Details:
This pressure switch suits Gaggia and Bezzera machines and is Factory set at 1.8 bar. You may have to dial down the pressure for your model, most Bezzera are set at 1.5 bar
Pressurestats can be thought of a switches activated by pressure, which are adjustable and usually set at approximately 1.2 bars.
When the pressure reached the predetermined level (approximately 1.8 bar) the pressure stat cuts off, as such it turns off the element. It will then turn on the element when the pressure drops again.
This part needs to be replaced if:
- Boiler is overheating - steam coming from overpressure valve
- Coffee is burnt
- Water is not hot enough for steam or coffee.
Pressurestats can get blocked over time, with mineral buildup inside the valve with causes it to be less accurate or malfunction.
