Hi
Had machine off for two months
Today started machine up heard pump come on for the first few coffees and then I could not hear the pump come on when boiler needed filling, could only hear the solenoid valve only.
Boiler is filling up but very slowly I presume it is filling with the pressure off the water mains.

Sometimes a rotary pump will bind if it's left idle for a long time. Try removing it and turning the rotor manually with a wrench to break it loose.
