So I have a Verona Espres 1 Group (also called La Rocca Espres).
A couple of months ago the element seemed to die. Lights on but no heat. Tested element and no continuity. Replaced element and discovered arcing on the pressurestat terminals, so replaced with a similar model spare that I had lying around. All was well for around a month or two until tonight, machine was on all fine and then at some point element has failed again. Lights on pump works residual heat but not further heating and no pressure. Heating light remains on but nothing happening, same as previously. I haven't tested continuity, but I'm going to bet it has failed again.
I really need to know what else in the machine is causing this! I can't be buying elements every 2 months!
Any suggestions? From my research I havent found anyone else with repeatedly blown elements. Machine was fine for many years before this.
Thanks in advance. Will post again once confirmed whether continuity in the element.
