    So what is its modus operandi?
    Red light when heating, and no pumping ability, then when hot, the red light goes off, green comes on, and then the pump will work?

        Normally, the light behind the pressure gauge is always on. When it's heating, the heating light is on on. There is a seperate switch to turn the pump on, and another to select water from group or steam. The pump can be switched on at any point.

        When it wasn't working, the pump was completely dead. No pump light and the light behind the pressure gauge first went dim, then after awhile went completely out. It was still heating, and that light was on.

        It sounded electrical to me, which was why I was a little surprised it was just cleaned, but it does seem to be working.

        Also thanks for the heads up on dimattina.

          I've seen pumps labour badly if the expansion valve that regulates pressure from the pump stick. Without some flow the pump will go almost silent.

            Hmmmm....I wonder. The pressure gauge on the front doesn't seem to be going quite as high as it used to.
