Hi there.
I have a problem with my Vibiemme Domobar Super Lever. When the pump gets to max pressure (either pulling a shot or back flushing), the pump ceases to make the normal noise but goes very quiet, and is no longer making any pressure. Once it happens, that's the way it stays until the machine is turned off and left for a while.
I just pulled the pump apart and this is what I found -


Seems there is a broken spring.
I am about to get the pliers onto the spring so I can hopefully get a coffee in the morning while waiting for a new spring (assuming I can buy just the spring).
But I am a little confused - I noticed this little plastic ball bearing and I am not sure where it came from.
Could it be that it sits inside the hole in the metal part closest to it?
Does anyone know?
And does anyone know what the part is that I need to buy in order to get this spring only, or do I have to buy a new pump?
Alternatively, has anyone bought a pump and they have this spring in their old pump?
Thanks and regards.
