Okay Im joining the ranks of the not so happy Sunbeam owners. Have recently had a problem with my red light flashing below the water level indicator along with other problems mentioned below.
From reading here I have discovered others with similar issues. I have also found that the steam temp from the wand is about 50 deg when I hold the temp gauge there. Also the water that comes out into a jug is a max of 60 deg.
From my experiments I have found that if I remove the water container and take out the float and hold it against the side that it would normally be on the light goes out.
My question is then if I get a new float does that effect the temps of the steam and water or is that a separate issue?
I have also changed the advanced options to changed the steam and water temps but doesnt seem to make any difference.
Im tempted to take the thing back if the thermoblocks are going to be a problem. If anyone has any tips they can pass on it would be greatly appreciated. Was purchased in 04/08.
