Barista Express tripping the RCD or home electrics
These are some of the Barista Express faults we see regularly. Start with the symptom closest to yours. We will never diagnose a machine from a webpage, but we can help you understand the sensible next step.
Barista Express tripping the RCD or home electrics
WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE
Your Barista Express may cause the RCD, circuit breaker or other home electrics to trip when the machine is switched on or while it is being used.
The fault may happen immediately, or only when the machine starts heating, brewing, steaming or carrying out another function.
SAFE NEXT STEP
Stop using the machine and unplug it from the mains.
Do not repeatedly reset the RCD or circuit breaker and switch the machine back on to see whether it trips again. Continuing to power a machine with an electrical fault is likely to cause further damage and may make the eventual repair more extensive.
HOW WE CAN HELP
A machine that trips the electrics can have an electrical fault within one of several internal components, and the point in the operating cycle when it trips can help narrow down the affected area.
We can electrically test the machine, reproduce the fault safely and identify which component or circuit is causing the problem before carrying out the correct repair.
