Oddbean new post about login | logout World order has been restored. I replaced the coffee machine pump today. Was a week waiting for parts. #coffee https://i.nostr.build/LZ523Wca11Htdxbe.jpg
Pow 💥💪
Nice. That a Delonghi?
Yep
Ours has been absolutely punished for about 8 years. Surprised it’s still kicking!
Went to town on that thing.
Quote was 300 cuckbucks for repair. Fuck that. Found a pump got that for free as a favor and did it myself.
Can't imagine it costs too much more new. Good job
Yer these are about 800-900 What I learned is most major brands use the pumps from ULKA. They run about 40 bucks but you can get knockoffs even cheaper. So as complex as a coffee machine is they quite often get rugged by a cheap 3rd party part. People take back for repair and they make a bomb by replacing a simple pump. It’s a fucking scam
Ha, I would've quit the coffee, out of protest. Bullish on doing things yourself though.
That is insane. I have the same machine and it's almost better to just buy a new one than having to send it in for a $300 repair. Was the pump change difficult?
Pump change easy If you ever need new pump just remove back cover (5 screws) these things are security screws but small flat blade will get them out. Look at what model ukla it is. It is stamped on pump. Then go to Amazon if you’re in USA and find it. Obviously if your not 110 volts then you need to get a 240 v one. Then it’s just a few hoses and a clip change pump. Run machine before replacing covers to ensure no hoses leaking and you’re done. I knew it was my pump as during start up there was no pump sound but all other dashboard lights were functioning.
That a serious coffee making contraption you have there. What does it look like put back together?
You’re talking to someone that sands the bottom of his feet with an electric sander, do you really think it’s going to look normal once he puts it back together 😜🤣🤣
I know there’s a 50/50 chance I don’t put it back together correctly. But I bet my good mate can do it. Good to see you Marie. Hope you’re doing well. The weather should be warming soon over there right? 🫂💜
Hey Chriso, I am well thanks how about you? Yes the weather is certainly warming up, I was enjoying the coolness of it but sadly this year it didn’t last long! 💜🫂
It’s been good here. We just finished the Labor Day holiday and my wife and I took a weekend trip to the coast for some sun/sand/goof off time. We are getting ready for the weather to cool off here. We probably have another month or so and then we should see consistent cooler days and nights. It’s been a scorcher for us with 100+ days as the norm. About to turn in for the night. Have a good day in the future my friend. 🫂
