    Re: ECM Giotto Premium Woes - shutting off mid way through shots

    Unfortunately Im in New Zealand these days. (I bought it in Melbourne many years ago now) and the only qualified repairers I know of around here are Espresso Engineers.

    I think they are just too flat out busy to take a serious look at it as they have had it 3x times and cant find any fault. Thanks to everyone that contributed. Ill let you all know if I find a solution.

      For those of you who are interested in this problem I have been having, I thought I would post an update. I got hold of a volt meter to monitor current into the pump. Once I got the cover off the machine, I had to leave it to start misbehaving. Well since I took the cover off, it has not played up at all. It has been switched on now for 5 days and has made dozens of coffees without an issue. Weird.

        Weird.
        Nows the time to put the cover back on and see what happens over the next 5 days.

          OK. Cover went back on. After leaving it going for about 12 hours, it started to play up again. Lends towards the theory that it is heat related I guess.

            Hi cs,

            Based on the results of your experimentation, I think its either control board or wiring loom related. Might be time to cut your losses and replace both.

            Your repairer should also rewire the pressurestat to 240V as per 2010 specs at the same time. It will be a $300ish job, but will solve it once and for all.
