    2:50 the safety pressure release is facing the 240 volt three ways solenoid? why? bad design?

    • @EspressoServiceNetwork
      @EspressoServiceNetwork  Рік тому

      You may want to consult the engineer for a more definitive answer, but based on my understanding, it's likely that they relocated the component away from the boiler to enhance its longevity. The three-way valve is sealed. Moisture exposure is unavoidable regardless of the safety valve's placement. However, if the safety valve is releasing, there are more critical concerns to address, and it's imperative to promptly shut down the machine.

    Amazing detailed video
    I have the Nouva Simoneli Appia 2 Group High Cup Commercial, a year ago was the last time I used it in a cafe situation and it was running great.
    Last week I plugged it in and tried to run it, it initiated fine by taking water and heating up as usual.
    When it reached temperature and pressurized:
    • The left group operated perfectly
    • The water tap on the left operated perfectly
    • Both left and right steam outlets perfectly running
    The only thing that did not operate well is the right group which did not have any water coming out.
    I checked the solenoid it is working well but no water behind it.
    I am not sure what to do next.
    Kindly help

      If you are sure the solenoid is opening and closing., you may have a clog at the flow meter jet.

    how to solve group button not flashing error? and please explain how to handle it 🙏

    • @EspressoServiceNetwork
      @EspressoServiceNetwork  2 роки тому

      I am not certain what you are asking. If your group button is flashing it may mean it is sensing no water flow through the group, the machine is in a clean cycle or it is a boiler fill time out. For the boiler fill time out, try turning your machine off for 5 seconds and back on to reset. If you have water at the group check the flow meter. If it is a boiler fill error it could be a lot of things. Let me know what you discover.

    what an amazing video, i have the appia 2 groups, it was working perfectly, but 2 days ago the room that it was in, got a temperature of -10 and everything inside froze (the machine was turned on) with the (stop/continuous shot) keys both flashing, while the other keys are illuminated (if i press any key, they work as they should) but the machine isnt heating and cold water comes out of the groups
    i opened up the machine from every side and let it dry out, when i turn it it on, it does trip the main breaker.
    what i tried, is to disconnect the water level probe from the boiler, by doing this, the machine no longer trips the breaker.
    i have few conclusions in mind
    1: the probe got damaged during the freeze (the boiler had water that froze inside it probably)
    2: the heatsink inside the boiler is damaged (due to freezing boiler with water?)
    ive checked for melting cables or something that looks off, all cables looked neat and no melting.
    the pump works, the groups release water when pressed, couldnt try the tea water as it didnt heat up
    i know its a tricky situation and an unusual problem that could have many theories, but i would appreciate any insight to solve this

    • @EspressoServiceNetwork
      @EspressoServiceNetwork  4 місяці тому

      The flashing lights indicates a boiler refill error. Unfortunately, the refill error shut down your machine which allowed it to freeze. If it's tripping the breaker, it's probably because things were wet. Start by finding out why your machine was wet on the inside. Freezing an espresso machine is never good and there could be a host of things wrong: cracked pipes, burst heat exchangers and flow meters, damaged fill valves and destroyed gauges are all to be expected. Burst heat exchangers means a new boiler. I am very sorry. Dave

    Hello. Would you know the dip switch setting at the back of the button panel on group head no. 2. Mine has been behaving strangely since someone cleaned the contacts on the ribbon cable connecting to it & I think they may have moved one of the dip switches to the wrong position by accident. Thank you

      Hello! I do not know from memory but you can call Simonelli directly and they will help you out. Just a thought here. If someone was cleaning your contacts, it may mean you need a new ribbon cable. it just depends on what is not working right.

    If you follow the boiler draining procedure, does this let all the water from the machine? Shipping it to a new location in winter and afraid of freezing.

    • @EspressoServiceNetwork
      @EspressoServiceNetwork  2 роки тому

      You are correct in thinking it does not eliminate all the water. out of the boiler. Water will remain in the heat exchangers, solenoid valves, pump, pressure gauges. etc. Espresso machines must always remain in an above freezing environment.

    Great video!
    I have a question regarding the two group version (although I’m sure it’s non-specific), on power on, the water pump wasn’t engaging properly just clicking erratically (it seems trying to engage).
    Would this be a capacitor problem? I have ordered another one but it’s going to take some time to arrive. The machine doesn’t heat at all, although it has power and the thermostatic switch is fine (hasn’t overloaded or needed to be reset).
    What other tell tale signs should I be looking for? I initially thought it was a relay problem, but after replacing that, there hasn’t been any change.
    The machine turns on, (has lighting to the buttons, etc) but won’t begin to heat and there is no rotary pump ‘click’ engagement.
    Thanks 🙏

    I have this machine and I'm having an issue with low pressure. It's sitting at 2 and maybe gets to 3 when pulling shots. I've replaced the pump, water filter, confirmed the fuse is good, and checked for blocked valve meters. What's left??

    • @EspressoServiceNetwork

      Check voltage going to the motor. If no voltage is present then most likely it is a bad relay on the board. If voltage is present check capacitor on the motor. Lastly, you may have a bad motor. Let us know what you discover.

      I got it working again by switching the filter with a filter from another machine. Both machines ran fine with pressure above 12!
      Now, I have a steady stream of water going into the reservoir. The machine is usable, but my water bill will go through the roof, lol. I'm guessing it must be something like a solenoid. I've searched all over and found no one having this issue. Any ideas?

    • @EspressoServiceNetwork
      @EspressoServiceNetwork  Рік тому

      Reduce your pressure to 9-10. 12 is generally to high. If your filter is clogged, it will cause your pump to cavitate and not have proper pressure what do you mean water is pouring into the reservoir? Reduce your pressure and that might help the issue. If you’re running at
      12 bar or above, the expansion valve may be opening and dumping down the drain.

      Sorry I should say that at rest it sits at 6 and when in use it is 12 to 15. No matter when, there is a steady stream of of the right pipe of the reservoir. Not the 3 from the heads or the drain plug. It's like something is telling it to not stop or to dump water. I've reduced pressure and still seeing the same results

    • @EspressoServiceNetwork
      @EspressoServiceNetwork  Рік тому

      If you’re brewing at nine bar and the expansion valve is still dumping water.,you need to replace the expansion valve. if you’re brewing at 12 bar and your expansion valve is dumping water, it’s doing its job.

      If your groups were hot but are no longer, this can be a sign of mineral buildup. You can adjust your steam pressure up to make your brewing water hotter but do no raise higher than 1.3 bar. You can also increase the water level in your steam tank. Doing these things is best done by a professional tech.

    • @EspressoServiceNetwork

      There could be many reasons water is not coming out of your groups. 1. Your water is off. This would cause it to over heat too. Another thought is you could have cleaner stuck up in the groups. You can clear it by operating the group on and off to try and break it loose. I'm thinking your water is off though. Let me know what you discover.

      Clean your three way solenoid valves, or replace them. Sometimes when the solenoid coil is loosing it's insulation is slightly produces the magnet field that energizes the solenoid valve and course it not to close properly. Change the coil if it's the case
