I have not tried to use my machine for several years until last night. drained and refilled the tank. why will it not get up to temp

My first inclination is the thermal reset. It can be a pain to get the bottom off, but the button is easy enough to find.

There could be any number of answers, the worst being that your heating element might be broken. (Is it not heating up at all?) But the first thing I would do is check the wiring underneath. Google "Orphan Espresso" and get the Pavoni wiring diagram from their website. Check to make sure everything is connected right. If it still doesn't work, the website links to a repair shop. The good thing about Pavonis is that everything can be repaired.

Sounds like it is defective. It should boil for a short time and then maintain the temperature you set. I should not keep boiling.

There should be a small hole on the back ov the unit. For some reason the unit has frozen up. Use an unfold paper clip to trigger the manual reset. That's all I can suggest other than return it where you got it for refund!

Yeah had the same issue. Headed up with in 10 mins of use. The manual does mention not to use it for prolonged periods though. Mine didn't last too long after it started heating up

Hi Janet, you may have done all these things, but if not, make sure it is not in a draft or an overly sunny location either. It must remain at the same temp all day and night in that room. Then, use the internal built in, along with a little white cheap thermometer, and take an average. Plus of course, last week you need more water to keep humidity level up and the shell 'breakable' and stop the auto turner too. Hope some of that helps.

First thing is what size tank, and what size heater. If the heater is not large enough for the tank, it's not going to reach temp. If the tank is in a colder room, you may need a larger heater.

Chances are you have air in the line for your input. Try either filling the canister up with water beforehand or use the hose you use to fill your tank to force water into the input once you'be turned it on.

Your water should not have to be boiled every time. Mine stays at a consistent temperature until I add new water then it boils itself to set temp and remains there. Check your power source make sure it is staying on, otherwise contact the manufacturer.

Mine does exactly the same thing, there is a floating piece in the tank that goes down and triggers a sensor to tell the machine the water is to a certain level. On mine that is when there is about three inches of water in the tank. Yes it seems like it should use that water but it wont. I just learned to keep mine full. My guess is that it is that way becase if you leave the machine on it keeps heating water in the internal tank and this way it has water to replenish the internal tank if it needs it. Either way, your machine is working normaly.

Do not know any way to estimate usage -- best suggestion would be to keep a backup cylinder at hand, or buy a gauge for your tank.

It is probably damage.. Call the company where you bought it. Regardless on how much temperature you set it, it should heat up.

The top button is your answer, sounds like it might be faulty. I'm sure you've already tried to just take it out and unplug it and let it sit an hour or so then 1) put it back in the water for 20-30 minutes, 2) plug it in and set the temp. I love mine - and 78 works for my Beta but it will cycle through the choices just fine. I like the way it blinks at a different temp to show actual water temperature.

I sent it back, it didn't work well at all! I tried for several days to adjust the high and low temperature settings, but when then heater was on it wouldn't shutoff and it would overshoot and when it was off, it wouldn't turn back on. I had it in a 10 gallon tank. UL....??

Sounds like either it's not heating up and building pressure, or like there's a leak in the system. Either way, for an inexpensive machine like this, it will likely cost more to fix than to just replace.

That's odd - I'd say let it cool down completely, but I haven't had to do that so it shouldn't be an issue. Did you release all the pressure from the tank? Maybe have someone hold the release button while you try getting the lid to budge?

you might have to play with the regulators...i noticed when i have the burners off and turn the tank on that you will hear a click and i think the pressure needs to equalize before trying to start it. it happens when i change tanks and i usually wait and then it gets hot, if i start it right away i have trouble getting a high temp. also watch the wind, i have my door face the wind and play with the dampners on the sides. i have been using mine in 10 degree weather and it is heating just fine. as far as damage i didnt experience that.

No make sure you set the temp up and let it sit in the tank 15 mins before you turn it on.
