Saw this crazy deal on Marketplace and want to act fast. Apparently the steam boiler doesn't consistently heat up, and it seems to be a relatively cheap fix according to quick reddit sleuthing. I'm a broke college student with an ECP 3630 and this feels like a gift from on high. Help!

Yes 100%. Change the SSR. It’s 15m.
Maybe a scam?
Just be careful on Scambook Marketplace.
Definitely. If you like tinkering , shouldn’t be too difficult.
Do it
I’m in a similar boat. I’ve got an ECM classika that the central module went out on. I’m out of the hobby and it’s just sitting in the box as I was gonna send it to be fixed but don’t really care to at this point. But if I post it for next to nothing people will think I’m scamming.
Haha, for my pp300 for 500€. Go for it, worst case scenario, you bought replacement parts, sell individual parts on eBay
If the boiler is broken (heating element?) and not a scam it looks like it’s in new condition. Don’t see a single scratch on it.
Yes definitely worth it
It was also just listed near me on marketplace lol. Not even bothering with sending a message
Make sure to remove the heat sticker — probably caused the problem
If you can get it, go for it! Not super familiar with Profitec but that looks like an E61 style machine, and those all use standard parts for the important things. Your local espresso tech will be able to help with anything you can’t do yourself
