That's the one! If they're not giving you free shipping, I'm always a fan of having another on hand, and ordering at least one more might save some money; assuming that was your problem, you've got another pair of solenoids that could have issues down the road. There is also a small gasket inside th...

Did you replace and lubricate the o-ring or just lubricate? If the latter, you should try replacing it

So the issue was the expansion valve/bypass. This worked: With the machine off, loosen the bypass on the pump all the way, then retighten 2 full turns. Tighten the expansion valve all the way then back off an 1/8th of a turn (for me full tightening meant locked, as in I couldn't easily loosen

Here is a picture of the two tubes in the newly received old cool touch wand. {image} The tube LMZ cut was actually 3" too short, so I turned the steam assembly upside down. {image}

Is it on a dedicated circuit?

I would think either you're not getting a good seal (cd be the basket, gasket, ears not locked in) or there's a pressure problem (over dosing, too fine a grind, pump or hydraulic problem). Usually over dosing or to find a grind result in water coming out of a safety valve as pressure builds up in th...

I set the expansion valve during warm up. It is closed completely although the boiler pressure during warm up never reaches 12. It usually hits 10.5, a few dribbles of water come out, then drops back down to ~10.1 and hovers there; it cannot turn further closed though the dribbling of water stops. D...

Hi! I've finally rebuilt a 2007/2008 GS3 and it is working perfectly - except for the Expansion Valve. When I run a shot, it ejects a large amount of water despite the pressure only reaching 9 bars. I've replaced it with a brand new one (the OG spring was bent and rusted) and have tried tightening a...

I tried using several hooks, but I couldn't get it. Eventually, I replaced the whole steam wand assembly to the tune of $356. At some point, given that I got the tubing for <$20, I will get that bit of old tubing out and replace it. It is worth confirming from the new steam wand: there are two

Is the water hot that's coming out of the steam boiler? It sounds like you still haven't found the short circuit (ie, it wasn't the rocker switch)...assuming it's a short
