    Along with leaking boiler seal you often see corrosion and degradation of the heating element particularly if not using filtered water. If you you reading is not around 50 ohms as chipboy mentioned the heating element is dead, just fiddle with the resistance settings with a dead element you should see the infinity or open circuit symbol.

    Should read around 50 ohms = 1125W at 240VAC at least this what a Sylvia shows

    Help with a Rancilio Miss Luc, troubleshooting no heat.

    Hey all,

    A long time between posts, I couldn't for the life of me remember my old username or log in for this forum so created a new one.
    I am just chasing some assistance in repairing a Lucy machine. Had a boiler seal blow 12months ago, so was taken off bench for repairs/refresh. Life happened and I kind of forgot about the old girl, anyway.
    New seals throughout now but on putting it all back together I now have no heat!
    Replaced the resettable thermostat earlier today, no heat. Cracked out the multimeter and this is where I need some experienced advice.

    With the multimeter set to 200k, I get a reading of 00.1 on the element, the brew and steam thermostat and the resttable???? What the?

    Is this not the right Ohms setting to use?
    When I put it into storage, everything was fine excluding the leaking boiler seal which was a slow drip.

    Pump is still working, grinder is still working just no heat.

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Cheers
Working...
