Thank you, Jake for your help. I installed the latest iteration of the paddle cam extension and it works like a charm. I think that I need to tie down the paddle cam extension with a wire tie as it jumps off the paddle sometimes.


While opening up the machine I noticed leaking from the temperature probe and see below.


Removed the probe hardware and look what I found



I also remember that a few weeks ago I had leaking around the brewhead while I was pulling coffee shots and remembered someone else having the same issue. I ended up using monster plumbing tape and re-attached it, all good now.

No problem at all; I'm happy to help.

Would a small latching feature on the back be helpful?
I can make the back stop wrap around a bit and add a snap-tab type of clasp if that would be better than a wire tie.

Also, while I'm sure it will be "fine". The extension for the upper switch looks delicate. I can bump that up a bit, too. But totally your call. It looks different in the flesh than on the screen.

Ew.

Glad you got that fixed.

What's your plumbing setup for the paddle?
Solenoid with Slayer valve? Line pressure?

Cheers!

A small latching feature would definitely help. Also the peg would benefit from being a little stronger and probably 0.5 mm closer to the edge.

I built a bypass similar to the one seen here is post #15. However, I used a 110V solenoid connected in parallel to the brew switch.
La Marzocco Linea Mini shot timer, automatic backflushing and flow profiling mods

paddle middle - triggers both switches - 2 ml/s flow
paddle to the left - clears the new switch - full flow
