    I'd recommend asking a licensed sparky to measure the current draw of the motor while pulling a few shots.
    The pump may be starting to seize up or the Start/Run Capacitor could be faulty...

      Hey mate, I have a similar machine, and the boiler on / boiler off pressure band (don't know the proper name for this) is way too wide: boiler on at about 0.5 bar, off at about 1.5 bar.
      First thought was pressurestat, so took it apart and gave the membrane a clean - looked okay to untrained eye, but there is no improvement on putting it back together... contacts are fairly pitted / stuffed looking too, but i'm not sure what problem this would actually cause, given they do still work when it switches.
      not sure whether there is anything else that could be causing this? or whether i should replace the membrane? or the whole pressurestat? - any thoughts would be much appreciated.

      cheers

      • Just replace membrane mate. Cheap compared to anything else. Cheers

          • Mate postage on that should be cheap from Coffeeparts. The membrane gets slack over time. Running full time (but at home not commercially) I replace mine every 3-4 years I suppose. Cheers
