Berryterry so basically when the lever is pulled nothing happens. I did what i tried last time (trying to nudge the wires ) it didn’t work. Turned it off, cooled off and worked i guess its overheating that is causing this
Yeah, I found the fix before less than satisfying. As LMSC says, make sure the little lever is being moved by the big lever when you pull it down….you can even force the little lever back yourself and see if the pump starts.
If it doesn’t….this is how the system should work:
When you pull the lever down, you open the sealed brew circuit…the pressure drops and the pressurestat moves to the normally closed position and sends power to the pump transformer, or possibly indirectly via the main board to the pump transformer. I am not certain which route because I have not seen the production electrical schematic.
The obvious places for bad wiring are the solenoid, where the wires from the solenoid go, wires to the transformer, or even wires from the transformer. Be careful, do all checks with the machine unplugged.
As always make sure you report it to ACS, even if it just a loose wire.
