I have a second hand Gaggia Classic and I'm a bit worried there may be an issue with it. I only pikcked it up a week ago.
The issue I'm having is I'm noticing steam and a gurgling noise coming through the group head when the machine is in steam mode. It does this once it has heated up to 160 dgrees and then continues even while I'm steaming and the boiler temp goes down to 145. I know the temperature due to the PID sensor. I have not used a pid before and so i dont know if it affects the operation during steaming.
Could it indicate one of the vavles not operating correctly such as the opv or 3 way.
If this isn't an issue then thats great.
The reason I ask all this is that my Gaggia Classic of 4 years cracked a boiler and it was making these noises also. I don't want another cracked boiler.
Lastly i would like to thanks the users on here for helping guide me toward my original Gaggia as it made a great coffee until it cracked.
