DISCONTINUED ECM Technika V Profi HX Espresso Machine

Sorry, we have not performed any tests to answer this question. Unfortunately, the time we would spend to test this over a 6-12 month period would just increase our costs as well as pricing for both parts.

Either can be used.

Sorry, we do not have an ETA at this time.

Sorry, we currently do not have a rebuild kit at this time of writing. You will need to order the parts based off the ECM diagrams on our web site.

Sorry, we need to always refer you to the diagrams. The reason is there more than one version of this machine, and giving you a recommendation may make us liable for an error on the same model sold by others.

It is best to look at the BWT kit we sell. Unfortunately, there are so many variables, it is best to wait until everything is ordered and our installation requirements are reviewed.

Considering the age of the machine, it should be evaluated by a professional. This leak can occur from a defective OPV, a boiler refill probe that needs cleaning, or purified water. Defective solenoid valves usually do not allow any water out when they fail.

These safety thermostats are very finicky. Next step is to test after machine cuts off heating element. As soon as machine heats up, unplug machine electrical cord from electrical outlet, disconnect one of set of wires from safety, and test for continuity. Perform on second thermostat after reconnecting wires on first thermostat.

If the thermostats are ok at this point, then allow machine to cool. Check voltage to thermostats. If you are unsure, please email us.

This points to the safety thermostats. We have experience the ECM line with the ECM safety thermostats haphazardly working and not working. To confirm, the safety thermostats will need to be tested with a multi-meter or continuity tester after the machine is unplugged from the electrical outlet, cooled down, and wires removed one set at a time from each thermostat. These thermostats are under the top cover and on top of the boiler..

This scenario usually occurs when voltage changes in the outlet occur. We strongly suggest getting a surge suppressor 1080 joules or higher for machine protection.

There could be several areas that cause this issue.

First, please check the magnetic float in the reservoir. Make sure it floats upwards when the water tank is full.

Second, plug the unit into a GFIC outlet that has a test and reset button. If it trips this outlet, it may be a heating element that burned up due to lack of water inside the boiler.

Third, please tabulate how many minutes after start up after the machine stops heating. If not consistent, then the safety thermostats may have been hit with an electrical surge and need replacement, If consistent in timing, it may be a brain unit hit with an electrical surge. We say electrical surges because this is what usually happens to electrical parts,

The PID usually works better in temperature management than a pressurstat which has a slightly wider variation or delay before kicking the heating element on.

Some people question if it is worth it to have the PID. We believe it does offer a better temperature control, but not as good as a dual boiler. The heat exchanger espresso machines, like the ECM Profi Techika PID espresso machines do offer quicker warm up times over double boilers and more efficiency in the steaming/frothing function. Please call us,during business hours, to discuss your best options for your needs.

This would be a special order. Please use the contact us link at the top to start the process.

For 1st-line Equipment, we do allow the balance of the limited warranty period to the new owner as long as the new owner has your purchase information and original receipt. Please note other dealers may have different policies and/or costs associated with the transfer, if they allow it.
