I finally got my Faema E98 (purchased on the “Hardware For Sale” section on here) home last night and fired it up. My problem is that it doesn’t heat up, even after being on for 45mins. Everything else appears to work – pump works, water comes out of the grouphead, but the water is cold and the boiler pressure gauge doesn’t budge from zero.
Note that this machine is BRAND NEW, and has never been used before, so I’m doubtful that any parts could be broken/faulty as presumably it was tested at the factory and worked ok then.
So, before I put it in for repair, or try to see if I can get it fixed under warrantee, are there any simple things I can check first? Could I have missed some important step when I was setting it up? These are the steps I followed when I got it home:
1. Unpacked machine and set it up on counter.
2. Filled reservoir with water.
3. Turned on power.
4. Pressed “boiler fill” button until I heard pump prime with water and water level on sight glass increase to over half-way (was already showing some water in boiler before I filled it – maybe from factory testing?)
5. Turned on brew switch – water came out grouphead, so far so good.
6. Allowed time fore machine to heat up, but it never heated up.
Is there anything I can check? Any ideas what may be wrong? Where should I go from here?
thanks,
Bill
