Triac failure signs?
Posted: Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:34 am
I have a new issue with my Mini V2: the steam boiler is beginning to overheat, but only after pulling shots.
I can leave it on for hours and it maintains pressure nicely, but after pulling a couple shots and some hot water, I often find that 5 to 15 minutes later the steam boiler pressure will slowly creep into the red and I get "gentle" relieving from the safety valve and lights 19-20-21 flashing. It keeps in this state until I unplug it. If I let off some steam from the wand and plug it back in within a minute or so it will over pressurize again even on standby, but if I wait 5 minutes it will operate normally again, turning on and off to maintain pressure.
Are these early signs of the triac not shutting off fully?
Thanks,
Brian.
