Broken O-ring floating in water reservoir. Where does it go? Should I replace it? No leaks anywhere. Machine works fine otherwise

A seal or O-ring needs replacement.

The float system in a Scotsman SCN60 ice maker is designed to prevent the machine from overfilling with water. The float is a buoyant device that rides on top of the water in the ice maker's reservoir. When the water level reaches a certain point, the float will activate a switch that stops the flow of water into the machine.
To fix the float system on a Scotsman SCN60 ice maker, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Unplug the ice maker from the power source.
2. Locate the float system, which is typically located near the bottom of the ice maker's reservoir.
3. Inspect the float and the switch for any signs of damage or wear. The float should move freely up and down and the switch should activate smoothly.
4. Clean the float and the switch with a damp cloth.
5. Make sure that the float is not stuck and that the switch is properly adjusted.
6. Check the water level in the reservoir and make sure that it is not too high.
7. Plug the ice maker back in and test the float system by adding water to the reservoir.
8. If the float system is still not working correctly, it may be necessary to replace the float or the switch.

If you are not familiar with electrical appliances or if you are unsure of how to fix the float system, it is highly recommended to call a qualified technician to diagnose the issue and fix it.

The magnet inside the float loses its magnetism with age.

Buy a replacement on eBay for a few bucks.

You cannot repair it, but the machine will continue to work fine without it - you just won't get a signal when your water is about to run out.

thier is a puddle of water that leaks out of the bottom of machine after i brew my expresso

Hello, no this is not normal. You just need a new O-ring. This is about a 1 dollar fix. The original O ring is clear rubber but a 3/4" standard O ring will work just fine. You can get these at Lowes or Home Depot.

is the car smoking or is white smoke coming out of the exhasut pipe, could be a small leak in the head gaskets

I have had the same problem with my Saeco Digital & Saeco Superautomica machines. After much work and somewhat expense I have finally found a simple fix. All you need to do is replace the gasket which is located just under the water reservoir.
(1) Take the water reservoir off
(2) Pop the round plastic piece located in the middle off (don't worry you won't break it as is it pretty tough)
(3) Take the black rubber gasket out and either:
(a) cover the present gasket with the brew group lube or
(b) replace the gasket with a new one.
which will give it a air tight fit and prevent any further water leakage from the reservoir.

You can get a new gasket for $5!!! :) I got mine at: http://cerinicoffee.com/item.asp?cID=0&PID=90

I also put some Brew Group lube ( http://cerinicoffee.com/Lube_brew_group_saeco.asp ) around the gasket as a temp fix until I completely replaced to gasket. Apparently, what happens is that the original gasket gets old, dry rots or whatever allowing the water to leak out of the reservoir. And then all over your work surface. The Saeco machines are quite intricate but are
Hope this helps.

Replace water softner seals (Hoover spares reference: 91941698) as stated previously. Harraps were doing them for £6 each. The softner is accessed by removing the R/H panel and unscrewing the air break ring nut from inside the machine. They are not a standard size so oem o rings are recommended.
