The S1 Cafe - Helping Your Espresso Dreams Become Reality

Some of the units of your vintage were mistakenly shipped with a plain steel spring instead of the standard stainless steel spring in the tank outlet valve that the o ring attaches to. I purchased my machine from Clive Coffee. They sent me the replacement part with the correct stainless spring enclo...

Thx Chas. just sent $ thru PayPal!

Not sure how much it costs for the gaskets -how do I know cost + shipping to send via PayPal? Also, is his email steve96822@hotmail.com ?

thx

I tried to PM steve96822 on Friday to order some silicone gaskets but realized today that the message is still in my "outbox". How do I get it to send???

I sent the unit back to the vendor (Clive Coffee) last night and they're already sending it back to me! It was just a disconnected wire on the fuse housing -not sure how this made it through the bench testing without being noticed by Chris'.

My power tester shows power is good from the outlet, cords and it stops somewhere between where the cord goes into the unit and the fuse.

Just checked the fuse next to the power cord base and it looks fine and wasn't loose.

Good choice of things to check, I was going to recommend that, too. It's right where the power cord goes into the chassis; i.e. the rear, left corner (when facing the front). It's not the easiest thing to check since you'll probably need to tilt the machine on the left side or toward the front to g...

I'm wondering if the fuse might have come loose during shipment -can anyone guide me in to it?

If it wasn't tested prior, it could be anything right down to it didn't work right from the factory. The ...

Thanks for your help! I really appreciate the input.

Great. I would open the top (1 screw) and make sure the toggle switch is in 15 (can 't hurt to be sure). While you have the top off, make sure the timer switch is set to "off" (assuming you do not have one). I think I read on this site that it might not turn on in that situation. Switches...

Not an expert like some here, but the setup (15/20 amp) shouldn't cause that problem. Based on the principal that the simplest answer is likely the correct one - are you sure your adapter cord is good? 'Just put a tester on the adaptor cord & it has power coming thru it -good guess though! Lex

'Just got my new Mini from UPS today. Filled reservoir, attached 15 amp adaptor cord, plugged in.... no standby light -nothing! I checked the 15 amp outlet & it's good. I ordered the 15 amp model -could it be set up for 20 amp?
