                  as you can see i decided to try to solve it myself, a new box costs a lot of money, lets try this first!

                  I really need the adres of the guy who repairs these things...

                    Any genuine electronics tech should be able to repair this for you. They are really quite simple.....

                      And there in is the issue these days as more and more are either in Design OR Board jocks as it becomes harder to find parts and work with Surface Mount.

                      Such is life...

                      Now where was that black smith as I need a new carving knife ? Opps IKEA ;D

                        Work-arounds for alternative parts can often be accommodated and I think this board is a little retro for SMDs....

                          I have same Minibar which recently had to repair the boiler after a technician brake it. Currently the boiler is installed and clean almost like new.
                          The issue I have is the back solenoid opens for a sec and disconnect not enabling to fill the boiler.
                          I have tested the pump, the solenoid, the heater and the relay - all good.
                          When start the machine the pump is running non-stop, heater is not starting - filled the boiler manually.
                          Any recommendations? Thanks.

                            If you're 100% sure the boiler is full, you can ground out the boiler fill probe to see if it starts heating. To be honest though, it sounds like the control board is not correctly wired.

                              Thanks. Yes 100% the boiler is full. The probes board has no burns on it - however it does not functioning as well for the water level at the water container.
                              Can you refer me to a control board wiring and a test procedure? Thanks

                                I did some more testings:
                                When disconnecting only the long probe (wired green) that connected to FA9 on the controller everything stopped.
                                When disconnecting the short probe (wired green/black) connected to FA8 on the controller and water container is full (or touch the water probe on body) then the water starting to flow and the heater is starting.
                                That mean something is wrong with controller interpretation what to do when the boiler is full.
                                Hope this provide more information on the problem. Thanks
