Fuse keeps blowing La Pavoni Europiccola 1996

Hi, my La Pavoni Europiccola 1996 EPB-8 blows my fuses in my apartment everytime i plug it in, even when the machine is turned off. There is a tiny jack in the chord where it enters the machine. I don't see much wear on the plug but could the damage be hidden? /Thanks, Jonsson

    I tried Descaling it with vinegar but the problem still exists!

Hi That's a short it's all it could be isn't it. Plug? lead? water or damp in the base? try slipping the black base off you will need a security bit to get it off or at least mine does its a t bit with a hole in the middle I think, have a look for water that might be shorting it out also try it in another socket , you never know.

Best of luck.

Ah ha! I just fixed the problem.

The black steam knob is bonded to the shaft. The shaft/knob assembly is removed by rotating the spring keeper on the brass housing the shaft fits into by 90 degrees to allow the shaft to be pulled out once the knob is rotated enough to disengage its thread from the brass housing.

Once the cover over the boiler is removed you will see three thermostats mounted on top of the boiler.

The middle one has the reset button located between the two power connectors. Push it down and you will hear a metallic snap as it resets.

I now have a working La Pavoni Pisa Espresso Machine again and it was free to fix it!

Wooo Hooo!!!

Hi,

You have to take a screwdriver and try to bend up the platic, be careful so you not break it.

SOURCE: First Cup Is Cold From La Pavoni Europiccola

If the machine works great after the first cup then it is possible that the heat for your first espresso went to heating the portafilter or the cup used to brew into, try warming the portafilter first by running some hot water through it first.

Hi there, i am a domestic espresso machine engineer based in Glasgow and i specialise in La Pavoni machines. If you could get in touch with me at my e-mail address ([email protected]) i will be able to help you but i will require some info from you about what happened. It sounds like a pressure problem or the thermostat has gone allowing the water to over boil and build up too much pressure. Pressurestat is most probable i reckon. If you give me an idea of what happened i will be able to help you. I work alongside the UK's lead supplier of La Pavoni spairs so have all bits in stock. E-mail me or give me a buzz on 0141 425 1083 and i can sort you out.

If you need further assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch with me at [email protected]

Hello,\r\n I have a Pavoni and when I plug it in the wall socket my fuses blow out from the house. I took the machine to an electrician and he mentions the resistance inside the machine is bad. where can I...

The electrician didn't do anything except confirm that the machine has a fault that is blowing fuses. Resistance is not a part, is an electrical property of the part. Electrical current is the voltage divided by the resistance, so if you don't have enough resistance you get too much current. The fault could be anything from a bad switch to shorted terminals on the heater. Essentially you have to take it apart and check the components. My procedure would be to do a visual inspection first for bad insulation, electrical terminals touching each other or the metal parts of the machine, cracked heater, signs that water is leaking into the circuitry, etc.

If the machine blows the fuse even when it is turned off, the problem is almost certainly the power cord or at the switch. The most likely place for the power cord to fail with a short (other than an improperly installed replacement plug) would be where it goes into the machine. Look closely for cracked or broken insulation both on the inside and the outside of the machine.

After that I would use an ohmmeter to check the electrical resistance of parts. For example, if the coffee pot is rated for 10 Amps, the heater resistance should be 120 Volts / 10 Amps = 12 Ohms. Since your model is rated between 800-1000 Watts, (7.1 - 8.3 Amps), the heater resistance should be at least 14.1 Ohms. The indicator lamp should read "out of range" if it is a neon bulb, but may read several ohms if it is incandescent (the resistance of incandescent bulbs increases as they get hot).

One possible source of the problem is a leaky steam pressure switch. If water is getting into the electrical part of the switch, it could be causing a ground fault.

If the power cord is bad, you can cut off the bad part and rewire with the remainder (if it is still long enough for you), or you can replace it with any 16 gauge power cord of the same style rated for elevated temperature use. "For La Pavoni replacement parts and service, please contact La Pavoni USA at 1-800-927-0277" (from the Pavoni website).

If you check the coil with your ohms meter and get no reading then you might be able to find one from crossroads espresso they are the biggest Pavoni dealer 15413444600.

The cords on these wear at the plug. You have to replace the plug head and throw away the last three inches of cord. Purchase a heavy duty commercial grade head, and take care to make sure you have the polarized plug properly grounded to avoid electrocution.
