  • silvia steam knob

    anyone seen this maybe---silvia steam knob untightens itself when not in use BUT now i cant tighten it up enough to stop steam coming out when it is fully tight and all the way in
    is there anywhere i can get a service done i live in shellharbour so sydney may be the nearest place i suppose.
    If its not to hard i will fix it myself rather than post it away and wait for a ten minute fix but i wont pull it apart and make guesses
    any help will be greatly accepted

    cheers brian

        oh, thats disappointing brian.

        there is a pretty good description here on how to disassemble, complete with pics that may help you decide if you want to tackle this yourself (scroll down a bit)...

        Oh, and I believe you can get what you need (o-rings and washers) through coffee parts.

          thanks dennis--i took it apart and was happy to find a gasket had split (overtightning perhaps)
          so the people at coffee parts are sending one out--even gonna send a spare one when i said i was a c/s member how good is that.
          i think that should fix it
