Subject: Help! I need a thermal fuse to get my Gaggia Classic alive again
|
My 4 years old Gaggia Classic shut down just after pulling a shot,
during the
heat-up phase to be steam-ready. All indicator lights shut down, and
the machine is now lifeless. Is there anyone know where to buy a
thermal fuse to get it replaced?
And how much it will cost? Thanks
I live In USA.
Thanks again

How nice - this must be one of the few 'merican posters who hasn't assumed
that everyone knows that he lives in the USA.

Unless you make the leads long enough and using alligator clips with a
wet cloth, keep the device cool.

While the descriptions of where you can buy a thermal fuse are
correct, you would also do well to ask why it blew. It's possible that
your steam thermostat has failed closed, so that the element didn't
turn off. If you don't feel comfortable with any of this, call Home
Espresso Repair in Seattle; their web site is <http://

Best,
David

While diagnostics are a good precaution, the thermal fuse on the
Gaggia can, itself, simply fail. Mine failed in the first six months
of use, while the replacement has been fine for three years.

Exactly Brad.
of the ones I've owned and repaired, the fuse just failed on its own.
no other faults..

When you get the replacement thermal fuse, ensure you crimp it - do
not solder it since it will blow immediately with the heat.

Also, other electronics supply stores. Take the burnt out one in. The number on
the side is the °C it defuses. Dan
