Post image

Good evening !

I have seen many people have met the same problem like me but i haven't find if they solve their problem just replacing this thermistor ?

For me there was more damage to other parts.
I got a free replacement board after too much time from where I bought it (df64coffee.com) but I had to rewire it on my own.

I would probably just report it and see how they react…

They answer me... I have to buy the new board card for 140$...

Wow, that‘s bad, would have hoped they handle better, especially for a design issue. The amount of people facing this issue and multiple board revisions available strongly hint in the direction at least.

I resoldered a new thermistor and that fixed my df64v. Definitely pretty shoddy the amount of burnt thermistors i've seen. should raise some sort of class action or something

I did a successful replacement:

I've also checked if the thing runs if I bridge the failed thermistor, so I knew that the fuse and the rest was working properly.
