Under the Hood - 2006/06/30 00:20 This thread discusses the Content article: Under the Hood

I have just inherited a malfunctioning gaggia espresso and am determined that it shouldn't go in the garbage. Fuse, thermostats all seem to be fine (I get heating), and I can prime the pump and can get steam/water out of the steam nozzle. Trouble is that no water will come out of the showerhead despite extensive stripping.

When I first took the cover off for repair, I noticed that the pipe leading to the right of the reservoir from the heating block had come/blown off. The nylon threaded hose barb seemed to be at fault, being worn and having lost its thread. I replaced this with a new brass one....still no coffee.
I then noticed a small black plastic ball about 5 mm dia at the bottom of the casing of the machine. Is this an integral part of the machine, or a foreign object, which has caused the problem? In anycase - I can't get any coffee action happening. Be great if someone could help. Thanks in advance.
