Question about Solis Crema SL-70 Espresso Machine

1 Answer

Solis SL-70 When I turn it on the off/on button/light is erratic at being on. As if it's got a short, but it's not predictable. I push it in different directions and sometimes it stays on and I can get a coffee. But usually it's random. So does that mean I have to spend a lot on repair or should I just throw it away (!!!) and get a new one. Is there something like a wire I can fix?

    I'll try it. Thanks.

    Thank you so much for your advice. I called the 888 number and talked with someone who gave me details on how to take the machine apart and replace the switch (a little complicated) and sent me the new part with a cost of only $9 (compared to the $175 minimum for shipping it from NC to CA for repair that the store had told me about). I'm thrilled. Thanks to Cafe West Distributing in Medford, Oregon for the help.

    The light panel flickers and the reset button on the plug keeps popping. I believe there is a short somewhere in the machine.

It is likely the switch it'self. Call 888 437 8340 and ask for parts and service. They can advise you as to parts and labor costs.

The water light is staying on even when it has water in it. (Solis expresso machine)
Hi. check to see if the float in the water tank is not upside down. If thats ok, then try removing the water tank, and place a magnet where the float sits, and see if that tells the machine it has water. If it doesn't, then you have a faulty level sencor. Dazza REPAIRER

My Solis crema sl-70. As soon as I switch the main switch on the indicator ligth for water ready to start the pump is always on but the water is cold
Hi
The first thing you should do is turn on the power, then the steam switch and see if you get any heat. If you do, then your brew thermostat is bad and needs to be replaced. If you still don't get any heat, there are a couple of things that might be wrong. 1. Your heating element might be bad. Check it with an ohms meter. The terminals should read 12 to 16 ohms. If no reading, replace the boiler. If the boiler is good then the center thermostat is bad. Its a 138C thermostat. The thermostat in the back is a 92C brew thermostat. The front one is a steam 127C and the one on the left side is a 156 high limit thermostat. The center thermostat is a screw in thermostat and holds the others in. Take a picture of the wiring before disassembly. To get the top off there is a screw in the top center back. Remove, then put your hands on the top side of the machine and with your fingers push the top forward.

Trying to relpace the on/off switch on my solis crema sl70. I have the machine apart, but can not get the switch out of the face plate. Anyone kn ow the secret?
Hi The foil on the front has to peel back until the switch will push out the front. Peel from a corner. Make sure that the switch goes back in the same way.

My Solis SL-90 has an issue where when you press the on button the pump starts. Also does anyone know if the 110V circuit board is the same as the 220V one ?
Hi
110v and 220v are not the same.
If the pump starts when you turn ton the machine the steam knob is out of adjustment. If you turn the knob to far you can do this. Remember that the steam knob does not close the steam off. It only pushes a needle with a seat on it to open. When you turn the valve off it allows the needle with a seat to stop the steam. Turning to far only moves the valve farther from the needle and pretty soon it will not open the needle.

No more steam from my Solis SL-70
Hi
You have a thermostat on top of the boiler that is out. There are 4 thermostats in top. The two you want to replace are the one in the center (136C)and the one towards the front(117C). The one in the center is a screw in thermostat and it holds a clamp that holds the others down. There is a fuse also, so make sure that when you put it back together the fuse is under the its clamp. You only have to remove the wires on the center thermostat until you need to remove the wires for the steam. That way you won't get them mixed up.
The top comes off by removing the screw on the top back where the water tank locks in. Once the screw is removed the put both hands on the side of the machine near the top and with your 2 index fingers push the top forward. This will push the top of the face plate forward also. The top of the face plate locks into the bottom of the front part of the top, so when you put it back together slip bottom of the face plate into the machine, then put the top on the face plate so the front of both is flush whit each other. Then push down and back on the top and it will lock in. then put the screw back in and your done. Contact 1-877-855-4540 for parts.

Need a new water container
I bought a Solis replacement water reservoir from Green Beanery in Canada a few years ago. They sell replacement Solis parts, but I'm not sure if they still carry the water reservoir. I had a hard time finding online merchants who sold Solis reservoirs.
