Re: RANCILIO S24 HELP PLEASE

Re: RANCILIO S24 HELP PLEASE
I love these machines at present, It makes better coffee than most I have out, exccept that double espresso at Tillies in Canberra Monday at about 6PM, (their san marino machine is worth visiting if the same barrista is on the job, excceptional. When I got my machine in a bad looking state I just did general repairs, cleaning with backflush solution, replacement of group seal, and a new foot from coffee parts. I have The manual from another coffeesnobber.. and coffeeparts has lush diagrams, which you have probably already found, and i have here somewhere. Please feel free to PM if you want any of the above. well done on acquiring such a workable and lush looking, if industrial machine......

Re: RANCILIO S24 HELP PLEASE
1. No! Time for a rebuild of the valve it sounds like.
2. Google is your friend.
3. Probably sediment stirred up by the moving. The boiler should be at least drained and flushed. A look inside the boiler to see if it needs descaling would be a good idea as well.
