AEG Coffee Silenzio

Hello
my AEG Caffee Silenzio is bitching.
The problem is similar to Alex 66, only that the function of the brewing group is still given.
speak with the "test key sequence"(1cup + steam + plug in) I can drive the brewing group up and down.
But during normal start the following light up:
LED for 1 cup and 2 cups + warning triangle
switching on or off or pulling the plug doesn't bring any improvement ... same problem!

>I already put the lower limit switch on and off and there was no change. The frother still works, no idea what is slowing down!

Gruß Ralf

What was the history?

There was none on my machine, except that I cleaned the machine about a year ago plus new seals and pump.
The machine worked perfectly in the morning, at noon there was the error pattern.

Do you hear the BG go down when you unplug the power cord and plug it back in? When exactly is the alarm coming? Do you have a measuring device (multimeter)?

...so the start of the machine is normal, i.e. you can hear the BG moving, then it usually takes some time and after some time the pump rattles and the water is pushed through. The rattling of the pump no longer happens, but after 3 to 5 minutes (the two cups flash as always at startup) the warning triangle lights up at some point.

Then there should be a problem with the heating. Ohmically measure thermoblock.

...the measuring becomes a problem, I have to ask a colleague.
But the thermoblock also loses water easily, I think he has given up the ghost. If you change it, should you also change the microswitch or something similar?

One would first have to know whether it is an EAM or an ESAM thermoblock. Google after and compare it with your thermoblock. I don't know if the DeLonghi designation of the machine is underneath the machine.

I will test the TB tonight, from the comparison it should be an ESAM Thermoblock.

Gruß Ralf

Is a 5 or a 6 stamped on the thermoblock?

On the block is a 6 stamped, it should then be an ESAM, or?

Gruß Ralf

Correct. If the brass is still OK, you could change to the 5mm. Cause you can get naked for a cheap price. In the neighbour forum kaffee-welt.net you will find some instructions in the download area, which you can download after registration.

The machine is now a good 6 years old, and some of the gaskets have been a bit dilapidated, so the sheet metal has gotten a lot. I think I'll swap the whole unit, thanks anyway for the great help!!!
