  • R58 Loud noises when heating up

    Hi
    We are experiences very loud crack noises as our R58 starts to heat up. It is okay when up to temperature. I am guessing that moisture is seeping into the ceramic cover of the heating element. As it heats it 'bursts' out.
    If you have experienced this on any machine is my guess correct. It has been happening for quite some time.
    Any advice appreciated.

    Best to involve a licensed sparky to check out the safety of the machine, if the sound seems to be similar to an electric arc...

      My Bezzera Matrix used to do this, turned out to just be one of the side panels was too tight and was expanding when it got hot. It did have acrylic sides on it though which is different to your Rocket.
      Might be worth checking the panels anyway just in case.

        Noisy anti-vac valve? I've heard a few loud ones, but nothing earth shattering

          Any chance of making a recording of these noises and posting the clip here?

          My anti-vacuum valve wore out a few months back but the symptom was steam jetting out the top.

            I am certain it is a noisy element.. starting from cold you can hear the popping noise alternating as the elements for the two boilers turn off and on. It went to the repairers, they replace the anti vac valve but did not text the next morning when the water was cold. The noise is still there, my wife said she had an electric jug that had a noisy element. I might just leave it. I can record the sound if desired. Not sure how to post it.

              open the steam wand when it starts up, for about the first 5 mins
              my R58 used to do the same thing
