Temperature gauge has stopped working

The fast beeping noise and red triangle on the Francis Francis X7.1 espresso machine is usually an indicator of an error or problem with the machine. This can be caused by various factors such as a malfunction with the pump or water temperature sensor, a clogged brew head, or a problem with the pressure in the brewing system.
Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Check the water level: Ensure that the water tank is filled and that the machine is properly connected to a water source.
2. Check the grind: Make sure that the grind size is appropriate for the type of coffee you are making and that the grind is not too fine or too coarse.
3. Clean the machine: Clean the brew head, portafilter, and other components of the machine to remove any coffee oils or residue that may be clogging the system.
4. Check the pressure: Ensure that the machine is properly pressurized and that the pressure gauge is functioning correctly.
5. Reset the machine: Unplug the machine and wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in. This will reset the machine and may resolve the issue.

If the problem persists, you may need to contact the manufacturer for further assistance or to have the machine serviced by a professional.

Temperature control failure

The main problem with coffee machines is they get furred up with limescale. If you let it go too long they can stop working like this. It's not difficult to take the machine apart if you're mechanically inclined and then you can clean each part.

You should check the temperature of the water coming out from the machine when it show that is heated. If it is lower than 90 C then the thermostat inside the machine attached to the boiler is need to be replaced. If the temperature of the water is about 90C then the problem is with thermometer, and in this case is only an accesorie since the machine can faction properly and make a good espresso.

i have an x7 and thr triangle is bleeping

Hi I have seen them on ebay. Check the completed auctions, also.

Perhaps the heating element is broken. Does it heat up at all? If not, the steamer won't work and there will be nothing for the gauge to register.

valve in group head seized. remove 'shower' under group head with central screw remove internal spring loaded jet clean and re-install. Then run a de-scale.

Hi Contact Francis/Francis because you need power board.

I had the francis francis examined.  It is indeed the boiler, a $200 fix if you could get the part.  Francis Francis X1 is now a brick!
