The culprit was the high limit switch. Reset it and all was good. 

Big challenge from the video is the meter they used is not the same as mine, and mine had no tone, but it all worked out. 

Thanks for the help!

Brewtus dual boiler no steam

"Justin G. Castillo" <justing...@gmail.com>: Mar 11 03:59PM -0600 Hi:   Have a dual boiler brewtus vibration pump model. Can make espresso but no pressure or steam. Looking for a steer for how to diagnose the problem.   Thanks,   Justin

Joseph Helminiak <joseph.j....@gmail.com>: Mar 12 10:38AM -0400 Quick guess is the heating element   On Tue, Mar 12, 2024, 08:41 Justin G. Castillo <justing...@gmail.com> wrote:

Kevin Maciunas <kevin.m...@gmail.com>: Mar 13 08:13AM +1030 If there is no pressure or steam - it is probably the steam boiler pressure sensor/switch.  These devices first power the steam boiler up, when it gets to pressure then it cuts over to the brew boiler.  So it sounds like it *must* be failed in a hard stuck over to the brew boiler state. Otherwise, if there is no steam, there is no espresso :)   Easy fix, and easy to check - multimeter rated for mains voltage.  There is a common wire and then two others - one to the brew boiler heater and one to the steam.  THESE ARE ALL MAINS VOLTAGE.  It *will* kill you.  So some care is needed :)  The alternative is to identify the brew and steam boiler leads, then with the machine off AND UN-PLUGGED FROM THE WALL do a continuity test between the common terminal and the steam boiler terminal.  Should be continuous.  If it's open circuit, it is not working.  The third way is to simply swap the brew and steam leads, power up and watch the pressure - if it rockets up past normal, kill power and open the steam wand - the pressurestat is toast.   Cheers /Kevin   On 13/3/24 01:08, Joseph Helminiak wrote:
