Can you be more explicit as to the location of the Vacation Switch best regards Can you be more explicit as to the location of the Vacation Switch best regards

hello,The Micro fuse is shorted open. There are two underneath the housing. They are made by MICROTEMP® and are the G400 series rated at 216 Degrees Centigrade.

You
can check these with a Ohm meter to see if you have continuity.
Checking across the leads of each one they should show infinity. If not
you've identified the bad one. You can pick up a new thermal fuse at
Radio Shack. The closest one to the specs of the Microtemp is a Radio
Shack part number 270-1321 rated at 228 Degrees Centigrade. Before
removing the old one notice which way the hat end faces.
Use a heat
sink when soldering the new thermal fuse in place by using alligator
clips or a pair of pliers.Reassemble and your back in business as a
Barista.

Note: There are four Phillips head screws under the
rubber pads. The three unusual screw heads may be removed/installed
with a small screwdriver installed in just one of the slot......

OR



The thermal breaker has died in it. This is usually mounted on, or near
the heating elementm and usually turns off when excessive temperatures
are present (such as when a pot boils dry, or the unit is left on for
days) It can be checked with a ohm meter on its contacts. If it shows
as good, it should show up as normally closed. Some overtemp breakers
have a small button for resetting, but most are simply supposed to
reset themselves once the heat is sufficiently reduced. There are also
heat fuses that blow...for good when excessive heat is detected,
mounted in the same place, they are often a metal bullet shaped tube.
OR.....your power cord...or main power switch could also be faulty.
WISH YOU GOOD LUCK,

TAKE CARE.
