and then it went BOOM!

ok so today i went to make a coffee on my old trusty em6910 but when it started extracting there was a loud BANG noise then the lights went out and the machine ground to a halt

subsequent attempts to turn it on just resulted in tripping the safety switch - Im going to go out on a limb here, but I think its buggered!

Any amateur sleuths out there?

cheers,

pat

Catastrophic short somewhere. Mark Watts will know more. Contact him via Facebook for the good oil on a service and burial for your former coffee machine 🙁 Sincere condolences!

Zikes!!! Sorry to hear, a loud bang noise is so surprising from an espresso machine! Unless the machine was just incredibly loving what it was extracting and got excited for you? [emoji14]

Ive still got the rancilio epoca so im ok for now but a loss is still a loss and yes ill contact mark for some advice but i suspect that a replacement will be cheaper than a repair in this case! p
