I've scanned through the last 10 pages of this forum but haven't found a post describing my problem so here's hoping someone can enlighten me.
My Sunbeam EM6910 fails to startup. When I power it on, the red light starts flashing but it never reaches temperature (light just keeps flashing for ever). The GH colar gets very hot (too hot to touch for more than a sec) so I'm thinking it could be the steam thermoblock that has gone.
The machine is almost 5 years old and I've already had it repaired once for a blown solenoid valve. I would be tempted to try a repair myself if it was on the relatively cheap & simple side (I can solder and own a multimeter, etc.), otherwise I'm thinking about upgrading.
Anyone seen this before? Should I try and open her up and do a simple diagnosis with the multimeter or just get a new machine?
