Aluciano Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hello, I recently bought a SG200. The problem I am having is that the two pumps (1. from the base of the unit that pumps the water to the air break and 2. the pump that pumps the water to the boiler) both are only getting like 2.5 volts. They are rated at 120 volts so I assume my error 'no water' is because they aren't getting enough power. Has anyone fixed the motherboard in the back or know what could be wrong. I checked the capacitors. The mainboard in the back of the unit seems to be working quite well. It has power and nothing on the board looks fried. Any help would be great or if you could post a picture of your motherboard. I tried calling Saeco- i had a little help from someone after calling around he said it's probably the mainboard. I don't even know where to buy a new one. I wanted to check if the power going in and coming out is correct. I used the wiring diagram I found online to check all the connections. Everything looks hooked up correctly. I'm at a standstill right now with you unit and i'd prefer not to sell it off into parts and instead to get it working again.

Highland Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I have three of these machines in operation and one out of service. Unfortunately, I have not experienced a problem like yours on any of the machines. I have had the "no water" error on one machine and in that situation I had to replace the flow meter. My out of service machine no longer sends power to the boiler and it seems to be something within the main board. Unfortunately a replacement board runs very close to $1000 CAD, so I am trying to diagnose the capacitors to see if I can find the faulty on and replace just the capacitor. Sorry I can't be of more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miroc Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hi, I do have a parts machine with most parts other than the boiler functioning. If you need a board at a fair bit less price wise, let me know. I'm in Ottawa Canada Mirco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Thanks for the parts offer. I will keep that in mind if I can't repair this one. Any idea of what you would want for the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrew1 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I have moved to Florida and the humidity is brutal on these machines and I am closing up shop. Therefore I have 4 machines available one still in the box. Open to any reasonable offer very little use on other 3. russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Thanks for letting me know. I may be interested in these machines and wonder if you have a number in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrew1 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I guess I was thinking around a $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miroc Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Hi, For the parts I usually look for 1/2 of new parts price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efman Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Gents. My SG200 is making a loud squealing sound on startup. Sounds like its coming from bearings. I dont use the hose water input. I put a jug of water below. Seems to be coming from that hose pump but its not hooked up. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrew1 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 OK last chance to get machines for next to nothing. Even if you use just for parts, they all work but I am going to toss as my daughter is moving back in and I need the space and to humid in Florida to operate. Closing my business this tax year.

Highland Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 rbrew1; Would love to take them off your hands. Unfortuately I think freight from Florida to Calgary AB Canada, would make the machine pretty costly. And as much as I like Flordia and have it on my bucket list to drive down, it would be with our RV and we wouldn't have space to haul it back. Sorry I can't help you.

Highland Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Efman; It sounds like a smiliar problem to one of my machines except it wasn't the pump. it seems to be something within the machine. The machine was in location where I had the users maintaining it and they had let it get pretty dirty. I cleaned it up real well and kind of tapped (what you can't fix with a hammert your can't fix - right?) the side of where it seemed to be squeaking and it stopped. I'm afraid my problem and repair wasn't very techinical. Sorry I can't be of more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Lee Coffee Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'm dealing with an "Empty Drip Tray" message that I can't get rid of. It incapacitates the unit. I've tried bypassing and removing the float sensor and any other trick I could find online to no avail. Has anyone else experienced and conquered this error? Also, Dave from Seaga has left and now no one there has experience with the Rubino machines. I have 2 units having (different) issues. I was told that Jamaal was now the contact for us, but he doesn't really know anything about the machines. I also contact Philips Saeco, and they just gave me the Seago phone number. Any other ideas for getting support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Sorry, but that is a new one to me. It's unfortunate how the support has fallen away from these machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other ideas for getting support? I assume it is one of the blue SG200 machines and not the Black Rubino machine. Have you reset the error codes? Simply turning the machine on & off will not reset them. You need to press the middle red button inside the machine, a "beep" will be heard, then display says "maintenance". Press the enter button (second button down on the right). Display will say "error codes" or something like that. Press "enter" button again and machine will clear the codes and restart. P.S. I have found Jamaal at Saeco to be pretty useless unless you are simply ordering parts - hopefully he is not reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwards053 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 #1. I've also tried to work with Jamaal at Seaga. I have been shipped the incorrect brew group twice. I sent a photo of the brew group that I need, and was told Seaga does not have that brew group in stock. I was also informed that Seaga will not be getting any more Saeco parts, and they will no longer handle Saeco parts once their current inventory is gone. Has anyone else been told this? #2. I have two machines with leaking issues on the swivel joints on the backside of the boiler. I have repaired one, but now I am not getting the last two ounces of water on my coffee beverages. Hot chocolate & french vanilla work fine. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Sorry. Can't be of much help. I've finally turned 1 of my 3 machines into a parts machine and I think there are enough other machines out there that can be purchased at a reasonable price, that it is not worth pursuing a source for parts.

From Bean to Cup Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Hey I'm down in Austin and having some trouble with a few of my grinders. I have the old school Barista Supremo Machines. If anyone has information on how to rebuild/or knows where I can get replacement grinders I would really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Sorry, I can't be much help to you on this. Except, I had some trouble with the grinders on 2 of my SG 200 machines and had to run a special cleaner through them. The coffee oil build up over time, caused them to jam up and not grind. This may or may not be of any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeDFW Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Looking to purchase gaskets/seals for Saeco 200sg brew groups. Possibly interested in complete brew groups also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From Bean to Cup Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Have you tried Baristastore.com? Expensive but should have them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeDFW Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Yes, no longer an option. Seaga is getting away from any support on these units. They have some parts, but they're not even sure what they have. They're focused on their other lines of business, so I would look for other support avenues.
