There was no discoloration of the PCB, so no excessive heat from a high resistance which causes that find of visible sign. The shutdowns occurred intermittently under varying loads or even no load with the machine on but idle. Mostly though, it occurred during brewing or milk heating operations...
Hi Martin,
Yes I did ! The spontaneous shutdowns of my E8 plagued me for 6 months before I managed to resolve it. I replaced all sorts of semiconductors like Triacs, optocouplers etc without success. It was also made difficult by the fact that I couldnt measure voltages with
the machine in an...
Thanks Bertus, I believe you are right, Armed with your invaluable hint, I found this pic from Stack Exchange which looks pretty close to the printed symbol.
Even the component designation makes sense now, CH002 I guess stands for Choke type 002. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to be a failure...
Does anyone have any idea what this device may be or recognize the manufacturers logo?
If the representation printed on the package is anything to go by, It looks like a 2 resistor package with some kind of coupling between the resistors. I have an issue with spontaneous shutdown of the coffee...
