Firstly, not sure if this is the right place to post so mods, apologies from now.
I have had an ECM Technika for 18 months now and have loved it. However around 4 months ago it would not heat up the water and consequently the group head. After taking it back to the place I bought it from, it turned out that one of the relays on the board gave way so wouldn't cause it to heat up. Cost me $220 to get it repaired.
4 months later I seem to have the same issue. Saw the pressure bar rise to 2.5 bars, so I released some steam, got it down to about 0.5 but it just kept dropping from there and wouldn't go back up. Switched it off and on, no success.
I was wondering if anyone had similar issues with their machine, what the cause was and if it is a common issue, whether this can be a DIY job if it is the relay again? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
