Re: EM6910 Steam broken
Thanks guys
Steam pump seems to be working this morning, did another factory reset.
Will wait to see if i get a reply from Sunbeam customer service, and perhaps will try the descale too if the pump keeps this up.
I am heading off for 2wks holiday to Thailand, and will check it again when i get back.
Cheers
PS thx for advice AM. I was known as the child that can pull any appliance into a thousand pieces and rebuild, hey presto - it worked! sometimes i wasnt sure why - maybe things just like being pulled apart. Always disconnected from mains though

Re: EM6910 Steam broken
Ok... Pm me your details or send a direct request through to;Originally posted by 75686861706B66646B050 link=1265835844/9#9 date=1266409741Thanks AM.. unfortunately I am living in Jakarta, so SB isnt just down the road. hard to claim warranty from here.
The unit has been fixed twice under warranty before, but not fiddled by me. Although i have exploded views and am keen to have a crack at replacing it myself (being a mechanical engineer).

Let them know your background and where you are.
Then search and find the post by Matrix as it has lots of pics etc.... And will assist with get the job done.
Keep the inner workings as that will more than likely be OK... If it is just the coil.. I dont think they sell the items as separate parts..
If they are suss as to selling OS... Then I may be able to help... MAY
Note: Australia or OS... mechanical engineer is not electrical ;D so please make sure the electrical issues are managed and that you remain safe.

Re: EM6910 Steam broken
If the pump has stopped altogether, surely i couldnt use a descale? does it have to be run through the pump through the water tank? I am very fastidious with keeping the machine clean - and its only 14 months old.
Thanks for the advice.
I am trying to chase up the price of a new steam pump through Sunbeam.
Is the steam pump covered by the 5 year warranty?

Re: EM6910 Steam broken
Should be fast pump rate. ie. wetter steamOriginally posted by 55636867726974060 link=1265835844/5#5 date=1266378271(slow pump rate
I seem to recall that different types of descaling solutions do different things
(hope I got this right)
One type disolves scale the other flakes it off
You want to use the type that disolves

Re: EM6910 Steam broken
Have you tried running a descale through the steam block. Search for AMs guide / warnings about doing this (slow pump rate, low thermoblock temp and do it outside) but it "may" solve the problem (and if it doesnt, its a pretty low cost way to try and find out)

Re: EM6910 Steam broken
I seem to have a similar issue - my EM6910 is now out of warranty, and I have taken with me to Jakarta - hence no Sunbeam agents here
The steam was taking a loooong time to kick off (circa 30-40sec) and then when it did eventually kick in, it was pretty gutless.
This morning, its stopped altogether. The wand is still hot, but no pump. So i am thinking its not the thermoblock, only the pump.
Is this something i could replace myself? I am an engineer, so good with fixing things, and have a manual for the machine with exploded views.
Does anyone on the forum have a spare steam pump which is in working order? I shudder to think how much Sunbeam will want.
Cheers
Paul

At a month old I wouldnt be mucking around.
I would take it back to the purchase point and demand a replacement.
