Hey all,
Just posting for some advice, got my VBM Junior back early 2010, it has been a fantastic machine and in that time has not missed a beat. However, in the last few weeks i have had to stop using it completely as it seems to be having problems holding boiler temperature. The boiler fills and heats as per-normal however in the dial does not quite hit the 1.5 bars anymore and it does not hold temperature, the needle will start to fall almost right away after a boil cycle and it will be re-boiling within 3 mins. If i turn on the steam or run water though the group it will need to boil almost right away. I am thinking it is the thermostat that is gone? at any rate by my own admission i have been away a fair bit over the last year and have not been keeping up with the anti-scale methods as well as i should have been, i am sure it has probably knocked something out. i think i am going to get it a good old service. but any ideas on what the problem is is much appreciated.
