Re: Loud knocking noises even after descaling

I opened up the machine and the noise is definitely coming from the steam boiler though I don't know what's causing it.

Loud knocking noises even after descaling

I descaled my Mini twice over quarantine using Endo's method and I'm still getting knocking noises from the machine. I descaled the second time because I felt I didn't do a good job the first time around and I got noises from the boiler when initially hearing up. This time, the noises have gotten wo...

Female Flag Terminal Protector

Recently while doing maintenance on my machine two of the female flag terminal protectors on my steam boiler broke after becoming too brittle over the years (it's a 10 year old machine). CCS has them in stock but the shipping on 4 protectors is a bit much. I live outside the US so it's tough to find...

Re: Fuse stuck in machine

Is it actually stuck or is the problem just that you have no way to grab it? Have you tried grabbing the end of it with a small pair of needle nosed pliers? At any rate it does look like there is a problem with this fuse holder or else LaSpaziale has used a very cheap one. Usually those kind of fus...

Fuse stuck in machine

My Mini is not coming on right now and no lights are blinking so I'm assuming the fuse is the culprit. However it possible to remove it from inside the machine?

Reservoir filter

The reservoir in my mini has a tube in it instead of a filter cap. Ants are chilling out in my water reservoir for some reason and I'm worried they get into places they shouldn't. I tried attaching the filter cap on to the tube but it ended up restricting the water flow a bit. Is this tube normal an...

Re: S1 Mini Machine not reaching temperature

Thanks! Does the fact that I'm now reading 118V after changing the sensor indicate that maybe the old sensor was also faulty?

Re: S1 Mini Machine not reaching temperature

It turned out that I was getting the 20/21 blocking alarm. I emailed CCS and they told me that the issue was with the group boiler temp sensor. I ordered the sensor and unfortunately, I'm still getting the error. Previously, I didn't read any voltage across the group boiler but after changing the pr...

Re: Machine not reaching temperature

I did this and it doesn't seem to be working. Also today, the 120 degree light and the boiler light we're both on.

S1 Mini Machine not reaching temperature

I have a 2009 Mini that was relatively unused til I got it this year. It worked fine up til yesterday but today when I put it on, the boiler light and the 95 degree light kept blinking and even after an hour the machine did not reach temperature. Furthermore, the boiler does not make any sound when ...
