That’s what they tried to tell me over the telephone. I’m going to try and push for back to base I think as I think it’s definitely not functioning properly 🙉. Either that or see if they will send new probes or gicar for me to fit. But I doubt it 🙏

    I believe Xmode steam got replaced by Xmode coffee, so I think your switch down (0 depressed) is coffee priority mode (effectively no real steaming power and stable temps) and up 1 is steam boost mode

      This is a 2021 version 1 model. So that should be original settings with version 1 gicar box?

          Well it was purchased early 2021 before version 2 update was released (I think). In which case that would make the behaviour above unusual for the v1? I.e cycling at 1.5 bar in brew priority

              Did you get this resolved? If so, how?

              My MaraX (out of warranty) is behaving in the exact same manner. It would be good to know what to expect before contacting Bella Barista.

                @Exiled @StevenG91 any updates from either of you in terms of a fix? My machine is behaving the same now and before I pull anything else apart or order further parts I’m wondering if you had any pointers?

                  Hey,
                  I actually cleaned the temperature probes. There was some scale on the probes. Very light scale I may add. But I cleaned them with a wire brush and ran a descale of the machine. Never had any problems since.

                    Thanks for the reply! Top and bottom probes? That’s what I’m considering doing with regards to a descale after. I could just about see into the machine after taking the top probe off and there was light scale, nothing worth doing ordinarily perhaps but just for good measure.

                      Yeah I done top and bottom just to be sure. The scale was minimal but it did seem to help along with the descaling cycle. It’s not missed a beat since then. Hopefully it sorts yours 😊

                        Thinking about it and I have a MaraX with a special display and software so I can see the temps fluctuating in real time, the changes in the brew circuit (HX monitoring) happen rapidly and I guess it must be possible for even light scale to affect response times and thus higher temp variances.
