    An update, to complete the loop of the thread - The transformer replacement was ordered, and replaced, which brought the machine back to life.

    In the gicar rl30 box, it appears the 24v side of the transformer is an open cct. I suspect this is the issue. Its interesting seeing that this box was swapped out for another. Perhaps the substitute box was stuffed also.

    You're right Matt. They're fairly simple. I was dissapointed. Hopefully i can find a replacement machine soon enough.

    Check your orange switch may be one of the poles is not connected

    Check wire connect to water tank, this must be connect other wise machine will not send signal to the heating element to switch ON.

    you can also check if the board is filling by disconnecting the yellow wire from the top of the boiler the machine should start filling after 10 seconds you turn it ON, you want to do this first because uou want to know if is water in the boiler otherwise you can burn the heating element

    to check the heating element and the pressure switch you will need a multi-meter

    just give a buzz if you want to talk about it

    Renzo, your a godsend for BZ99 owners!

    I checked the main switch, pressure stat had continuity, so did element. I checked the voltage over the PS and active which gave 0v which indicates to me an input to the cigar box is not triggering the machine on. I bridged the water sensor to no avail.

    The machine went to a repairer (at original vendors cost) and they were unable to repair it for me after substituting the CIGAR box and R1.

    I'm sending the machine back to the original vendor, but I hope to get them to repair it or provide me with an alternate machine as I do love these old BZ99s.

    BZ99 issues or am I missing something

    Hi,

    Long time lurker, first post. I've picked up a second hand bz99 that I think has arrived DOA. Issue is, i hit the power button and it lights up but the rest of the machine is dead. No relay clicks or element light comes on. Tank is full. I belive this could the be a relay or is it possibly the dreaded cigar box? Or am i missing something silly.
    Vendor is reputable, im sure it'll be sorted, but I dont want to look like an idiot!

    Cheers!
Working...
