I purchased one this past week, and the wiring instructions on their CD did not match the wires in my Classic. The file attached is the front switch wiring for my Classic. I intend to call them Monday. Just wondering if anyone here has wired a new Classic recently? Thanks.

"Aubers instructions say to tap the hot wire to the main power switch on the front panel. Their illustration shows it to be terminal #9 with two BLUE wires. However #9 has 2 white wires, one to #4, and one to the brew stat." I did tap there, On #9 and it was white not grey.  Auber's diagram showed grey, but looked like the wires went to the same places.  I checked it with a volt meter and it was the correct connection.  Auber may need to update to new Gaggia color codes again. back to top firefighter124 Senior Member Joined: 2 Aug 2012 Posts: 19 Location: Florida Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: Gaggia Classic Grinder: Gaggia MDF Drip: Bonavita Posted Sun Aug 5, 2012, 3:20pm Subject: Re: Auber PID on a new Gaggia Classic   Hi, don't know why my attachment was blank. Ummmm.... Yes, that was my post on Yahoo Gaggia Users Group. I'm not that savy when it comes to electrical stuff. I know just enough to get me in trouble! :-) What confuses me is the hot wire to the main switch has to be the grey to # 8 terminal since that wire comes from the line-in terminal on the back of the machine. The #9 terminal has two white wires, one going to #4 terminal on the steam switch, and one going to the brew stat. You're right about Auber needing to update the wiring color codes for the Classic. I'm sure they'll be able to help me out.

I still have the Gaggia wiring diagram on my PDF. back to top firefighter124 Senior Member Joined: 2 Aug 2012 Posts: 19 Location: Florida Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: Gaggia Classic Grinder: Gaggia MDF Drip: Bonavita Posted Sun Aug 5, 2012, 7:27pm Subject: Re: Auber PID on a new Gaggia Classic   Yes, Tex has his wired to be on continuously. I would like it wired so the PID comes on when I switch the machine on. Don't want continuous on. Where can I find your wiring diagram? Sure do appreciate your help and explanation on this. Thanks... I know I'll get this right! :-) Pete back to top D4F Senior Member Joined: 15 Mar 2012 Posts: 1,191 Location: USA Expertise: I like coffee Espresso: Gaggia Classic PID Grinder: Preciso Posted Sun Aug 5, 2012, 7:51pm Subject: Re: Auber PID on a new Gaggia Classic   Not sure what you need.  Did you buy a kit?  Did you get instructions and if so, PDF?  You mentioned Aubers wiring but different color wires, so you probably have the same pdf as I do, kit GG.  I gave you the switched info, use the 9 white and piggyback in there for the switched connection. back to top firefighter124 Senior Member Joined: 2 Aug 2012 Posts: 19 Location: Florida Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: Gaggia Classic Grinder: Gaggia MDF Drip: Bonavita Posted Sun Aug 5, 2012, 8:08pm Subject: Re: Auber PID on a new Gaggia Classic   Yes, bought the kit, GGS. I will use the switched info you described. It's a little different than the Kit-GG because it includes the Steam control also.
