  • Ikon Users !! need help 4 Broken Ikon (no steam?)

    need some help

    I have a Ikon i got for nothing and although it heats up it does not make steam.

    it turns on heats up pump runs and fills etc seems hot and looks like it will make a shot but when i press the steam button NO steam (it does not heat up extra hot for steaming)

    steam button seems to do something if i hold it in a long time, goes into some sort of program / clean mode?

    no manual (still looking online) but assume you just press "steam" and wait but nothing happens

    i have the top off it and it all looks OK but no steam??
    any thoughts?

      yeah thinking that AM

      might have a bit more of a play of the basics, no rush will give you a shout if no joy

      just thought if it can be coaxed back to life I can pass it on to someone in need etc

      at worst a few more parts in the "parts box" to pay it forward

        Any time..  Problem is if a driver or timing cct is dead or not getting a signal...  Who knows what Easter egg the programmer has embedded for when the steam button is held down.

        We had a habit of embedding Quotes and paragraphs of Tolkin in some of our code that we developed for some medical analysers many years ago.

        Then about 5 years later I was just looking with a hex editor one day, as some stuff was performing same type of function...  Presto.. Not only some of our code and  Quotes but a response or two...

        BOT.

        It could also be a sensor that is causing the system to not respond or another switch that is active and thus the steam and Unknown is then putting the system into the clean mode you mention ?  Just a thought..

        Do you have ausers manual ? Maybe stuck in some other mode and thus the reason some one put it on the footpath  ;D

        No Steam = "Steam Control Dial has not been turned towards ‘MAX’ position"

        PS. Now for some BF1942 ;D

            You took the words out of my head...

            Also, to the OP, you need to "prime" your steam wand beforehand because I had the same problem when I first got mine.

            i.e. DONT turn on the steam button, turn your dial to MAX and let water flow until nothing comes out fo the steam wand.
            THEN turn on steam button and turn up dial to MAX to check steam wand is working.

            Otherwise ask Breville  :

            P.S. FYI the dial is on the RIGHT HAND SIDE when facing the machine.

              this machine does not have a steam dial....



              just a button....

              anyway i picked it up free, was told it had the no steam issue. i thought i would pull it apart to see if it was fixable...

              thought a basic issue might be.
              1. button stuffed / moved (dont think this is the issue)
              2. heating element ( dont think so as only 1 and gets heat to brew)
              3. loose something like micro switch etc (dont think so)
              4. loose wire. still need to check

              more serious issues.
              1. stuffed control board....
              2. its stuffed

              if not fixable, it has some parts that someone will want in the future...
              pump, water tank, ghandle.... ete etc

              right now its under the stairs.... got told "dont leave that POS there for the weekend..." lol  but i will drag it back out at a later date

                  Re: Ikon Users !! need help 4 Broken Ikon (no steam?)

                  yeah but it does not have any wires running to it i mean, no micro switches etc.

                  but i see what you mean now, and i tried bleeding off some water etc then pressing buttons. your idea is a good one and i will try it again.

                  but its not boiling for steam

                    BTW, the bleeding on an Ikon takes about 1-3 mins for priming (all buttons on, steam button not blinking) and 30 secs-1min for steam (after pressing steam button, steam button blinking)

                      thanks Lilmeh

                      will give it a try i was a bit lost in trying to understand what you meant

                      although not confirmed the original owner told me steam had stopped working so i am assuming its got a issue.

                      by steam dial i was thinking like the 6910, where the steam switch is included in the dial, or the other models where you "turn" that dial lookig thing on the front to steam.

                      Cheers

                          On the Ikon, (after priming), you have to press the steam button so that it blinks and then turn the dial to start heating. Hope this clarifies it up.

                          Good luck!
