Rocket Appartamento TCA Blinking Red Light

On a few very early Rocket Appartamento TCA, sometimes when you turn the machine on, the light will blink 6 times in a row and it does not heat up.   While frustrating the fix is easy and only applies to a few of the machines in the first shipment.  

If this is happening to you, contact the company which sold the machine to you and request this short patch control board cable.  Very easy to install, it took me about 15 minutes total.   Make sure to provide your machines serial number as it is a Rocket warranty item.  

Begin by unplugging the machine and removing the body from the machine.   There are 4 screws at the front of the cup warming tray, and 4 screws under the water tank cover.   

Under the machine are 6 hex bolts, simple loosen, do not need to remove them.   The body should slide to the rear of the machine.  

I had to remove the bolt to free the machines control board from the frame.   Simply unplug the cable and place the new jumper in line with the existing wiring harness and control board.  

Reassemble the body of the machine.   I would recommend testing the machine prior to reinstalling the body.  

Again, this only affects very few machines from the first shipment.
