I noticed some corrosion and a slight pressure leak at the water level sensor probe. I went to remove the fitting to install a fresh Teflon insert I had, one tiny turn of the wrench and off she went. My first thought was well that's odd, it was only hand tight but then I...

I bought a used GS3 a few months ago and have been enjoying it. I immediately had to replace the portafilter gasket because it was hard and cracked. I used the Cafelet Silicone gasket and its been great. I figured I'd need to replace some more things due to the neglect of that...

Hello all,
I've been unable to find the same issue I am having with my used Breville BES920. OPV was replaced, it has the newer type o rings, and the pump is also new, and water comes from steam and spigot fine. Heat is good, but no pressure registers and no water comes from...

So I have a stock EU LMLM 2020 IoT (0.6 gicleur) and a recurring issue for a year or so now. (I'm based in France)

The issue:
