Back panel, lower left corner. Mine has a big "Thermal Reset" tag to the right of the reset.

The on and off switch is the knob near the lower left corner. Turned all the way down is off. We had one come on and run several hours while we were gone. After that, we started turning the circuit breaker off. Another option would be to get one without the knob (or keep the knob turned all the way up) and control it with a separate wall thermostat. The elements constantly fail. I wouldn't purchase one again. I had one in our shed for extra parts to keep the three in the house running all the time. It was an annual expectation that I would have to fix at least one of the three. We no longer have any. The on and off switch is the knob near the lower left corner. Turned all the way down is off.

Before you spend to replace parts, try to fix it yourself. Unscrew the top and take it off so you can see inside. You will have to lift out the water container to get the top off so you can look into it. (After unplugging it, of course!) There are three thermostats, two on the top and one on the side of the boiler. Locate the side one, there is a red button on the top of this thermostat. Press this button. You may not hear a thing, but do it anyway. Now replace the top, plug in and see if it works. This is a reset button--the boiler may have overheated. If it doesn't work, at least you tried! Then you can looks for somewhere to spend your money trying to get it fixed. Will Rancilio do anything for you as far as repairs? One other thing I should mention, if it is heating (feels warm on top on the lid when you touch it), but no water comes out, you may have to prime it. Fill with water, make sure both plastic tubes are to the bottom of the water container, turn on the middle switch of the three on the left, then turn on steam wand handle counter clockwise, now turn on power. (Main switch) In about 15 seconds a stream of water should come out of the wand, so have a glass under there! Now it's ready to be used again.

Michael, did you get the problem solved? I have the same issue and was told to try a Siemens breaker.

I have checked mine and there is no apparent switch or controller, I read the manual and no mention of either, I checked their web site and no mention, I checked reviews on the Internet and nothing. SO, I'd have to say "NO". Anything will stop if the circuit breaker pops or the motor burns up or the cable breaks.

Be sure the vacuum is unplugged. There should be 2 or 4 screws (i forget) in the back. Once removed the switch cover falls forward revealing the switch. The switch just slides out of its channel. Remove the two wires and reconnect to the new switch. Slide the new switch back in the channel and install switch cover back on. Plug in and give it a try!

I am a hvac tech, it should just resume normal operation. I would check your breakers if it's not coming on more than likely you have an issue elsewhere.

I doubt if many/any of us have tripped the breaker, so you might not get a solid answer. I've been using two of these for 18 months or so, and have never pushed them that far (nor would I recommend you try to run &gt;15 amps). But it's a circuit breaker, not a fuse, so you should just be able to press the reset button (after reducing the load, obviously!) Hopefully you'll get someone to answer who's actually tripped the breaker, but in absence of that, I wouldn't be concerned about it; that's how a circuit breaker works.

Sorry, I don't remember. I do know I cannot run another heater in the room at the same time or it would shut off the circuit breaker.

I believe that means it's overheated and has tripped an internal safety breaker switch. It should reset itself when it cools down. Make sure there is nothing obstructing air to the unit and that the blower fan is operating ok.

I had similar problem when i first used it. I called them and they sent me a new power circuit board. it took an hour to install the new one. that unit is NOT a good at all. it is not worth the money.

Hi there...my keurig machine is 3.5 years old and has never ever tripped the breaker in my kitchen. Until today...tried plugging it in 3 or 4 times...different outlets....unplugged everything in the kitchen. I'm pretty sure mine has a short so since it has NEVER tripped the gfci before today I'm just going to put it in the bin.

Mark, This seems to be a common problem with these units. I don't have mine anymore because Consumer Reports Took away their recommendation because some of them were catching on fire. When I did have it, I solved the drain hose issue by gluing in a stopper with silicone glue. I can't remember exactly where the stopper went, but some close examination should allow you to figure out where to put the stopper. It was a small drain hole. Check on google re the fire issue. You may want to try to return it if you can. I got a Frigidare unit which is working fine.

Did you plug it directly into a wall plug or use and extension cord? Extension cord could be bad. Check outlet to verify it is active. If all this checks out then it's possible you have a bad switch or perhaps an inline fuse is blown. Call the company and see if they have a tech who can work with you. I just plugged mine into the wall inlet and it started up just fine. Good Luck.

Finally got hold of someone in customer service at Optimus and he said that it sounded like a thermostat regulator and that instead of going off when it reaches the tempature set for it shuts off and needs to be replaced. He said it wasn't a fire hazard. But you have to pay to ship it back to be repaired or replaced and to pay to have it sent back to you. They are located in Anaheim, CA for those interested. Thanks for trying to help.

I have tried several ways to unclog it, but to no avail. If you call the company, they'll send you a replacement, but not before asking you a lot of stupid questions and finding some way to make it *your* fault.

Hi Larry, it looks like you ain't got a cloue on how this thing works! Just follow instructions and take the machine off the heat after it stops gurgeling.- Everything will be alright...the General...
