If that is the problem you should be able to get it working while in that state and a temporary fix would obviously be to use the wall switch. Try priming and see if that does it.

Yeah it seems to be okay.
The issues seems that if the wall socket is on that machine is on.
I tried a different switch but that didn’t help. So the switch is good.
However the boiler is getting power all the time and running, rather than turning on and off with the switch.
Perhaps it’s the boiler temrmostat as it keeps heating. I’m really not sure what’s going on.
There seems to be huge pressure build up in the boiler, from the boiling of the water to steam. As when the machine is switched off, if I open the steam wand valve it pushes steam out.

Edit. Yes when I turn it on at the mains. The boiler comes on, before flicking the switch ON on the machine. So the boiler is running all the time. Or has been.
So replace main switch. Problem should be sorted.
