Hi All
I recently put a new seal in the boiler of my old Bezzera 2 gp and did the descale thing. Now with the machine back together I get a short when ever I connect the boiler. I carefully labelled the boiler wires, so Im pretty sure the wire is correct. I used a continuity tester on my meter and none of the contacts on the element terminals are shorting to earth. I assume that the terminals of each individual element should have continuity to the others- they do have. Is this right? What should I look for?
Boiler is filling ok and cut off works. If I disconnect the elements all is ok, when I connect them I trip the power.
If I wanted to try just one of the elements, which wires would I connect? At the moment wire 2 from the front element is connected to wire 1 of the rear element- if I disconnect one would the link need to remain?
Any help appreciated
