Magic Comfort Blocked Brew Group Induced Failure!
Magic Comfort SUP012D
Manufactured Date: 7/2002
Power Board: MCCPUV08 / IG CS 0030-003p-0040-0041/08
Brew Group Blocked
Nearly 11,000 coffees made prior to a major failure.
DVM, soldering iron, external power supply available
Good mechanical but somewhat dated electrical skills.
Hello all,
I purchased a SAECO Magic Comfort (not Plus) 230VAC, SUP012D in Italy. I successfully replaced the heat exchanger but caused a problem when doing so. I unplugged JP8 because the blue and red wires going to the motor and the yellow wires going to the cup warmer prevented the cover from being fully removed. It appeared that all of the connectors were keyed but reconnected the J8 plug off by one pin such that the blue wire was not connected and the others wires were also off by one pin. I have obtained a wiring diagram for the machine but have been trying to obtain a schematic for the MCCPUV08 power board to assess the damage.
I could not find detailed information on US sites. However, in the past when looking for detailed information regarding explosives detection for my profession, I found that German language sites often published more detailed information that are very helpful when translated by Google.
Based on the excellent information provided on your site it appears that replacing the Power Transistor and the Zener diode (T5 and D7 respectively on my board) is the most common fix for a blocked Brew Group. But in this case, I am trying to determine if any other components failed as a result of the improper connections including an improper connection to the rectifier bridge. The motor runs properly in both directions when powered by an external power supply. I started to trace the board to develop a schematic but it is going to take too much time to do the entire board and it is difficult to limit the area to be investigated without more information.
One of the SSF posts mentioned that a schematic is not available for the power board. The Magic Comfort, without the PLUS, appears to be a bit of an orphan and much of the documentation that I have collected is from similar models that are not an exact match for my machine. The SSF Saeco heaters page includes a section for the Magic series that is blank and I am not sure if any of information for any of the other models also applies to the Magic Comfort.
I would very much appreciate any clarification regarding the most appropriate documentation as well as specific recommendations regarding the testing and repair of the power board.
If additional information is not available, I will replace T5 and D7 and hope for the best?
Thank you.
