Hey, I have a heating problem with my Francis Francis x 1. When i turn it on, the thermometer only show that it heats to about 40 degree and therefore the temperature light is always on... What is wrong with my Francis?
You should check the temperature of the water coming out from the machine when it show that is heated. If it is lower than 90 C then the thermostat inside the machine attached to the boiler is need to be replaced. If the temperature of the water is about 90C then the problem is with thermometer, and in this case is only an accesorie since the machine can faction properly and make a good espresso.

Some leaking from the group head of the machine is totally normal while the machine is heating. The reason for this is that the valve that sits above the shower screen is simply a spring and rubber ball. The spring expands, creating a seal with the rubber ball and the boiler, once the boiler reaches a specific temperature. Until the boiler temp is reached, leaking from the group head will occur.

Check the group head shower, make sure it does not have any defects(cracks, scratches or unusually large holes).
SOURCE: Francis Francis fuse defective?
Hi
If you have power its not likely the fuse. It could be the heating element or the board.
SOURCE: Boiler gets too hot
