Excellent Video. I did my own repair following your video on how to do it. I did however put in a 250V, 133C, 2 A thermal fuse instead because I couldn't get hold of a normal 4A fuse as you suggested. So I was a bit nervous when I turned on the milk Frother ... but it worked and still do. Thanks for the great repair video.

They are very prone to burning the milk in a hot spot along the circumference of the spinner. The design does not fare well on UK 240V mains supply. The power dissipated in the heating element increases at the square of the factor of the supply voltage. (Power = Voltage Squared / Element Resistance) . UK mains is often at 245 to 260V and maybe as high ah 265V if you live near a substation. Mine was running a full 100W higher than the power consumption stated on the label so that the rate of heating is too fast for the thermistor temp sensor to react so it overheats the thermal fuse blows. Woefully inadequate design. At 230V You can turn it on with no milk and the protection works fine but at 245V it blows virtually every time.

Thanks, Good luck with the fix. It is a travesty. At the office we have the £20 SilverCrest milk frother from LIDL UK. (£20) It has been going strong for three years and has been used a lot. The problem is with the Aeroccino is that in the UK our mains can go as high a 263 volts especially with the local solar in-feed. The semi-rural grid where we are was designed with transformers tapped for a pure load secnario. When the sun comes out here the voltage can go up by 20 volts. The power dissipated in the element increases with the square of the supply voltage and the thermal dynamics of the Aeroccino hasn't been tested. They may have improved the later models but the early ones were a victory of style over content. Ecologically negligent design.

Thanks for this video! Very clear explanation. I'm facing the same problem. I wondered: everybody following this instructions is buying 10 pc's of both fuses. Probably you repair just one Aerocino. Who has some spare fuses for me?

It is a design fault. The elements are too variable and pull a lot more power than stated on the element rating. My Aeroccino is supped to be 450W and is actually 550W on 245VAC UK Mains. The software could have timed the rise in temperature and then deduced that there was no milk in it and switch it off almost immediately. The lag between the thermistor and the safety fuse if too great when the unit is run on empty. The element burns out before the micro turns off the power. Schoolboy design.

That was really cool, well explained. But just as I was about to open mine up and test the heat fuse, my daughter pointed out that the 'aero wasn't sitting flush on the power knob, and on inspecting the base of the 'aero I could see that the outer copper/brass electric contact had been crushed by someone (?) ramming the 'aero onto its base. Delicate retrieval using two micro-screwdrivers got the contact straight but 'aero still not working. Maybe the contact is too straight??

Unlikely to be the fuse. They usually just go open and that is that. It could be the contacts on the bottom of the heating element. When you put warm in the container changes shape due to expansion and the contacts make. If you see any evidence of spark then clean them and bend them to make a firmer contact.

Thank you so much for this. You are a GENIUS! Quick question, I got the Nespresso Milk Frother model for 220v but now I'm in a different country where the standard is 110v.

Do you think I would have a light at the end of the tunnel through internal wiring connections in the milk frother?

@razenby

Thanks. I did consider it but the resettable 250V fuses I could find were thermally quite bulky and slow. Without full safety test I could not really recommend something that may have unintended safety consequences. The problem is with the thermal design. If there is small amount of water it pools over the thermistor so the micro does not get notice of the overheat condition until it is too late. It is exacerbated in the UK because the mains voltage can go up to 265V, Also did you notice that the unit I was testing was drawing 50 watts more power than rated on the label? The dynamics of the thermal design are flawed.

Thx. We already have Aeroccino #4. Maybe this helps to recover one or another. :-)

Unplug first!! then open up and check the resistance of the heating element with a multi meter set to ohms. Should be around 80 to 120 ohms. Then check that no water has got inside and inspect the contacts that engage with the socket in the base of the outer can and the contacts that press onto the heating element to deliver the power. See if they are burnt or bent. Good luck

Once you get it to take and start just move it (rotate) the body on the supply base to see if you have a bad contact. If OK and the connection between the base and the body base is not intermittent, take the can off and check that the spring contacts are making Ok where the mains is delivered to the controller. Otherwise t is likely to be the Switched-Mode Power Controller or perhaps an aluminium electrolytic capacitor gone low in value. Inspect the controller closely with a spyglass - you may be able see some traces of scorching where there is a bad component solder joint. Otherwise you will need test equipment and electronic know-how to fix it.

The most likely cause of a solid blue light is that the micro-controller is not starting correctly. Often this is just a bad low-power DC rail is bad and the the micro itself. Also check for a stuck/closed tact witch. Check Off-line PWM regulator chip and its associated capacitors.

Our Aeroccino 3 bought in 2018 has failed. Have watched your videos with interest but . . . When we switch our Aeroccino on, the red light glows, the spinner tries to start rotating (but manages about half a revolution) and we can hear the liquid starting to heat, but after a few seconds the red light starts to flash and the heater stops heating the liquid.

Hi Rick . That is interesting the original version had 133 Deg Celcius. I keep getting asked so I will get some in. What is the 222R if teh fuse is blown and you have other faulty components likely the TNY chip has blown.

My frother doesn't have the thermal cut out just the red wire. What could that be? Cheers.

I think the very first ones relied upon a fusible link on the heating element. When this blew the device was scram as the whole body of the frother had to be changed. To cut down warranty costs, instead of fixing the thermal issues on 240 UK mains they added a separate thermal fuse link to simplify the repair. This is a cheat product that has cost most buyers dearly. Bad engineering and design.

My Nespresso has a thermal fuse only. Why have you replaced with both the 133deg thermal and 3amp fuses?

@tommerisia4565

Because the original thermal fuse has a 3amp rating, the replacement has a 15 amp rating.

Many people comment online that over time it looses power and it doesn’t spin as strongly. Is there any repairs for that problem? Thank you.

Make sure that the whisk is very clean. I had that problem and I believe that it may me the magnetic coupling that drives couples the motor shaft to the whisk has weakened (lost flux/Strength). When they get older they tend to rattle too and it does not appear to be wear in the motor of the whisk. The rattle is the magnetic drive jumping. If you have LIDL store look out for their milk frother (~£20). I have one here now and have bought them for my kids. The office coffee would burn through and Aeroccino in about a year, The SIlverCrest It is a similar design to the Aeroccino except that it is a work horse that keeps on going.

Congratulation... One question...what valor is the resistor, your put with the fue? Thanks a lo..

Interesting idea. The power of the heater that can be driven by the relay power should be limited to about 600W. If greater than this then use a seperate mains coil relay.

But, @ 1 hour after I contacted you, they phoned me saying they will repair mine and not just supply me with a new one. I hope it works out, I cannot stomach that we humans are destroying the planet with our wasteful lifestyles. I really respect your repair capabilities.

Dear Magic Smoke, thank you for your videos. I live in Tokyo Japan. How do you think I should go about getting parts to fix this myself. I really do not want to contribute to the worlds’ garbage problem.

I have a Aeroccino 2, I think the successor to this one, with a similar problem. Sometimes it works, sometimes it goes into overheat protection after a few seconds only. I've just refluxed the heating element, like here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aqadl9ysYcmqf7w.html&ab_channel=dhavemann, but this didn't help. Also bent the copper contacts a little to give it more tension and spread the existing thermal paste a little, because that looked messy. Do you think I should incorporate your fix with the thermal resistor as well? Or could it be something different? I don't know too much about circuitry, but I know how to solder.

@razenby

3 жыл бұрын

Hmm, difficult to say. If you want to send It i'll take a look. Would make an interesting video. Could be a power glitch or the micro crashing, bad connecting wire, solder joint etc.. I guess you have checked that the AC power connection on the base is sound? A power dip on these isn't managed well and the micro crashes. Check for a sticking power relay for the heater etc... Could be any number of problems. How old is the one you have and what is the model number? It would be interesting to see.

Thanks for your quick reply! I didn't check any of this yet, but the cold operation mode works flawlessly, so I assume the AC power is ok?

Yes I did, I could order some more. I got a bit Pissed with eBay summarily refunding people because their Aeroccino was suffering from a different problem not relating to a thermal fuse. Some clearly hadn't watched the video linked to in the listing and a few were quite belligerent. It was not for profit endeavor but it was annoying me as it seemed to be playing out the old adage 'no good deed goes unpunished'. eBay were trying to outdo the Amazon returns policy and expecting the sellers to carry the 5 to 10% loss by increasing prices. I realised what was happening when I ordered some 2 pin CCF bulbs instead of the 4 pin when I went to return them due to my error they just refunded me straight away without needing to return the bulbs... Ridiculous. They claim to have changed their ways to 'protect' he sellers more - their language gives them away. They have no interest in decency as they would say that their strives to be fair to both buyers and sellers. I ddn't want to be associated with eBay. They would rather see something thrown into landfill that returned for resale.
