I have an ECM Giotto that does on average probably 3-4 cups per day. My machine has started to intermittently trip the power board it is connected to. (HPM 10amp normal household power board with overload protection) I had a quick look inside the machine and it all looks clean and dry. (I tried to book the machine in to my preferred site sponsor -Talk Coffee - but they are full until April - they have however suggested the culprit may be the boiler element and/or the control board.)
Ran the multimeter over the element - continuity ok and resistance circa 44.9 ohms. No idea of how to check any functions on the control board.
Two questions arise:
1. any ideas on what else a "non tech" ie myself can check to keep my machine going until booked in for service?
2. as the issue is intermittent and manifests itself by tripping a resettable power board - any great issues with running the machine over easter?
cheers
