Previous links from other sites will no longer work.

Have a number of other documents and guides for the EM6910; so if you in need let me know and I will put them up.

AM on 2 + 2 = 5 for great coffee.

Sorry to reopen an old thread. If you are still willing to post up any documentation/guides/info on the 6910 it would be greatly appreciated. Especially any details regarding your steam mod, or other mods you may have made. Thanks

Hi Beaker74 and welcome to Crema.

Beaker74

I have the collar replacement instructions, which I think I will soon have to do. Did I read somewhere that the EM 7000 collar will fit? I am mainly interested in your steam mod, what is involved and what parts are required. What is the best descale solution to use? As mine has had no maintenance done in a long time. I removed the shower screens and it was filthy.

Welcome B74 - suggest you stop, take a deep breath and spend many hours reading everything you can find here and elsewhere before you even think about starting any work. Take particular note of any risks involved - which very few people tend to describe or explain until they are in too deep (AM is one of the few that outline risks with solutions and I'm not talking about just the safety risks). It is quite normal and expected to find coffee oils underneath a shower screen of a working machine. That sort of grime is not related to the condition or state of your boiler and there has been plenty written about the perils of descaling - recommend you think carefully before proceeding down that path.

Beaker74

I have been reading everything I can regarding cleaning and descaling etc. I am going to see if I can get the steam working with a thorough clean and descale before I start spending any money. Am very aware of the risks associated with playing with 240V. As to risks to the machine, it cost me nothing, I have spent nothing on it, if I cant fix it, then no loss, if I can fix it, I get a much better machine than what I presently have, for potentially very minimal outlay. As I see it I have nothing to lose in that respect.

Micro switch is working, can hear it click. Pump works, but sounds as if it is labouring. There is a very weak steam output, no obvious water drops though. The pulling apart of things does not bother me, used to do it for a living. Am actually in Brisbane at the moment on hols. Only picked the machine up on Saturday afternoon. Heading back north on Wednesday.

PM sent :-)

Beaker74

Thank you very much. You are a champ. Was not expecting such good service. Good to know it's not in such bad shape as it originally looked. Once more thank you very much.

yeah, I noticed it at CS thought about chasing it then figured it would be too thrashed I was wr wrr Wrrron ahhh I can't say it!

Beaker74

Twas indeed the one from CS. The only way I was ever going to be allowed a new machine was if it was free. AM def went above and beyond helping me out, so for that am eternally grateful. Will be treated with TLC when it gets home, that's for sure. So once again, thank you AM. :-)

Just promise that'll you'll hang around and keep us updated with your progress! Are you sorted for a grinder?

I'm in the process of getting a colar rebuild on my 'found object' em6910 - apparently there are other problems with the machine as well which are yet to be determined - but the pump, electrics, boiler, and water flow are all working well - so I'm hoping that a few mechanical tweaks will get it all working well News is I could have it back on my bench by Friday !

does the 6910 have an OPV? if not can it be added?

C-man

I was thinking if I could upgrade and still is my modded parts OPV and gauge ect. What is the inside access like? easy to open up and work on? like my 4800.
