Lelit Elizabeth Steam Problem cause by Limit Stat

gtcruz0807

Hi,

First time here, i got my machine a couple of weeks back and I’ve used Dave’s settings ever since. Lately though, steam sometimes doesn’t work and I need to reset the limit stat. I did it twice now, yesterday and today. Steam works immediately after doing this. Do you guys know what’s causing this and how to prevent it as I really hate opening the top of the machine

gtcruz0807 - this should not happen, ever, unless there’s an underlying problem. You should contact your supplier and have it fixed as it’s under warranty.

gtcruz0807 Try and tell the supplier what temp you run the steam boiler at, and whether you get any evidence of a very high temp or venting from safety valve….

If you’ve only had it 2 weeks and you bought it new, you have been supplied with a faulty machine, in your position I would be asking for a replacement, or a refund. It could be very simple, but that should not be your concern at this stage.

I guess it depends where you are in the world, in any case, very best of luck with it, hope you get it sorted PDQ!
