Hi guys, i noticed a rather weird problem today when i fired up the LSM.
The left group has noticeably less waterflow/pressure than it did yesterday. Now the left was always slightly higher than the right, but never like this.
I put a single in, and hit the doser for 30ml...just clicked off straight away after only a few drops coming thru.
So i just made another one in the right group...worked fine.
Came back 20mins later, and it seemed that the pressure was back in the left group.
So i ground another single, packed it in fairly tight (updosed a little) and put it into the left group.
Hit the semi-auto button and instead of it coming out thru the spout, i could hear it coming out thru the group drain pipe like as if i was doing a backflush or ending a shot.
Then i took the portafilter out and looked in the basket....and there was a perfect imprint of the showerhead...with wet spots where the holes are, but completely dry everywhere else.
Im guessing it has something to do with either the Solenoid or the 3-way valve...and am starting to think probably the latter.
Can anyone shed a bit more light on it?
...just my luck i just put an order in at coffee parts for my Faema today...i bet its shipped already too. Couldnt have broken yesterday.
Anyway, thanks in advance guys.
