PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION:
If your frother has stopped working completely and there is a brown carbon / caramelised deposit on the base, the thermal fuse has most likely blown. If this is what has happened, the machine will never work again until the fuse is replaced.
NESPRESSO WOULD LIKE YOU TO either:
- RETURN THE MACHINE TO A SERVICE CENTRE (WHO WILL SIMPLY REPLACE THE FUSE)
OR
-
BIN IT and BUY A NEW MACHINE.
YOU DON'T NEED TO DO either, USUALLY IT'S A SIMPLE DIY REPAIR.
This is a repair kit which addresses the themal fuse blowing. We have 2 kits available for the Aeroccino (one (this listing) is a single use thermal fuse and the other is an automatic resetting fuse (item number 292274640385)).
THIS KIT INCLUDES:
- A length of clear heat-shrink tubing for insulation
- 4 x female crimp / joiners (2 required and 2 spares)
- 1 x single use thermal fuse
- 10cm electrical solder wire
This listing is for a "like for like" repair, a single use (once blown it needs replacing) fuse.
At item number 292274640385 we also have a resetting fuse UPGRADE kit (with once fitted, if the thermal fuse blows/trips, simply clean the base of the inside of the machine (bleach works best I find) and rest / leave it for a few minutes and it will reset).
TOOLS NEEDED:
-
T10 TORX or 2.0mm HEXAGONAL or 5/64" HEXAGONAL ALLEN KEY / SCREWDRIVER BIT
-
PLIERS
-
CABLE SNIPS
-
SOLDER IRON
You can do this! PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE PICTURES AS THEY ARE THERE TO GUIDE YOU. With the right tools, fitting this new fuse is EASY.
STEPS 1-3 CAN BE DONE TO CHECK THE FUSE IS INDEED THERE BEFORE ORDERING REPAIR KIT.
OK, Here we go:
Gently pull / separate the base from the machine body (DO NOT TURN IT MORE THAN A COUPLE OF DEGREES BACK AND FORTH TO LOOSEN IT), a warm/ hot wet cloth will help as it is often stuck with dried milk.
Remove the silicone on/off button from the frother body (it just pushes out like a cork from inside)
Take as many photos as you want before going farther so you can check the position of all wires and components when it comes to re-assembly.
Cut the wires on either end of the fuse and remove the fuse along with the clear plastic sleeving.
Slide a new length of sleeving on to one of the red cables and move it along away from the end so that it will not be touched by the solder iron.
Size and trim up the new fuse wires so that they match the length of the original.
Using the small crimps/joiners (there are 4 so that you can have another go if the lengths are wrong) crimp the fuse in place. If you are happy with the lengths, solder the joins in place. Slide the shrink tubing over the exposed wires and using the solder iron, shrink it in place on either side of the new fuse (TAKING CARE NOT TO PUT HEAT TOO NEAR YOUR NEW THERMAL FUSE OR IT WILL BLOW).
Replace the fuse to it's original position
Re-assemble BY UN-DOING STEPS 1 TO 3 IN ORDER 2,1 THEN 3
Put your tools away and make yourself a REWARDING cappuccino.
Please re-check all the pictures and diagrams before you start the job.
Although it's not essential to solder (as we do supply the joiners required to do this as a solderless repair as part of the kit) we do believe that a soldered join is the best and recommend that it is soldered.
n.b. PLEASE read the following carefully before ordering
To avoid any doubt, this listing is for a REPAIR KIT, NOT A FROTHER.
If your frother is spinning and not heating, then it is NOT fused and this kit wont help you.
Some frothers are refurbished by removing / bypassing this safety feature and can often be sold as new. This thermal fuse is the frother's last line of defence from overheating and self destruction. It NEEDS to be in place to protect your heater element.
You can take your machine apart BEFORE you order the repair kit to be sure the machine either has a fuse and is still in situ in your machine.
If it has no fuse or it been removed already, then this kit won't help you as your element has possibly gone or some other component/s has/have failed. This can be fixed, but not such an easy fix.
Some frothers which look just like the aeroccino 3 on the outside have a different circuit board and some (esp. refurbished) machines are either not fitted with a temperature fuse or have had it removed. This fix will not repair your machine however, one can add it as an aftermarket upgrade to protect the heater element.
Happy customer message:
thank you friend, I received the complete repair kit to fix my aeroccino and I did everything as you are in the place and it worked, thanks again for everything you returned part of the happiness of my girl lol
