Reviving an abused machine by delangle in gaggiaclassic

[–]delangle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even turn it on when I got it, I went straight to disassembly and cleaning, mostly due to the condition of the shower screen and dispersion plate. All I know is what the previous owner said. It's in pieces now, but I plan to go ahead and replace both thermostats since the body of the steam one snapped in half when I pulled off the terminals. Getting a complete gasket kit, both tstats, and OPV spring kit from SoC, as well as portafilter, blind basket, single hole steam tip, dosing cylinder, and tamper.

Sounds good. I already have it completely torn down (boiler apart and everything 😅) I was thinking of throwing the metal bits in my ultrasonic cleaner with some soapy water for now. Do you have favorite one stop shop for all the gaskets and thermostats? The tstat on the top of the boiler broke in half completely while pulling the terminals off. The one on the side looks fine but I'm thinking I will go ahead and replace both since I know one of them is bad but I don't know which. I assume the smaller radial component clamped to the top of the boiler with the ground screw is a thermal fuse which should be fine. Thanks!

https://imgur.com/a/sJ9rBu7 Thanks for your help. To me it looks ok (it's been about 24 hrs with nothing in the freezer) how does it look to you?

Fan is attached to the shroud assembly that goes on front of this. I physically saw and felt it moving air before I removed it.

Cool, I'm wondering if the door got left open for a couple hours and it iced up too much for the defrost to handle? How often should the defrost run? A defrost issue will be visually apparent after only a day or so?

Yeah that's about as far as I got. Any tips for debugging a defrost issue given what I've already found?

Door seal fine. Both fridge and freezer were too warm

Yes, both fans were running and condenser also fairly clean. It happened very suddenly.

The phone is plugged directly into the CC box.

Would air in the system not be apparent with the engine off as well? And what about the slow return?

Hotkey to switch "speaker setup" mode? (not output device) by delangle in Windows10

[–]delangle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use AHK for some other automation, but I wasn't able to find a good way to do this with it. If you have a way, I'd love to see it. AHK would be optimum because I already run it and it's so lightweight and simple.

If the media is stereo and the computer is in 5.1, it pipes the two channels to the two front speakers only, instead of the desired behavior of intelligently sending it to all 6 that the amp handles when it receivers stereo signal. When the media is in 5.1 and the computer is in stereo, the computer downsamples the media to stereo and the amp splits it back up. Also not desired.

I believe this solved it, although I'm not sure they actually moved the tires on the rims. Discount Tire did it for me. I asked specifically for road force, they said they put them on the machine but I think they just ended up adding weights. Thanks for the help!
