Lelit Elizabeth 'ticking'?

DavecUK Is this off off, or off.

MediumRoastSteam So I unplugged the machine and the noise is still there. I then moved the machine somewhere else, and, to my surprise, the noise is still there.

I tried both Dave. Off and Off Off. :-)

PS: Looking at some pictures, looks like the machine does have a DTDP (Dual Pole Dual Throw switch) or at least a DPST (Dual Pole Single Throw) switch.

Inspector If it’s ticking like a clock when unplugged….it must be mechanical and heat related, otherwise I can’t explain it. There isn’t really a power source of any note within it? Perhaps a small cap keeping the RTC going….if it’s got one. Not sure it has.

MediumRoastSteam RTC as in Real Time clock/controller? I don’t think it keeps track of time though?

Probably not, really cannot think what it might be….especially if it’s unplugged…mouse in machine?

DavecUK - No idea. I’m sure there’s an explanation for it… Not worth the thought or worrying about it though.

skylark Resurrecting this one…did your ticking stop? Mine started about a month ago and i cannot pin point the location, other than maybe the back left of the unit.
As soon as i switch the machine on, ticking stops!

Doing my head in! I can hear it from 15 feet away.

DavecUK I have had it on a smart switch, so the machines power switch is ‘always on’ and I simply press the smart switch button on/off or the schedule will turn it on/off automatically.

I’ve just unplugged it from mains and will see what happens over the next 24 hours.

soundwave1 - :-) - If you go by reading experiences in the thread (including mine), most likely the ticking will be there. :-)

Mine is also ticking. Even if i don’t switch it on for couple of days.

soundwave1 Heres the tests you can do and do you use a euro plug converter, or dies it have a UK 3 pin plug.

With machine on and warmed up

• switch off machines switch (does it tick)
• switch off at smart plug (does it tick)
• switch off at mains socket switch (does it tick)
• unlug (does it tick)

repeat these with the machine cold

Doing those tests will pinpoint any problem

• normal ticking of metal as it cools down
• possible live neutral reversal in machine, smart plug, wall socket, euro to 3 pin adaptor
• supernatural activity

MediumRoastSteam Machine ticks unplugged and cold.

It’s a mystery, tales of the unknown.

DavecUK - honestly! Mine ticks every 7 seconds or so. It’s very faint, I can’t hear it unless I put my ear on the LCC.

Even when it’s physically unplugged?

It doesn’t even have a RTC module and battery, but even those don’t tick. It could just be changing temperatures in the room.
