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
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.

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.

Hi there, i am Mr La Pavoni based in Glasgow, Scotland and i will be able to help you. If you know the parts you require then i think you would be best to replace them as if it keeps blowing fuses then it may cause more damage than you would like. If you go to www.theespressoshop.co.uk you can buy every individual part for the lever models online and they send very quickly too. If you need further assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch with me at [email protected]
