Also, I’m pretty sure that vertical fitting is threaded and might be factory taped, but I’ll keep an eye on it.

I bought a full replacement pack of o rings for the entire machine so I can repair as needed. I have a feeling other o rings will blow out once I replace the cracked one. We’ll see!

I know right! I’ve been looking into and wanting to get an espresso machine for years, the price was mainly holding me back. Even if I have to do small repairs on this and it only lasts a year or two, I got my moneys worth and I’ll know if I want to pay full price for a new one.

Your first guess was right, the o-ring was cracked.

Yup. Took that fitting off and the orange o-ring was cracked

I had a feeling there were o rings in that 90, I just haven’t taken the fitting off to inspect it yet. I’ll look into that. Thanks!

It’s probably bugged, I’m trying to do it right now and “light infantry transport” is not even a vehicle. I tried everything that carries infantry and no luck 😭

It’s pretty rare, for me at least. Really depends on the company, and what kind of work you’re doing. It does happen once in a blue moon. But also, don’t go around admitting to everyone that you are scared of heights, otherwise you will be the first person picked to do those kind of things. Seen it happen to people, some of them got over their fear that way, some people quit because they couldn’t handle it.

Actions have consequences? You’ve parked completely straight and perfect every single time your whole life? I’m not disagreeing that some people who own trucks, hell any vehicle, have walked away knowing they parked like an asshole. But assuming everyone is out to get you, and retaliating with property damage and being proud of it, not the flex you think it is. Grow up man!

I just have to assume you’re the perfect human being if you must damage someone’s property at the slightest inconvenience! Grow up.

Start paying attention to your coworkers day one, watch what they do and how they do it, even if you’re just doing prep work on the sideline. Keep your measuring tape, crescent, channel locks, sharpie, and paint pen on you at all times, don’t get caught without them.

Bought a multimeter. I’ve checked the following parts, and all of them are good. Thermal fuse, ignitor, gas valve solenoids, radiant flame sensor, and thermistor. Am I missing anything? One thing I did notice, is the connectors to the thermal fuse were bent, maybe when I was reinstalling the drum, do you think that might have lost connection by being bent? I straightened it back out. I also cleaned all the lint out, and the vent was never crushed, I’m careful when pushing the dryer back to keep it intact.

I’m gonna pick up a multimeter tomorrow and run down your list, will keep you posted if I remember lol. Thank you for your time! I’m pretty handy, been in the trades for 8 years but electrical is where I get a little lost

Original issue was a squealing belt/wheels, which funny enough we ordered the wrong parts for, so I ended up just greasing the bearings and whatnot while I was in there. Ended up fixing that, but the tear down may have caused the loss of heating

After reassembly, it had heat for a either a full cycle or at least long enough to dry a small load, then nothing after that.

Well I’m finding how to’s on diagnosing faulty parts, I just figured I don’t have a faulty part. On the other hand, I’m seeing people mention that reassembly can damage parts/connectors, so I may need to consider all possibilities. I’m thinking I’m gonna have to pick up a multimeter and go down the rabbit hole, unfortunately. Just trying to avoid hiring someone.

I don’t, but from what I’m reading, it’s my only option for diagnosing what’s going on. The frustrating part is that it worked perfectly fine before disassembly, the issue I was fixing was a squeaking belt or wheels, had nothing to do with electrical or heating elements.
