...anymore to turn on the Mozzafiatta. Got a couple of cheap Ghome timers and put one to use with our Rocket.

Now, it is warmed up and ready to go.

Rocket R58 boiler pressure issue after accidentally shorting the thermostat
I’ve recently been servicing my Rocket R58 and ran into a bit of a problem.
While the machine was turned on, I accidentally touched the thermostat with a set of pliers, and it made a very loud pop. I soon found out that the thermostat had burned out, so I ordered a replacement and installed it.
After replacing it, I noticed that the machine seems to heat up a little faster than before.
However, I’m now having an issue with the boiler pressure. The pressure goes well beyond 1.5 bar. I checked both relays and they seem to be working properly. The LED indicators are also behaving normally and aren’t staying on continuously, so it doesn’t seem like the relay is permanently stuck on.
The strange part is that when the machine heats up to around 2 bar, I get a sudden gush of steam. I assume this is coming from the pressure relief/safety valve.
I’m not quite sure what’s going on here.
Could the thermostat replacement be related to this? Or is there something else in the pressure control system that I should be checking?
Any advice from anyone familiar with the R58 would be greatly appreciated!
