Electronic Boards & Sensors

Electronic Boards and Sensors: The Nervous System of Your Machine

In a modern espresso machine, every movement is coordinated by a complex electronic system. At coffeeshop.md, you will find power boards, control modules (displays), temperature sensors (NTC), and flowmeters. These vital components are compatible with leading brands like Saeco, Philips, DeLonghi, and Jura, offered with an official warranty and fast delivery across Moldova.

Myth: If the machine won't turn on, the board is "fried"

While the electronic board is the "brain," not every error requires its full replacement. Often, a faulty temperature sensor or a stuck microswitch sends false signals to the central unit, triggering a safety shutdown. Before buying a new board, we recommend checking the wiring and peripheral parts. However, if a short circuit has occurred due to a leak from the pumps and valves or a cracked water tank, replacement is unavoidable for user safety.

The Role of Sensors in Espresso Quality

Precision is key to a great espresso. The flowmeter measures the exact amount of water passing through the system for consistent dosing. Meanwhile, NTC sensors monitor the boiler temperature. If they are out of calibration, your coffee may be burnt or too cold. Furthermore, position sensors on the brewing unit ensure the mechanism stops correctly, preventing mechanical jams that might later require food-grade lubricants or costly repairs.

Maintenance Tips for Electronic Longevity:

• Moisture Protection: Most electronic failures are caused by steam or internal leaks. Regularly check the hydraulic integrity in our connectors and couplings section.
• Limescale Prevention: Scale buildup on sensors can lead to erroneous readings. Use professional descaling detergents to keep probes clean.
• Seal Integrity: A single drop of water on a sensor can cause a short circuit. Replace worn parts from the Gaskets & O-Rings category in time.
• Power Stability: Electronic boards are sensitive to power surges. Using a surge protector can save your machine’s "brain" from damage.
