I am quite new to the topic of coffee machines with the E61 head.
I own a 2nd hand La Scala Butterfly (mod. 2007) which does not heat since today ( i own it for 1 month and it worked well so far).

When i turn it own the control lamp turns off after 2 seconds. The pump which usually turns on and pumps water into boiler does not turn on.
The steam nozzle and the nozzle for hot water do not work which let me assume that the boiler is empty or is not getting filled.

When i turn on the nozzle of the E61 to get some coffee i only get cold water.

The pressometer showing the pressure is not working as well.

I opened the machine but could not see any burnt elements or elements with to much lime/chalk on it.
I did the backflusing of the E61 and i did also descale with in the water tank, but regarding the heating boiler i do not know when it was decalcified.

Any hints what this can be?

Check out (in order) your pressurestat (most likely), resettable overtemp thermostat next to the boiler element, then the element itself. If you don't know how to do this with a multimeter, find someone who does.
