I have a 10yr old La Scala Butterfly.
Lately it's been getting no steam pressure a couple of times, seems to be an intermittent fault.
Pressure Guage stays on zero even though group head hot. Not a guage fault as nothing comes out of steam /water wands.
Coffee circuit seems to function normally when it happens but I turn it off to be safe.
Also started getting a steady slow drip from exhaust - I'm guessing seal on 3 way valve has recently gone there. I'm also guessing it's unrelated.?
General heat seems to have gone up - never used to need a cooling flush, now occasionally pumps steam for a few seconds before water. Also group head feels hotter to touch.
I've adjusted PStat down a bit but it still seems hot.
I am reading as much as possible trying to educate myself, but I'd also welcome any ideas?
Time for a new Pstat or maybe Brain box? I think an E61 rebuild is on the cards anyway?
