I think I need a new heating element for a Capresso 452. Are these available anywhere?

Hi, the best thing to do here is get a new element, which you can get from the manufacturer, or eBay, just have your make and model at hand,
I hope this helps

Just a guess here but if you are not using soft water you may have a hard water scale coating on the sensor. The sensor is preventing the heating element from powering up because it thinks there is no water. Try filling the machine with vinegar for several hours (no more than overnight) This will dissolve hard water deposits and hopefully clear the sensor. (the sensor should be a simple continuity contact. If you can look inside and see a metal button and it is fouled clean it off.)

Check the elements. Unit heats water and forces that heated water out.

Hi
Probably an internal Element has gone open circuit.
Machine is smart & senses not heating up so don't let water through.
Mine did the same thing. So I pulled it apart (with photos)
Found the heater element (Open). Found a replacement element after 6 weeks and replaced it in 2 hours.

Back to getting great coffee.. Ahhh

Here's an instruction video for a coffee maker like this.

check the heating element , with a test meter, hot water does not boil up to the cup if there is no heat ....

Fantastic deal! I'm jealous. I'm on my second one and I paid about $200 each time! Here's the manual

Where is NA? Have you tried some websites for part resources? I found your part available at partstore.com. If you type in your model number, I found your element on page 15 as part #3387749. It lists for about $60. I hope this gives you a little more hope.
