Espresso maker heating problem fixed

[@JoseAyala-tf8di]

Awesome! I followed the instructions and fixed the problem with my espresso maker. Thanks and my the Lord bless you.

[@canada_rye]

This worked perfectly on my machine, was only brewing around 60c, added a shim to this thermostat, and brewing at 85c now.

[@BoeingJetJockey]

I had the same problem on the exact same model. Water came out was 70-ish Celcius. All I did was I bought an espresso machine descaler. Put it in a water tank. Run it through the machine and reuse the solutions again (several passes). At the end, I got 95C water coming out without removing any screw. If you have an Espresso machine, make sure you descale it from time to time. By the way, I have been using my machine for almost 20 years.

[@theoverengineer]

Thanks for your insight!

[@JR-zw2vb]

would citric acid do it?

[@askerdog1]

EXCELLENT VIDEO YOU REALLY HAVE STUDIED THE PRINCIPLE OF HEAT EXCHANGE TO MAXIMIZE AND GET SOME MORE MILEAGE OUT OF AN OLDER MACHINE FOR ZERO DOLLARS BRAVO

[@theoverengineer]

Thank you!

[@MIkeGeneau]

This was a great video, thank you, was thinking of tossing it out ,so simple again thanks

[@theoverengineer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ramchillarege1658]

Very nice. Excellent job explaining it to the general public.

[@theoverengineer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@HowToHydroponics]

Lots of explaining the same thing over and over with no demonstration of the fix.

[@wakefieldyorkshire]

These videos just keep getting better and better, informative, to the point, and brilliantly explained. Thumbs up and THANK YOU Overengineer. :- )

[@theoverengineer]

- thx 4 watchin`!

[@andrewmeszaros234]

Thank you for the video. It served as a temporary fix for a couple months, then stopped working again. Now I need to replace the part I think.

[@theoverengineer]

Maybe. Or it could be caused my hard water.

[@faadhifauzi6537]

An amazing explanation! On top of really knowing your stuff, you have such a captivating way of telling a story. I was engaged the whole time and I'll definitely be watching more!

[@theoverengineer]

Cheers, mate!

[@Onlyfamoli]

loved the explanation, this is the kind of videos that got me into telecom/electronics. Subbed

[@theoverengineer]

Welcome aboard! My videos deal with all kinds of substandard I come across, electrical, mechanical, structural, manufacturing.

[@gabrielbotha422]

Great video. Good explanation. Thank you.

[@SlowXDreams]

Even tho i get the problem and what your solution was, the explanation didnt have a good flow in this video. This made it a bit difficult to follow.

[@sagittarius145]

correct. went backwards and forwards somewhat. plan a simple story line before you talk, then follow that scripted storyline in the vid. Your voice is listenable-to however.

[@wonkywonka]

I got bored of the blablablah. I fast forward looking for a more visual aide. All I see is hand waving on top of the unit. This could have been summarized In less than 2minutes.

[@treetopspider]

What a brilliantly explained video. You made this so easily understandable. I enjoyed watching this even though theres nothing wrong with my coffee maker :-)

[@teobardoulas6463]

Hello my friend perfect video! But i have a similar problem when the coffee starts bleeding my temperature is falling down. Can you help me please?

[@djokicmetamora]

Thank you for this!

[@guidoitaliano7722]

Wow, 4:26 min into vid,,still no explanation why there is no heat. I’m out

[@alirezakhazaee3586]

Hi . thank you for your video. My coffee maker is a Breville model BES870XL/B unfortunately the pressure does not rise. The gauge is working. The pump worked by taking out an output pipe from it and turning it on, and it had a good output pressure. All the pipes are clean, and I cleaned them twice with special tablets. The steam works and there is no problem. I still could not find the problem. If I find it, I have the possibility to repair it. I have two guesses, one is the external stream ring and casket and the other is the solenoid valve. In the first case, the device has no leaks at all, neither internal nor external pipes. Thank you for your advice in advance

[@theoverengineer]

Looks like the pressure doesn't stay in the system, which could be a seal problem. (Pressure testing somehow?) Solenoid could also open early, if a faulty thermostat powers it at a lower temp/pressure. (Temp measurement is easy)

[@alirezakhazaee3586]

@@theoverengineer thank you for your reply, but if it is a seal problem we don't have any leaks.

[@elvielade3939]

What remedy the trouble not heating water?

[@padraigocuinn8384]

When I turn the machine on it automatically pumps out water, I have to turn it off at the mains switch. It comes on even when the power button is off. Automatically heats up to over bioling degrees and when the power button is on it gets even warmer.

[@theoverengineer]

Looks like a thermostat issue ...

[@VisitTube700]

I don't have a thermostats on my machine "Hibrew H11" ,, I searched a lot and no thermostats inside the machine, how it stop at certain heat point ??

[@theoverengineer]

Could also be a thermocouple and could be a miniature version on a circuit board

[@VisitTube700]

@theoverengineer If these things used, is it replac able or not ??

[@theoverengineer]

Replaceable but needs to be soldered out of a printed circuit board ... gets complicated

[@pramodsinghchauhan1394]

From where can I get just the heater ??

[@moonolyth]

Q. Ok 2nd switch is for redundancy or safety. So you are saing switches work independent of each other? So the second switch ...(un touched) will shut off first..reaching its goal. Then the other switch will switch off at higher temp. as it is buffered by air? Thanks. I'm building a car parts washer using these click switches and a Car engine heating pad. Shutting off at 120f. Most these swiches reach copasity, then go down 15 digrees before making contact again. Thanks

[@theoverengineer]

Right, switches are fully independent, not logically linked or coupled (besides being in series). One switch closes the circuit to heat up, the other opens to cool down. It's like 2 people arguing about if the ball was in or out, it never ends. There is no mechanical aid in moving air, just straight heat loss through the exposed surface area of hot metal.

[@moonolyth]

@@theoverengineer Ah! I see, that is how you get past a single switch reseting after temp goes down 15digrees. So it stays a consistent temperature. Two units counterbalanced one another. Very good Thanks will help much!

[@mindfootage]

My machine just shuts down when making three consecutive cups of coffee. Any suggestions to put me on the right path to repair?

[@unclefranksbackyardpizza]

Mine does not turn on do you know what should I look for I’ve been trying to look for a video

[@theoverengineer]

fuse, open/burned out wire somewhere (I know, good luck, right?)

[@OhMyMemories]

the 2 thermostats, on my machine Beeville barista express one is corroded. Does anyone know here I am able to find part to replace this thermal stat?

[@theoverengineer]

online at newark element 14?

[@JR-zw2vb]

mad scientist saves us again! 🤣

[@robertFat804]

Any idea what might be causing the same problem on a BES900XL dual boiler model? Many thanks

[@uc3656]

No difference. One boils for steam and the other for coffee. I recommend checking if there are two temp controls or if there’s one per pump. Mine only has one per pump.

[@bobbondarul7448]

Smart Thank you

[@theoverengineer]

You're welcome!

[@lewism3747]

I'd it open thermostat or closed please

[@theoverengineer]

Thermostat is normally closed, when overheated, it opens

[@karao7831]

Hi! I have the same espresso machine, however it is OVER heating very quickly and if you wait more than a few minutes it gets too hot and will not pump any water at all. Do you know if this is also an easy fix. I’m fairly competent at diy if pointed in the right direction . Thank you !

[@gerardjones7881]

Ensure the thermocouple is properly seated and in contact with the head. It's located in this video between the 2 thermostats he is talking about, it has heat proof sleeve over the wire.

[@وردهحلوه-ق2ب]

You talk tooooo much repeating yourself over n over n over

[@borislum1998]

agree. the problem was that the left thermostat was triggering too early so he put a spacer to elevate the thermostat to come on later and leave the heating element on longer. good solution. even wooden spacer (being non heat conductive) would have been better than a metal spacer.

[@neptuneisbleeding]

Omfg, right?! Get. To. The. Point.

[@neptuneisbleeding]

@@borislum1998 bro, if I could have just read your comment instead of never getting back the time I spent watching this grade 5 science class.

[@Grizzlyx9]

this dude talks too much and didnt explain shit.

[@gerardjones7881]

Pedantic is the term.

[@sagittarius145]

wow what a lot of waffle. You need to reduce the repetition !! Could have condensed the talk down by 80%. Start by talking about the regulator, not the water tank !

[@Darkmatter321]

A 10 minute video and you didnt actually do anything. I want my 10 ,imutes back

[@theoverengineer]

Easy: watch the video in reverse
