Rancilio 165 Degree Resettable Safety Thermostat

Rancilio 165°C Resettable Safety Thermostat

A 165°C (329°F) high-limit resettable thermostat that cuts power to the heating element if the boiler over-heats. The M4 stud threads into the front of the boiler and is rated for roughly 1,000 expected electrical cycles.

COMPATIBILITY

• Fits: Rancilio commercial machines using this boiler-mounted safety thermostat
• Replaces: Rancilio #34200058, and cross-references to Ascaso I.467, Brasilia 08703.2.00.08, Elektra 00702035, Isomac IS000190, La Pavoni 436055, RDL 14280070, and Vibiemme ELETGLDOMM165

INSTALLATION

Technician-level, this is a safety-critical electrical component threaded directly into the boiler.

PRO TIPS

• Extreme care should be taken on installation, the stud can snap off inside the boiler if over-tightened, and it doesn't need to thread in flush; slightly past hand-tight is sufficient.
• Apply thermal paste to the sensing head before clamping it down so it accurately reads boiler temperature instead of lagging, especially important on pipe-mount installations. The grease should never be used as an adhesive.
