Hey guys,
my apologies for the noob questions, I have searched the archives but didnt come across the info or more importantly the advice I am seeking.
We bought a 6910 on mothers day so weve had it for just over a month and got a 480 grinder a week later. I was as happy as a dog with a tin willy.
Last week I noticed the group would occasionally leak (more than dripping less than gushing) water during the extraction, and also noticed that the shot was no longer syrup like and lost richness of taste.
I was adjusting the grind and the dose but still leaking. I made sure rim of gh was clean.
I was suspecting the couple of times that I had overdosed and 2 times I had choked the machine due to too fine a grind may have backed the 6910 up with some grinds. So, last night I removed the shower screen as per manual to find it was fairly gummed up. I cleaned the machine using a cleaning tablet and rubber insert. I removed the shower screens and found they required further cleaning. I checked the blue seal, gave it a wipe and returned all parts to original positions. Gave it a run and still leaking.
I was expecting the seal to be the problem (as per other previous posts I read) but it contained no splits :-?
So, here I sit, in the corner, slowly rocking back and forth, and in need of some wisdom from the Yodas of coffee.
Brent.
