Melting plastic from wiring at terminal block

Hi everyone, I purchased a used S1 Dream about 18 months ago (manufactured 2012) and it's been a wonderful machine. There have been a couple maintenance issues but nothing unusual for this age of machine and to me it's well worth keeping the machine going. Last year I replace a couple leaking elbows...

Re: Removing steam wand elbow from boiler

Honestly I would just order the replacement part (refer to the parts diagram online) and a length of new Teflon tube, the tube gets chewed up from the push fittings and won't reliably re-use. To remove the old tubing y...

Re: New to Me V2 Issues

Congrats on your new/used machine! Some thoughts: - My first thought is that you're looking at a scale issue - Attempt to flush: Try warming up the steam boiler fully then purge as much as possible from the hot water tap. This will force it to refill and bring in fresh water. See if there is any imp...

Re: Leaking boiler inlet

I just repaired two leaking connectors on my S1 Dream (one straight connector at the brew boiler inlet and one elbow on the steam boiler that connects to the steam pressure gauge). What I have found is that sometimes a poorly cut ending on the teflon tubing can contribute to a leak, but sometimes th...

Re: High water pressure alarm issues

Thanks Bob for the quick reply about your old post. I will look into the higher quality regulator. The other thing I noticed last night was small air bubbles in the small lines running to the pressure sensor and boiler pressure gauge. This could have occured when I was plumbing the machine and it lo...

High water pressure alarm issues

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with this particular issue: I'm the new owner of a used LS S1 Dream. So far I'm very happy with it, the previous owner appears to have taken good care of it. So far (knock on wood), I have only had to clean out the flowmeter of some small brass shavin...
