Reservoir Magnet Switch Bracket - Steam Single

Reservoir Magnet Switch Bracket - Steam Single



Field technicians guide for E015 fault.


AlertSLAYER recommends all service be performed by an experienced SLAYER Espresso trained technician. For a technician reference near you, please contact SLAYER Support at (206)-284-7171 (#1 in Directory) or email support@slayerespresso.com.

Known Issue:
Reservoir float is not engaging with magnet switch, resulting in persistent E015 error.
  1. SLAYER Steam Single Error Code Identification.
Idea
Prior to performing the service detailed in this guide: Please verify float sensor is orientated correctly and reservoir is properly inserted: 

Solution:
Adjust reservoir magnet switch on bracket and relocate bracket to inside of reservoir chamber. 

Info
If performing the service in this guide, confirming float sensor is orientated correctly, yet the E015 error persists. The float sensor (988086020) may be at fault. Please submit a SLAYER Warranty Claim.

Parts:
  1. 713170010 - Bracket
  2. 463726000 - Reservoir Magnet Switch
  3. 713020010F - Reservoir Body
  4. 988086020 - Float
Tools:
  1. #2 Philips Screwdriver
  2. Flathead Screwdriver
  3. Adjustable Wrench
  4. 5.5mm Hex Socket
  5. 7mm Hex Socket
Time:
  1. 45 minutes
Step 1 - Remove Panels:
Warning
Turn machine OFF and unplug from power source.
  1. Using the buddy system, place the machine on a block.
  2. Remove upper and lower rear panel.

  1. Total of four (4) screws.

  1. Once the two bottom rear panel screws are removed, tilt the panel to unhook it from the lower base pins.


Step 2 - Remove Pump:
  1. Using an adjustable wrench, unscrew EMI Filter from its mount.
    1. Region specific machines may have an additional filter mount.
Info
The wire harness for the EMI Filter is long enough to rest aside. Do not unplug filter harness.


  1. With a flathead screw driver. Loosen pump motor clamp and disconnect pump and reservoir magnet switch Molex connections.

  1. Once Molex connections have been disconnected and the pump motor clamp loosened, gently slide pump motor out from the clamp. This should provide a small amount of slack to ease disconnecting the push connect fittings at the pump head. 
  2. Be mindful of the PPTC fuse, located underneath the pump motor heat shrink, when loosening the pump motor clamp. 
Idea
Only the inlet and outlet push connect fittings at the pump head are necessary to disconnect.


  1. Remove pump assembly.


Step 3 - Adjust Magnet Switch and Bracket:
  1. Identify reservoir magnet switch bracket.
  2. Using a #2 Philips Screwdriver and a 7mm Hex Socket.
  3. Remove bracket.

  1. Adjust magnet switch with a #2 Philips Screwdriver and 5.5mm Hex Socket.
  2. Switch should be flush with the forward facing (reservoir contact) side of the bracket.
    1. Confirm magnet switch is not proud of bracket.
  3. Switch should be aligned and level with the top of the bracket mount.
Idea
Essentially, square up the switch so it is neither proud of the bracket or uneven towards the top mounting position. There is a couple MM of play to take into consideration.

  1. Once adjustment has been made, reinstall the reservoir magnet switch bracket on the INSIDE of the reservoir chamber. 




Step 4 - Reassemble:
  1. Verify magnet switch bracket mounting hardware is secure.
  2. Reinstall pump assembly and confirm push connect fittings are fully inserted.
    1. When installing pump. Confirm pump motor has sufficient space between itself and the power terminal block.
Alert
Be mindful of the PPTC fuse underneath the heat shrink (as part of the pump harness) when installing pump and tightening pump motor clamp. 
  1. Connect magnet switch and pump Molex connections.
  2. Reinstall EMI Filter.
Step 5 - Test:

Warning
Following verification test is performed with a live machine. Please proceed with caution.


Leaving lower and upper rear panels off:
  1. Fill water reservoir up to Max Fill line.
    1. Engage water reservoir.
  2. Turn ON machine.
  3. Using the barista dashboard, scroll to the right once to digitally power ON machine.
  4. E015 error should be resolved.
  5. Confirm machine is in Manual Mode and actuate group to Full-Brew.
Idea
Check for leaks!
  1. Run Full-Brew until group is fully saturated.
    1. This may take 45 seconds to a minute.
  2. Refill water reservoir. 
  3. Enter Technician Menu.
    1. Password: 80000
  4. Turn on Brew and Steam Heater.
  5. Once Steam Heater is activated, steam tank autofill circuit will engage:
    1. Steam tank autofill may take 45 seconds to a minute to fill.
Idea
Check for leaks!
  1. Refill water reservoir.
  2. Install lower and upper rear panels.
Troubleshooting:
AlertDo not attempt to bypass reed switch. This greatly increases the risk of running the machine dry. 

Do not modify or disassemble Float (988086020). Floats are manufactured by SLAYER's vendor to be NSF certified. SLAYER does not recommend a field fix for the Float as any resulting material or adhesive may not be safe for human consumption.
