HELP! Gaggia crisis - 2007/02/15 20:37
I poseted this in the <$400 but now realize it belongs here... "Scuse me".
HELP! I can't get my gaggia back up and running!
I have a gaggia classic. I bought it used. It was working for 1+ month... fine. When suddenly, the flow of espresso became slower and slower and finally, over the course of a day - esspreso just stopped coming out.
So now, I replaced the pump, thinking "oh, weak pump"... Well, that didn't help. Instead, while I was replacing the pump, I found a power plug for the backflush was unseated. I imagine that I must have clogged up the machine some how, by running it for that 1+ month with no backflow. The buscuits were runny and I noticed there was not backflush at all when I was making shots. I just chalked it up to being an old used machine. So, I have dissasembled and reassembled the whole system, and could find nothing clogged.
What's up? HELP! Please, I miss my espresso!
Desparately detoxing in Albuquerque!

time to upgrade? lol. If I were you I would take it somewhere to get fixed. How old was the machine when you bought it? maybe it is under warrentee. does water flow from the grouphead when the portafiler isnt in place?

It has been in my posession for 1+ month. No warranty. I am under the impression that all parts are replacable (that would effect operation). No water comes out of grouphead... At all. I am wondering if it is the 3 way valve?
