The price for the m29 select new is about 5500 to 6000. So for one of 4-5 years you can give about 2500-3000. However I sugest to open the machine and check if their are rusting points or any leaking points which propably be white points from calcium color. Also ask if their were any water filter like everpure or and a water softener conected to water supply of machine during the operation of the machines.
If you see minor points as above and the water was treated before entering the machine then your machine can work for minimum another 10 years.
Water calcium (scale) is the biger enemy of the machine.
Good Luck

I agree with "espressonist" answer, like an old car your just buying someone's problem. Yes it's possible to overhaul an old machine but for all the work you will probably get 6 months use out of it with a max of 2 years. But it requires a lot of labor and replacement parts which would bring the price to the +$2k range. But if your a hobbyist or retired with nothing to do then the challenge can be met!

La Cimbali M34, 2 Group, Volumetric, Espresso Machine. I feel that the water temperature of the machine is high, how can I adjust the machine temperature?

Question edited for its proper name.
Question moved from Washing Machines.

Did you measure it?

Ideal brewing temperature is between 195°F and 205°F
Is There a Perfect Coffee Brewing Temperature? According to the National Coffee Association, the ideal water temperature for extraction is between 195°F and 205°F, which is a little below the boiling point of water - 212°F. What's handy about this temperature range is that it works across all brewing methods.

Page 50 of the manual

The adjustment of the economizer for regulating the delivered water temperature is made by the installing service technician.

La Cimbali M34 Espresso. One side of buttons are not lit up or working I can also see an error of E 283.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Cellphones to La Cimbali. If you put 'make model (what it is)' at the beginning, you are more likely to be offered the correct Category.

It is a Professional Espresso Maker Rebecca. It needs professional service. Contact their support direct. The first thing to try is disconnecting from power for 5 minutes.

Cimbali m29 selectron 2gr espresso machine. power outage from electrical source. when power was restored, tank heats up and comes to pressure, however no water will dispense from heads...

* You will need to program groups again.
* I'm surprised I did not record and upload a programing video *sigh*
Oh well, somebody did it already:(check at 3:57 on the following vid)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-3SbS-PU4Y
* Set up each shot with a filled portafilter (for the appropriate dose setting. Single for single, double for double, etc.)
* Press and hold "Stop" button till it light (and/or beeps). Release stop button
* press and HOLD the appropriate dose button (within 5 seconds or it cancels out)
* Watch the coffee dose as it pours out into cup or a shot glass (for accuracy)
* Release the dose button just before it hits the desired amount. You may have to do this several times to practice.
* Continue with setting the dose on the other settings (long, double, etc.)
* Note; you can set the "least used group" as in a 3 or 4 group head machine with specialty doses. Like a triple if you have the proper portafilter for this shot. Or an "American" long shot (though I don't recommend running 6-8 oz of water through a single coffee dose. Though I have found some shops using drip coffee through a triple basket and very long dose to fill mugs. They didn't want to get a regular 12 cup brewer.)
* There are other dosing tricks like copy over to other groups. But I've found that setting each group and dose is good practice. (and I have to do it several times a day as a Espresso Tech.)

M29 wiring diagram

M29 is a semi automatic machine. Wiring is straight forward with the normal variance for single phase and 3 phase. Sorry i don't have a digitized diagram on hand. Maybe later. Dosing, is done with the control board which will need replacement if its not working.

How do you calibrate the dosing of the La Cimbali M29 Select?

should be the same method unless the stop button needs replacement. The stop button is one of the most often used (abused) buttons and frequently needs replacement.

Can you turn off one of the left or right sides on a La Cimbali m29 Espresso machine?

1-Cover the buttons on offending side (paper and 1 min to do)
2-Reprogram one side to give it a short dose. (5 mins to do)
3-remove power to group valve (screwdriver and 20 mins to do)

Note if you do remove the power, please leave a note for the crew as they will probably call a technician in to 'repair' it again.

Cimbali M29 Select

Remove the 3 screws on the side of the bell they might be bolts or allen wrench screws. That will give you easier access to the screen and screw(make sure you have extra screen and screws).
