Hi
Normally when I turn my machine on I hear the boiler boiling for few minutes and then I hear a small bit of steam being released and then the pressure gauge quickly rises to about 1 bar.
The last couple of times I have turned the machine on the pressure gauge has quickly risen straight away to 1 bar (no delay for a few minutes and no short sound of steam being released). However, when I turn on the steam wand their is no steam there and the boiler pressure drops to zero so the gauge is showing a false reading.
The salesperson where I bought the machine said something about a sticky valve causing the problem which can be overcome by turning on the steam wand a couple of times while the machine is heating up. This fixes the problem and it works fine after that. Does anyone know what valve might be causing the problem and how I can fix it. Presumably it needs a clean.
Any advice would be appreciated.
