No water at brew head

No water at brewing point.
Steam OK and hot water nozzle OK.
Breville BES820XL
Recent maintenance: Thorough descaling, replaced all water tubing.
The machine is open on my bench and I'm waiting for advice. Magnetic valve has not been checked.
Thank you all

Welcome to HB Ken!

Might there be a solenoid valve that directs water to the brew head that might be stuck or fouled with scale due to the descaling?

You might have to disassemble this part to clean and inspect it if you feel up to the challenge.

Remember to unplug the machine before working on it!

Thanks for your response. Electrically the valve checks out OK. I have not yet checked the flow.
That will be next.
Will post the results.
