Hello ! New to this forum.
I have been the proud owner of a Gaggia Classic Coffee for about 15 years. Unfortunately it seized delivering the goods the other day. No more flow, all flow goes straight back into the tank.
Things I checked:
Pump: still working, producing flow
Inlet fitting with OVP: not blocked
Tubing between pump and OVP: not blocked
Screen holding plate: heavily calcified and eaten away
I havent checked anything else yet, but I am guessing that the boiler or parts of it are heavily calcified and therefore blocked. This machinge did get the odd descaling, but probably not as often as it should have.
Does the boiler need replacing ?
Or just the group head body ?
If so, wheres the best place to buy those parts ?
Is it worth replacing or should I invest in a new machine ?
Thanks for any help.
