Linea Mini solenoid issue

My 5 year old mini started failing to deliver water recently. Checked and solenoid cleaned by a service business. Unfortunately the problem continued. It turns out if the machine has been on for more than an hour or more - on throwing the switch no click and no water. If I turn it off and let it cool down

Help with installing PID on Faema Family

Hi all, I recently purchased a PID Control Retrofit KIT for Rancilio Silvia from Auber. This kit will work on my Faema Family but I'm having difficulty determining where to connect the Auber power supply (VIA SSR). I have been unable to locate a Faema Family wiring schematic. The Faema power button has 4 connections.

Weber EG-1 noises on fine grind settings

I would disagree with you when it comes to kafatek's customer service. One example, If you look at the recent post on the kafatek forum, Denis pretty much refunded the person right away who had trouble with their outlet. Denis pretty much stands by his product. From my personal experience he was fast to respond to my email and provided

Denis gives fast response with email and forums. Truly an

Arthritis and the Argos boiler cap

I was thinking that a strap wrench would let you determine how long a lever would be needed. I had a similar issue with the knob on my Elektra Micro Casa a Leva, and I was able to use a wrench. Eventually I replaced the sealing washer with a soft o-ring/washer that needs very little effort to seal. However

Weber key issue

That's an odd response by Weber. I *think* they think you're referring to the anodized ring that's part of the shaft assembly. I just checked my Mk2 that wasn't cleaned this morning and it does move ever so slightly. But I think that the hopper funnel and bean feeder are a single, connected, assembly so the hole will always move
