Hi, I have a Breville BES870 espresso machine purchased in Australia. I have been back in the UK 18 months and it has been working perfectly up until a couple of weeks ago. I started to get no steam, then no water coming through and finally the machine was tripping the fuse box. Can you advise where I could get this repaired? Many thanks David Warren Dawarren1972@yahoo.co.uk
@Pamela Lincoln , Hopefully you didn’t pay for the service as the problem was not fixed. Usually when a circuit breaker trips it is due to higher than rated current flow through the breaker. An example of this being caused by a coffee maker could be due to the heater element insulation breaking down and touching the metal frame of the coffee maker. Effectively a short circuit which will cause excessive current to flow and trip the breaker. There are numerous places in a coffee machine where due to component failure or insulation breakdown this can occur. Especially as water is present, water being not good around electricity as it conducts, perhaps where you don’t want it to If it was serviced correctly and the problem was told to the repair person they should have tested for this or tried to make it happen if it didn’t when they serviced it. Admittedly if it is intermittent then this makes it harder to find but that’s what repair work is all about. Finding the cause of the problem and fixing it I mean. Sometimes it is not straightforward or easy and can take a bit of time ;-)
it is tripping the fuse box for two reason short circuit or either power load is high might be connecting to a low AMP .
