Subject: Will not turn on: Saeco Caffe Charisma
|
Hi All,
I need some help. Had my Saeco Caffe Charisma for about 18 months. Worked
well. Last night I turned it off - and this morning it will not turn on.
Seems completely dead. Normally when I turn it on there's a squidgy little
grinding noise and the lights flash for a while, then its "ready". Now -
nothing. Like its not even plugged in (it is plugged in!).
I suspect that some sort of heat sensor or similar has been tripped (I leave
it on 24/7 normally) ... does anyone have any ideas at all? Have I perhaps
totally toasted something? I've opened her up to check for leaks etc - all
seems ok in that regard.
Any ideas? Anyone?
Rob

there are one or 2 thermal fuses clamped to the boiler or a resettable
one with a button.
check that next.

leaving one of these on 24X7? -- NOT recommended.

It seems to be, yes. Testing with a multimeter shows its working...
Do you have any other suggestions I can try?
Help very much appreciated!
