Hi coffee fanatics
Long time lurker, first time poster
I have a tough one for all of you expert Rancilio Silvia troubleshooters. Help me out, please!
Here's what happened:
I wake up one morning and my Rancilio Silvia wouldn't heat up - light stayed on, no heat. I Google my issue and understand that the main thermostat's fuse went off. I also remember that I used my machine to make tea the evening before and didn't get water to run through the brew head, so this explains that.
I reset the fuse, make coffee.
Then I notice that the light doesn't go off like it used to. It just stays on, and heats up and heats up and heats up. I turn on the main group to see if the water's hot - hyper-hot steam blows out of the brew head. So I turn the machine off, fearing that I might burn my boiler.
I'm off to Google again. After reading a few posts on here, I understand that my brew and steam thermostats might be dead. So I order new ones. Install them. Test. Result?
Same thing. Heats up and heats up and heats up. Crazy steam blows out of the brew head.
Tell me, troubleshooting geeks. What do I do now?
