COMPONENT ACCESS This section provides procedures for testing and replacing various major components used in this brewer should service become necessary. Refer to Troubleshooting for assistance in determining the cause of any problem. WARNING - Inspection, testing, and repair of electri- cal equipment should be performed only by qualified service personnel.
CONTROL BOARD FIG. 11-1 CONTROL BOARD - AutoPod FIG. 11-2 CONTROL BOARD - MyCafé AP Location: PRGM LOCK The Control Board is located inside the back cover. 1 2 3 4 6 5 4 3 2 1 Test Procedures: The test procedures for the control board will vary depending upon the problem.
INLET VALVE Disconnect the brewer from the power source. Remove the valve and inspect for blockage, and de-lime all related areas. 4. Connect the voltmeter leads to the coil terminals. Turn on the valve with the test mode. Set the meter to AC volts. The indication should be line voltage when activated.
TANKS Location: The tanks are located inside the back access panel. AutoPod tanks are not serviceable. NOTE: TANK HEATERS Test Procedures: 1. With a voltmeter, check voltage across the white wire (120V Models) or red wire (120/208-240V Models) from the terminal block and black wire from the control board.
TEMPERATURE PROBE If resistance is to specification, replace the control board. If resistance is not to specification, replace the tem- perature probe. Removal and Replacement: 1. Disconnect the brewer from the power source. 2. Disconnect the two pin connector from control board.
VENT VALVE FIG. 15-1 VENT VALVE - MyCafé AP FIG. 15-2 VENT VALVE - AutoPod Location: The vent valve is located inside the back access panel. Function: The vent valve closes (activates) only during hot water dispense to pressurize tank. Test Procedures: 1.
AIR PUMPS If resistance is to specification, replace the control board. If resistance is not to specification, replace the motor. Removal and Replacement: 1. Disconnect the brewer from the power source. 2. Disconnect the two pin connector for motor. 3. Remove screw securing motor clamp. 4.
WATER PUMP FIG. 17-1 WATER PUMP - MyCafé AP FIG. 17-2 WATER PUMP - AutoPod Location: The vent valve is located inside the back access panel. Function: The water pump (boost)on AutoPod pressurizes the brew tank during brew cycle. The water pump on My- Cafe AP pressurizes the sprayhead during brew cycle.
FLOW METER FIG. 18-2 FLOW METER - AutoPod FIG. 18-1 FLOW METER - MyCafé AP Location: Removal and Replacement: MyCafe-AP: Below main CBA. AutoPod: Behind main CBA. 1. Disconnect the brewer from the power source. Function: 2. Remove back panel. A: Monitors incoming water flow rate (counts pulses).
EJECTOR ASSEMBLY 1. With a voltmeter, check voltage across the terminals of the motor. Activate motor in the "TEST OUTPUTS" program mode. The indication must be 12 vdc on all models. Continuity is not a viable test for this motor. FIG.
