Subject: Burnout boiler?
|
Hi guys, just a quick question,
I own a Rancilio Silvia and the other night stupidly forgot to turn it
off. I woke up the next morning to find it still turned on with the
steam switch turned on also. The steam valve was off so had obviously
had a build up of pressure overnight.
I turned it on again later to use it however it will not heat up. My
best (and relatively uneducated guess) is that I have burntout the
boiler. Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what may be
wrong, or if it is the boiler, where to find a replacement 240v boiler
(as I am located in Australia). I saw a couple online but they were
all in America and so were 110v.
Also lastly, how easy is it to replace the boiler yourself or is it
best done by an expert. The machine is about 2 months out of warranty
unfortunately so the cheapest way out of this will be quite appealing.
Thanks
Kieran

if pressing the buttion does not help, boilers are about $80.00 in the
US.
test it with an ohmmeter, should read about 30 ohms in your case. if
it reads infinite? then boiler.
not too hard to do. -- rg will be along. --

Resettable Thermostat is on the FRONT LEFT of boiler; press the red button
in.

Howdy Kieran!
Yep, sounds like you need to lay out hundreds of dollars for a new boiler -
or reset the high limit tstat.
