Hi All
Am looking for a bit of help with my old Krups 992 v basic espresso machine that got dug out of the loft when the lockdown started and lasted a couple of weeks, before only producing hot water on the steam setting. To be honest, having read through lots of posts in this forum - I now want to get a proper machine instead ...a bit of knowledge is an expensive thing it would seem!
However am not one to give up on a challenge, so wondered if anyone had any pointers. It's a basic design with a single TB - when it was working, on the steam setting the pump would pulse - however now it just runs pretty much constantly as it would on the water setting - so am getting more hot water than steam. I've checked for obvious loose connections etc, checked the micro switches work when the diverter valve is set - they do, and checked that the two thermostat-switches attached to the TB switch when hot - they do. What controls the pump in this style of machine - as i guess that's where the problem lies? (have looked for a service manual but no luck - but am guessing there's a common design for these basic domestic machines)
Thanks in advance for your help
