Hi
Im a newbie here so please bear with me for my first post!! I have a Gaggia Classic which for the last 5 years or so has been making great coffee for me however we recently moved to Perth, WA and after only a few cups the brew flow ran down to a trickle and then no more. When the brew switch is on water runs straight back through the overflow pipe into the water container. It does produce steam and I can get water to run out of the steam wand by having the steam and brew switches on at the same time. My Classic has the solenoid valve and I am unsure if this can be backflushed and if it can I am not sure that would work as I am getting no water flow through the brewhead at all
.
After searching the threads here I not been able to establish whether this is an easy fix or whether I need to take it to get it serviced. I have descaled the unit and got quite a lot of scale out but it has made no difference. A lot of the other posts on this subject make reference to the older versions of the Classic that have an accessible valve :-?.
Would I be able to backflush even if I am getting no flow through the brewhead?
thanks!
Marty
