Lelit MaraX stuck in HX mode

RobertRo101

There is also a boost when in HX mode, 0 position on the right switch, if that even is HX mode because, as I said above, the pressure for the highest setting stays at 0.75 instead of 1.2-1.6 as per the manual.

But you are right, I incline more to think that the machine is actually stuck in brew priority given the facts, and it just overshoots the temperature and causes it to be hotter than normal.

RobertRo101 - Something is behaving very erratically with your machine. It doesn’t seem right to me. I hope Lelit gets back to you and your retailer sorts things out.

Good luck.

RobertRo101

Thanks, and thank you to everybody here that helped, you’ve been immense, with the tips and quick responses. I hope to work something out with my retailer, but they have been kind of weird saying that it’s not that big of a difference those 2-3 degrees.

Hi guys, just got sent this from Lelit directly in my mail. Seems that the new V2 is quite a bit different than V2, other than the OPV discharge mod and the black Lelit logo. If these photos are more appropriate for other threads, please, an admin move them.

RobertRo101 Hi guys, just got sent this from Lelit directly in my mail.

RobertRo101 Actually, no. I was there referring to the lights that were supposed to blink as per the V1 video. But now, the start/stop button light should blink and does so when switching the button to 0, which was the steam mode in V1 and is now the coffee mode in V2. I don’t understand why so many inconsistencies between v1 and v2. Why not keep 1 position for coffee and led light blinking as in v1? Anyway, will run some more tests on the 0 position until my retailer reaches back to me. For some reason, even the manual I got in the box was for V1 and also the manual on my product description on the Lelit care platform. My manual in the box says 0 is for steam.

Wow. This is very interesting and very confusing! According to the images you uploaded from Lelit, not only did they change how the software behaves in the two modes, they also swapped the switch position so that what was previously Coffee priority is now Steam priority (position 1), and what was Steam priority is now Coffee priority (position 0)?

And on top of that, you say you got the V2 machine with the V1 instructions (at least regarding the position of the switch, mixing up the two modes)? If I understand correctly and this is what actually happened, no wonder people are getting confused.

There is a lot of information available about how the Mara X behaves, and most of it is probably still about the V1 software. If V2 owners will put their machines in Steam priority (position 1) and then go and compare the behaviour of their machine to Coffee priority (also position 1) on the V1 software… Oh dear.

I am wondering if the above can actually be true (sounds like complete madness), or maybe I am just missing something?

RobertRo101 I tried both 0 and 1 modes with different temperature switch positions, after warm-up, and the temperature light is always on, indicating that the HX mode is active.

OK - so your machine definitely has a problems according to the image you posted above.

Ah, it’s so frustrating, I feel like I am running some blind tests here for the manufacturer:)

RobertRo101 - OK.

So, in light of the new machine/software, do you think your machine works as expected then?

RobertRo101

It’s still warming now, probably will spend the night testing it:) it should, at least according to the new manual, have 90 degrees on temperature 0 and mode 0. Will see about that. Will come back and update.

RobertRo101

Nope, you are right. I received the manual for V1, with 1 position being coffee priority. Now Lelit sent me some pieces from the V2 manual which for some reason they won’t post in full, so still a bit of guessing to do. The same for the lights flashing for confirmation that you are in coffee mode, on V1 all lights flashed 5 times but on V2, only the light from the start/stop button flashes which can make you miss it, thinking that it is actually the normal light that flashed when starting the machine. I don’t know what other changes they made, as I don’t yet have the full V2 instruction manual, but will keep you guys posted. Temperature still seems to be too high, 92 average on position 0 and 93 on position 1, so no real big differences between those, given the fact that the V2 manual says it should be 90 for position 0 and 92 for position 1, will do more tests.

RobertRo101 given the fact that the V2 manual says it should be 90 for position 0 and 92 for position 1, will do more tests.

Also it depends where and how the temperature was measured. You are measuring with a group thermometer, they might have measured with a Scace II device whist pulling a shot.

If the temperature is the only thing now and the machine is behaving as it should, at this point I’d take a step back and enjoy the machine. 😊

RobertRo101

I have actually just received a mail from Lelit confirming that I can send the machine to their service for check-ups. Even on 0 position, for setting 0 and 1 I have the same temperature, 92-93, but position 2 works as it should with around 94 degrees.
