Hi. I have an oldish Rancilio Silvia which suddenly started tripping the power circuit breakers today. I have tested the boiler for a short or down to earth fault and couldn't find any such faults, however if I disconnect the boiler, the breakers no longer trip. I have checked continuity on the boiler and have resistance of about 50 Ohms. Any suggestions greatly appreciated - Thanks

It'll be an earth leakage fault at the element, a regular multimeter won't be able to test for this, you need an insulation tester or megger.
If you have a V3 or older, you'll need to change the boiler to the new type which uses a different element configuration. Coffee-A-Roma are the best guys to use for parts.
