Wondering if someone can help. I bought a used Rancilio Silvia on E-bay(looks new-still has the laser sticker material on it). It was used. It makes steam but no water comes out through the brew head. I don't see any water being pulled in through the lines from the water reservoir. I took off the lid and the works inside look spotless. I don't see any leak or anything amiss. A thing of beauty, really. But alas, it does not work!

I'm not very mechanically inclined, but maybe this will help: http://www.coffeeco.com.au/articles/repair.html
Have you taken the screen off to see if it needs cleaning?

Remove the top cover and IMMEDIATELY disconnect one of the heating element leads until this problem is solved.
The pump MAY NEED a little priming with a "turkey baster" forcing some water into the pump's suction hose.
