Espresso Machine: Won't Turn on
If your espresso machine won't turn on, you'll want to inspect the switch, control board, thermostat, thermal fuse, and thermistor. Look for signs of damage and wear and tear. Our guide is here to walk you through how to inspect the parts and how you can repair it yourself with ease.
Switches
If your espresso machine will not turn on then check the switch for damage. With constant use, the switch can wear out and you may have difficulties turning the machine on or off. In this case, make sure to replace the power switch. Remember to unplug espresso machine from power source before disconnecting wires from the old switch and installing the new one.

Fuses
The thermal fuse in your espresso machine is designed to stop if the heating element gets too hot to prevent power from getting to the heating elements. To repair espresso machine that will not turn on, first check the thermal fuse, which is usually covered in a plastic tube. Next, you can use a connectivity checker to check if the fuse is working. If the fuse does not conduct, then it must be replaced. Unscrew the clip and cut the wire from the fuse to pull out. Re-assemble after installing the new thermal fuse. Safety tip: remember to unplug espresso machine from power source before beginning this repair project.

Control Boards
If your switch is not worn out or damaged, but your espresso machine does not turn on, then check the control board to see if it responds to any buttons clicked. If not, then the board has gone out and is broken. The control board is in control of many main functions of your espresso machine, such as the solenoid valves. Tip: remember the wires you disconnected from the board to reconnect them when installing new board and reassembling it.

Thermostats
If your thermostat is not allowing power to flow through a heating element or is getting stuck in the off position after it reaches a certain temperature, then your espresso machine might not turn on. In this case, it is best to replace the thermostat as it is probably broken or damaged.
