If so it sounds like a bad heating element in the brew boiler. The easiest way to check is to unplug the machine, pull the two wires off the heating element, tape them up with electrical tape and then plug the machine back in. If it does not trip after the steam boiler heats up and the big red light on the right side goes out then is probably a bad heating element. the best way then is to use a ohm meter and put one lead one of the terminals and one to the casing of the boiler. If you have continuity then yes the element is bad. Hope this helps. If not let me know and I'll try again.
