Pasquini Livia 90S boiler pressure drops to 0.5 bar while pulling a shot. Also, HX pressure is low (requires coarse grinds to make very bad coffee).

I think the autofill solenoid is stuck open. Pasquini (fantastic customer service!) recommended loosening the boiler fill tubing and see if water is coming through while pulling a shot. Water flows straight through. My understanding is water should only be pumped through the HX while pulling a shot.

Seems odd for the autofill solenoid to stick open? Does anyone have any experience with this? I disassembled and everything looked clear. It is a Sirai Type Z610A. Planning to remove the solenoid for a closer examination.
