dead steam heater element
Hello, my name is Lex Browning. I live in Portland Or. and have owned an S1 for three months. I'm very happy with the unit but my steam heater element has died. I'm waiting on a replacement from Chris's (thanks to Roger in service who's been great to work with) and I'll put in myself. Are there any factors which might have contributed to this failure -- leaving the machine on too long, etc.? What's to keep the next one from failing too?
I'm not aware of anything you could have done to cause this. Had it been caused by failure of any of the steam boiler sensors, I think that would have been obvious via other symptoms prior to failure.
I assume you are aware of the documentation on replacement of the heater element located here: http://www.rimpo.org/s1/S1Boiler.html
