Yes, thanks, it very well could have been the switch or socket and I just missed it. It now seems to be running as normal. I brought it up to temperature and then opened the hot water to drain the boiler so the pump would kick in. It did as normal so I’m going to leave it and see what happens tomorrow morning.
My Lelit Bianca died....
Look for leaks. Perhaps over heated connections (plastic plugs will brown).
I’d also check your smart plug (assuming it’s smart rather than just a timer), and see how long it was on before it decided to “trip”. My tapo plug shows the power draw on a time Vs power graph.
Might give some clues!
Does it have an auto off safety feature if any conditions aren’t met? I.e water tank too low, could be a dodgy sensor for example?
I’d be logically going through all of the circuits personally.
What sort of plug does it have…has it got one of those clip over a euro plug things?
It could be that the switch temporarily lost it’s internet connection and didn’t turn it on?
Thanks Dave. Yes it could be but when it didn’t come on this morning I unplugged the smart switch and plugged the Bianca directly into the wall outlet and it didn’t turn on. I pressed the power button several times too. I think I would have seen something in the logs if the switch was acting up.
I’ve been testing it several times today and the smart switch is working so we’ll see.
Really weird.
thusband Really weird.
It does sound strange and really points to a loose wire on the high power side, cord, plug receptacle in the back of the machine. If this is the case and next time arcing occurs, you might get some burnt connectors and/ or tripping of the RCCBO/MCB in the fuse box.
I would check the locations I have mentioned for any signs of overheating.
Check where the cable leaves the ‘socket’ inside the machine, I have seen two machines fail at this point, one was my own. !
Thanks, I’ll do that. It fired up on schedule this morning but I’ll still
need to poke around.
thusband are you confident it wasnt just the iec lead not fully seated in the machine (the kettle lead).
Ive had many a site visit just to push one of those fully home after being told “weve checked all thr connections,”. 😎

That certainly could have been the problem but the morning it occurred I double checked. In fact I pulled the lead out and plugged it back in with no effect. Later that morning it seemed to magically come back on and since then it’s been fine.
