So i have had this EM6910 and the associated grinder for a few years now, probably 8 years so. I did some work on this machine to get the steam pump working properly and also to get the grinder to work well. I did the work myself including pulling apart the steam pump. Also when i descale the steam pump i do that via disconnecting the heating element on the milk steam boiler. Just back ground info.
The other day i made a coffee and then went to top up with hot water for an americano and all of a sudden the main water pump stopped. The steam pump still works. But the main water doesn't work at all. I have taken the covers off but nothing obvious.
I did a quick search but didn't see anything about the main water pump.
There is no indication it is the low level water switch.
I think it may be the pump, or the control panel that powers the pump. When i press the button for making a coffee, i hear a click, but then nothing more.
How can i check if it is the pump and not something in the electric circuit? I have a multi meter.
If it is the pump, do i need to just replace the pump, or can i pull it apart and potentially get it working?
Is it difficult to get the pump out?
Any help would be appreciated. I quite like the coffee the machine makes, and if i can get it going again that would be great as compared to going out and buying a new machine.
Thanks
