Hi there,
I wonder if anyone has some advice about my broken automatic machine - apart form chuck it in the bin that is, or you should have never bought it...
It is a Saeco Syntia and one day I came to use it after a week or so and no coffee came out. Boiler heated up, pump pumped but nothing produced. Tried again and there was a pop followed by steam from the vents! It would produced hot water and steam fine, just not coffee.
So today I finally get time to take the thing apart and have a look. In the attached pic you can see a broken part, the black part in the middle with the spring. This is the safety valve according the the parts list. I guess it has failed because something else is blocked, but what?
Since it can produce hot water I guess everything is ok from the pump to boiler to selector valve, but then what's next?
Any suggestions welcome,
Simeon
