Hi there. I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem: my robobrew started to give off an electrical charge on my last brew. I noticed about half way through that my thumbs would get a bit of a tingle when I touched the Robobrew sides. By the end, I was definitely getting a slight shock, and I would unplug in every time I needed to touch it (this was for cooling - so not a big deal).
I have a v3 Robobrew. The circuit board recently burnt out and I replaced it with the v3.1 circuit board and display (as was recommended). My first brew afterwards worked fine - aside from the pump stopping part way through (pump is not attach to circuit board). I took the robobrew apart to make sure the pump was not clogged - it was not). I did a second brew yesterday day and now I am getting an electric shock off it. It makes me nervous. I wondering if this could relate to the circuit board replacement (I followed a diagram that came with the replacement board - but it is black and white and only shows where the wires attach - not where the wires originate so it is determine if I had the right wires). I am assuming the electrical charge is separate from the pump not working, but I do wonder if they are related due to the timing.
Anyway - any advice/guidance would be helpful. Having just dumped another $80 on the circuit board, I do not want to junk the robobrew, not do I want to shell out for a new pump if the unit is going to be giving off shocks. More importantly, it makes me wonder how safe the Robobrew is.
