I repair home automatic coffee machines mechanical as well as electrical issues - .Just simpler basic stuff that can be diagnosed with a multimeter. I do not do any kind of board repairs.
Ok so I work on some coffee machines that have dual boilers and each takes 1-2 thermal fuses. Up to four.
I need to occasionally TEST these when the machine throws a specific error code indicating failure of a thermal fuse, however I am in a quandary as to how to BEST test them.
Removing them is easy, but this requires unbolting it, sliding off the teflon tube cover and then cutting it out of the circuit (and then redoing it if its good) and I really don’t want to do this
(Here is a photo of a 1 per boiler thermal fuse setup.)
As you know the thermal fuse when it fails will have one side hot and the other dead – but how to check in place without removal and jumpering / bypassing to test? Can this be reliably done?
What is the BEST and fastest way to check this?
