gaggia grouphead disassembly-blueprints - 2005/11/22 10:14 As my Gaggia Tebe is struggling to pass the coffee and a descaling had not given the desired effect. There was need for a major clean up operation. I was therefore very happy to have google discover Dave Anderson's article on grouphead assembly

http://www.coffeecrew.com/content/view/291/99/

He was kind enough to provide some feedback but suggested I continue here.

Sure enough my Tebe has exactly the same parts as on the photographs. The problem is my shower holding plate. As you can see it has 4 holes near the edges of the circle. Only 1 of them is passing water. I have tried with a needle to scrape out stuff but this is not enough. So the thing has to come of... but it is really stuck.

I have now ordered a new holding plate so I can better understand how it is connected (and the old one is no good anymore I guess). While I was at the site of the Dutch Gaggia importer I noted that he has put blueprints of a lot of gaggia machines online. This may be of interest to the more technically inclined here.

It is in Dutch so here is what you do: in the left menu click on Gaggia followed by "Schema's" and again Gaggia and your model.

I will keep you posted and might try the trick with the showerhead screw once i haqve the new part in if someone has the golden tip please share.

Thanks JP
