. went backwards and forwards somewhat. plan a simple story line before you talk, then follow that scripted storyline in the vid. Your voice is listenable-to however.
I got bored of the blablablah. I fast forward looking for a more visual aide. All I see is hand waving on top of the unit. This could have been summarized In less than 2minutes.
When I turn the machine on it automatically pumps out water, I have to turn it off at the mains switch. It comes on even when the power button is off. Automatically heats up to over bioling degrees and when the power button is on it gets even warmer.
No difference. One boils for steam and the other for coffee. I recommend checking if there are two temp controls or if there’s one per pump. Mine only has one per pump.
Hi . thank you for your video. My coffee maker is a Breville model BES870XL/B unfortunately the pressure does not rise. The gauge is working. The pump worked by taking out an output pipe from it and turning it on, and it had a good output pressure. All the pipes are clean, and I cleaned them twice with special tablets. The steam works and there is no problem. I still could not find the problem. If I find it, I have the possibility to repair it. I have two guesses, one is the external stream ring and casket and the other is the solenoid valve. In the first case, the device has no leaks at all, neither internal nor external pipes. Thank you for your advice in advance
Looks like the pressure doesn't stay in the system, which could be a seal problem. (Pressure testing somehow?) Solenoid could also open early, if a faulty thermostat powers it at a lower temp/pressure. (Temp measurement is easy)
Q. Ok 2nd switch is for redundancy or safety. So you are saing switches work independent of each other? So the second switch ...(un touched) will shut off first..reaching its goal. Then the other switch will switch off at higher temp. as it is buffered by air? Thanks. I'm building a car parts washer using these click switches and a Car engine heating pad. Shutting off at 120f. Most these swiches reach copasity, then go down 15 digrees before making contact again. Thanks
Right, switches are fully independent, not logically linked or coupled (besides being in series). One switch closes the circuit to heat up, the other opens to cool down. It's like 2 people arguing about if the ball was in or out, it never ends. There is no mechanical aid in moving air, just straight heat loss through the exposed surface area of hot metal.
@@theoverengineer Ah! I see, that is how you get past a single switch reseting after temp goes down 15digrees. So it stays a consistent temperature. Two units counterbalanced one another. Very good Thanks will help much!
Hi! I have the same espresso machine, however it is OVER heating very quickly and if you wait more than a few minutes it gets too hot and will not pump any water at all. Do you know if this is also an easy fix. I’m fairly competent at diy if pointed in the right direction . Thank you !
Ensure the thermocouple is properly seated and in contact with the head. It's located in this video between the 2 thermostats he is talking about, it has heat proof sleeve over the wire.
agree. the problem was that the left thermostat was triggering too early so he put a spacer to elevate the thermostat to come on later and leave the heating element on longer. good solution. even wooden spacer (being non heat conductive) would have been better than a metal spacer.
wow what a lot of waffle. You need to reduce the repetition !! Could have condensed the talk down by 80%. Start by talking about the regulator, not the water tank !
