Rancilio Classe 6 E 2 gr Espresso Machine Questions & Answers
I have no water pouring out of the portafilter.
Lets see if we are on the same page here, without the portafilters in place no water flows out of the groupheads, correct. Ok, first I would check the pump gauge to make sure it was going to 9bars when the pump is running. Then I would remove the front panel and check the solenoids on the group that is not working to make sure the coil works. Run the head for a few seconds and then stop if water drains out the bottom of solenoid, we can move on, if not turn machine off and let it cool down, turn off water supply. Then remove black coil, by removing the discharge tube then 14mm nut. Next loosen silver tube nut and remove. Do Not Remove The Allen Wrench Screws. Now Turn on the water quickly to see if water flows from middle of square brass fitting. If not use a paper clip to clear and try again by opening the water quickly and closing it. If water flows use an ohms meter to check the coil. If the coil is fine then the problem is higher in the machine you will have to remove the top panel. The machine is blocked at the metering jet, possible because one side is not being used as often or a new filter was installed without being flushed. The metering jet is on one of the big nuts on the top of the group.
How do I change the
You will have to adjust the pump. there is an adjustment nut on the side of the pumphead, if you screw it in that gives you more pressure, and if you loosen less.
Tengo un problema con la
my spanish is not good but i think you have a the hot water solonoid valve is stuck open or has a piece of scale keeping it from sealing,if it is a manual valve the plunger gasket or valve seat needs to be replaced.
Water keeps coming into the
First thing check the manual fill under drain tray to make sure it is in the off position, next check the water level in the sight glass, I will assume the machine has a level probe connected to the boiler and not the level card on the sight glass. Next check the inlet valve. If water comes into the boiler without stopping when the machine is turn on and it overfills then the connection on the level probe is missing or the inlet solenoid is not closing and needs to be checked for blockage.
Hi We have a Rancilio
No, the inverter is designed to compensate the battery voltage drop . Most likely the unit has a bad connection, either at the heater (or its thermostat) or at the pressure pump.
You will have to open it and check the electrical connectors and the status of the pump.
I have bought Rancilio model:
It should be single phase but it can be converted to 3 phase power. Max power will consumption will depend on the size of the element that is installed. I do not know if you have a 6300w or a 5000w element. There is a face plate on the front with the power consumption.
Rancilio epoca 2 head machine. Lights are flashing
Machine is not heating, the lights should flash until it heats up to 1.2 bar on the top gauge. If not check the water level in the machine and check the red reset switch to see if the thermostat tripped.
I need more temperature from my espresso machine
Often these temperature differences are solved by descaling. Do never use vinegar. One can buy citric acid crystals or powder (not the same as lemon juice) and dissolve that chemical in water. I buy it in the Chinese Mall. Do not make a too strong acid. Shops sell maintenance powder which is the same but that is quite expensive. Let the acidic water go in and through the coffee maker until it looks clear. Next rinse with water for quite a number of runs. You may see how strong the citric acid that you make is by descaling something else and wait for about an hour. Another acid to be used in coffee makers is lactic acid. Lactic acid is bought as a cleaning agent. Also very strong and to be diluted with water.
