Troubleshooting - Synesso Espresso Machine Technical Manual

General Notes:
Many problems can be prevented or minimized by installing the proper water
filtration system, changing your filters often and regularly cleaning the dust and
debris away from the pump motor and inside the electrical box.
Synesso™ recommends changing your portafilter gaskets every 3 to 4 months.
See the changing portafilter gaskets procedure on page 33.
Every nut, bolt, screw and connection is assembled using: Red Loctite, Blue Loctite or Food Grade
Grease.
Red Loctite: Seals very quickly and the seal is permanent until heated to at least 500° F.
•
To release this sealant, the safest heat source is a Heat Shrink Gun.
Blue Loctite: Seals quickly and holds firm but can be broken without the use of heat.
•
Red sealant is used on: pipe threads – all brass that is not connected to a copper tube and 6/32"
threads
Blue sealant is used on: nuts, screws, and brass flow jets
Food Grade Grease is used on: all tube fittings (flared) stainless steel and brass, any moving parts
(steam valves, steam wand, steam actuators, brew and pump switch rollers) and all stainless steel
nuts and bolts 5/16" or larger – this will keep them from galling. Re-apply when disassembly and
reassembly is needed.
