Saeco Incanto Sirius

[G0OSE]

Hi! I am from the UK.
I have previously PM'd wehe (user) about the 'fill coffee cont' error on the Sirius model. He did answer correctly, but told me to post in English in this forum for help. (Google translate is a bit poor!)

I have read the forum and have the same problem as others. The machine will make ground coffee fine. My problem is with beans.
The machine does grind the beans, and they do go into the brew unit - but there is no brew cycle - the machine stops/resets and throws the unused ground coffee into the waste, then the error message 'fill bean cont' appears.

I have translated most of the thread and read/understand it - it seems one of the possibilities is to change the 4.7 Ohm 9W resistor for a 5.6 Ohm 10W one? I have ordered from ebay this item - # 230799984764.

I have tried to ask wehe about this, but unfortunately my questions are lost in translation lol!

What I need to know is - am I buying the correct resistor - ebay item # 230799984764.

Thankyou in advance.

Hello!

Much better this way ;-)

yes, I think you can use it, but better would be a 11 Watt type like this here e.g. from Conrad:
11 Watt Drahtwiderstand axial bedrahtet Hochlast 5.6 k
or Reichelt: http://such001.reichelt.de/?SID=13Uf-f7H8AAAIAADO7BdM9c623a53879add29ce8515756248994e;ACTION=446

Try it with your one, if it works you still can change it to an 11 Watt type.

Hi, thankyou for your help so far - wehe has answered my query I hope the one I have bought will work - if not I will buy the one from your link.
This problem is so annoying - the machine has ony made 400 cups!
I have already completely dis assembled the machine and cleaned it, also taken apart and completely cleaned the grinder. I believe (and pray) this resistor is my problem.
I will let you know what happens, it should arrive tomorrow.
Thankyou again.

As for

I do have a multimeter
My machine is a saeco Incanto Sirius

Hi 2flow, sorry for not following forum rules properly. I have done so now.
One question - how do I remove secracy? (the german word of the button would be helpful =))

if it doesnt work it will be senseless to change it to the more powerfull type!!!

Only if it works well you could think about changing it to a 11 Watt type for heavy usage, because it can absorb little more heat.
For home usage with some cups a day and longer time between them your one will definitely be fine!
