Mara x V1 water led light not staying on.

Craigzad

Hi hoping someone maybe able to help out had Mara X V1 from new for two years now but it has recently developed an issue with the water pilot light rapidly flashing on machine warmup then goes out and not coming back on.

The machine seems to be working as it should can pull shots & draw water from the hot tap no problem.

Craigzad I believe that’s the fast warmup function indicator….what does the steam pressure do/value whilst it’s flashing.

DavecUK ideally what should it do from cold start? not really paid attention if honest to the steam presure on warm up. Can report back next time start machine up tomorrow just in case also machine set to coffee mode I side switch and 0 front drip tray.

Excuse the 5 min video but uploaded video of mine, machine already on a few mins before i started recording light starts flashing by 20 seconds in then goes out completey by 2 mins steam presure climbs slowly to almost 3 bar then settles slowly back down to around 1 bar.

Craigzad Yeah, that seems pretty normal, it’s the fast warmup, so you can use it in around 20 minutes.
