    Re: ecm giotto problem

    once again thanks for all your help Chris

    ozscott, have no fear in purchasing these machines. In over 3 years, appart from this and another incident which was totaly my fault, i have had no major issues. They are bullit proof.
    When the time comes and the ecm goes to coffee heaven (which shouldnt happen for a very long time) i wouldnt hesitate to purchase another one

    Given that some of us pine after big shiny expensive machines...can the "few things that can cause this" be summarised on the forum...I (and I guess other too) am building up a store of info about these high end machines...so when the time comes to upgrade I know a bit more about whats what.

    CHEERS
    Scott- It is normally too clean or too dirty water. Distilled or over filtered water has little ionic content = no conductivity and machine thinks its empty= Safety cutout to protect the element. If grotty water coats the tank probe with scale or causes oxidation, same problem. RO water causes the same issues if not modified ala Veneziano style. RO unmodified = Machine Killer...

    A heap of flusing of both HX and boiler is required after descale as residual gunk can be found pretty much everywhere and this can lead to gremlins.

    We recommend only filtered, softened water in all of our machines- so descaling should be pretty much unneccessary....

    i think i have a poltegeist at home.
    Turned the machine off after it happend.
    Let it cool down and just went to take the top pannel off to have a look inside for any obvious faults.
    Not that i knew what i was looking for, but just incase a hose come off or something.
    Couldnt find anything, so put the lid back on, put the water reservoir back in, fired it up and guess what.

    Yep the pump started working as per normal.

    Maybe she had a hissy fit

    Thanks for the help though Dennis, and yes, if it happens again, i think it will be going straight to 2mcm for a service

    John, if you happen to live in Sydney I recommend you give Di Bartoli a call and speak with Renzo. If youre in Melbourne then 2mcms your man.

    Dennis, no offense taken mate
    yes checked the reservoir and it was still 3/4 full and sitting in place correctly.
    I pulled it out and put it back in place to be 100% sure.

    No offense meant John, but did you check the water level and that the reservoir is in place correctly?

    started a topic ecm giotto problem

    ecm giotto problem

    I was just backflushing my giotto when all of a sudden something went wrong.
    I get no water coming out of the group head now and it also seems the pump may have died as when i normaly works its loud but now i only hear a slight noise when its running, or trying to run.
    Any tips? or how do i know for sure its the pump?
Working...
