Subject: What could be wrong with a working HX machine?
|
I am looking at a Brugnetti Simona Top (http://www.coffeegeek.com/
reviews/commercial/simona/latest) of one of my friends, who said it
wasn't working. It seems to be working fine except that the machine
will produce a low pitched beep while it is pumping during a shot.
It's not the low water level warning for the reservoir as that works
just fine and produces a higher pitched beep (and stops the pump).
Temps and pressure are fine. I drained out the boiler (which flushed
out some calcium carbonate) and the auto refill worked OK.
It is the automatic (volumetric) version.
Can anyone advise me as to what the low pitched warning beep might be
trying to indicate?
Could it just be the volumetric control is faulty?

I have been dealing with a leaky solenoid valve, on a Brugnetti Simona
Aurora, do you know of anyone who services or provides parts for these
machines?

Well, after multiple descales, the machines still beeps so I guess it
has to be the electronics.

Not yet. The machine has had minimal maintenance (there was enough
gunk between the showerscreen and grouphead + in the PF that I could
have made a few cups of instant coffee) so I doubt it has ever been
descaled over its 7 year lifetime.
Thanks for the suggestion

I think some flowmeter/control boxes may beep if it thinks there is a
low flow condition. Have you descaled?

Hi Dan,
The beeping starts after about 10 seconds of pumpingand will then beep
about once per second after that until the pump is stopped. It takes
the same time to start beeping whether there is no PF in the grouphead
or if there is a PF with a blind filter installed.
Thanks
Greg

Perhaps it is simply counting shots? Does the beep go away if you pour a single
shot? Do you get two beeps if you select a triple?
