Jura Z models transformer replacement

Introdução

The transformer can break especially when water drips onto it from above. You should definitely eliminate any leaks at the heaters and at the outlet valve. A typical symptom is when the machine cannot be turned on at all, or it can be turned on, but the solenoid valve clicks loudly multiple times, the brew group does not move, and "Error 8" (brew group not positioned) appears on the display.

Passo 3

Behind the Jura sign are two screws with an oval head. They have to be removed.
These screws have an oval head that makes them look like rivets (picture 2). You need to use a special bit for their removal. If the right bit is not available, it could be done with a pair of needle nose pliers. Jura wants to keep us out of our own machines!!!!

Passo 5

Pull the right side panel- as seen looking to the frontpanel - backwards and take it off.
Sometimes it gets a bit stuck and may require a bit more of a pull.

In this step, you should remove the screws of the left side panel. The side panel can only be removed after removing the top cover.
Remove the Torx T15 screw on the front wall of the side panel.
In the side part there is a lid over the brew group. The lid is fastened at the top with two oval head screws. Remove those to remove the lid.
With the cover removed the brew group becomes visible

This step shows how to remove the top cover
Remove the powder tray and all coffee beans.
The cover is fastened with three Torx T15 screws. Those are easily visible under the covers as well as the small cover on the left back side.
Remove the two Phillips screws on the bean container and remove the bean container.
Lift the cover upwards.
If it is stuck, use a plastic opening tool to carefully pry it open.
The lid of the bean container is held in place by a small, strong magnet that loosely rests. It is either in the green marked recess, or it remains hanging on the bean container. Make sure it is not lost!

Passo 11

The transformers are the same in practically all Jura devices.
Disconnect the two red (230 V), the two orange flat connectors (15 V), and two yellow ones (9 V) from the transformer.
To test the transformer, start by measuring the resistances: the 15 V and 9 V terminals (secondary) should read about 1 Ohm, and the 230 V terminals (primary) should read approximately 100 Ohms.
You can also apply an AC voltage of about 20 V to the 230 V (primary) side. You then should measure approximately 1.4 V on the 15 V (secondary) side and around 0.8 V on the 9 V (secondary) side. Never interchange the primary and secondary sides, as it could result in dangerously high voltages.
