So my long term faithful Giotto Premium has stopped working.
Power on results in a green front light and one small 'click' sound internally but nothing further.
I'm guessing that this might be a water level sensor problem and I'd like to at least discount that before sending it out for service.
How can I best override the water sensor?
It's basically a white wire from the control box attached to a short probe into the side of the water tank connector.
A green wire attached to the underside of the machine with a metal probe up from that and into the water tank through a sprung valve.
Is there is simple way to bypass the sensor so I can determine if this is the core problem?
Is it as simple as disconnecting the green earth wire temporarily?
I'm not particularly electrically minded so I haven't really quite got my head around how this mechanism works but I'm guessing it's pretty simple.
