Breville Dual Boiler 920 little flow through group head
You can see the position of the power wires in the attached picture You could check if the solenoid is supplied with the rated voltage and opens fully, it's more difficult if you don't have a voltmeter and knowledge of electricity. I don't know how you maintain the machine and what water you use to brew coffee, but you can
