So after giving it some thought, and speaking a bit with Jake about the mod, he helped me walk through adding a needle valve onto the Cyncra one group I just rebuilt!

The mod is very straight forward. We are going to add the needle valve here, right after the heat exchanger on...

Hi everyone

So my S24 suddenly stopped working, and I thought I'd check with you guys if there's an obvious easy fix before I haul it to the shop...

The problem is all of a sudden the pump won't turn on when I hit the brew switch. I hear it open the 3 way solenoid, but no...

I have been fixing a used NS Oscar and have had issues with water flow from the group head. It was originally a direct connect machine but I have converted it bank to a tank. The water comes out in spurts or sometimes not at all. I have cleaned the solenoid valve by the group...

The pressure of my espresso machine dropped completely to zero..

Even if I try extracting... Its only a few drops of hot water and perhaps...

What is the function of this valve? Is there a way to test it? Mine is fairly heavily corroded and is now soaking in JoGlo, but wondering if there's a way to test it, wondering what it does, and wondering how it effects the functioning of the machine?

Thanks!

Hi

I have a '14 Alexia, PID'd about a year ago. All of a sudden, a couple of days ago, the pump just stopped working in the middle of a shot. Now, when I try to run the pump, all I get is a trickle of water out of the shower head and a humming noise.
