Frequently Asked Questions

Is the gasket included?

Yes — this listing includes the Teflon (PTFE) gasket for the 1" BSP fitting. It is recommended to always replace the gasket when installing a new heating element to ensure a watertight boiler seal.

How do I know if my heating element has failed?

A failed heating element can be confirmed with a multimeter continuity test across the element terminals. An open circuit (no continuity) indicates a blown element. A shorted element (continuity to earth) indicates an earth fault and requires immediate attention. Always isolate the machine from mains power before testing.

What causes heating elements to fail in Bezzera machines?

The most common causes are scale build-up on the element surface from hard water (reducing heat transfer and causing the element to overheat), operating the machine dry (no water in the boiler), or general age and thermal cycling. Regular descaling helps extend element life.
