    Mother of God - it's absolutely the most obvious answer - you'd got it spot on. I ordered a brew thermostat to replace my brew thermostat, the shop sent me exactly what I bought. I took this, removed my steam thermostat, and replaced it with my new brew thermostat. I threw away my very nearly...

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry - just to clarify - I replaced the steam thermostat with another steam thermostat (both 145C) - I had bought a brew thermostat, but the wrong one arrived and in a complete brainfart I just replaced like for like without thinking about it. I'll check it again this...

    Maybe it's me who's lost at this stage. So my understanding was that there are 2 thermostats: 1. Brew (which I was calling boiler in error): rated for 107C 2. Steam: rated for 145C - I had replaced like for like with this a year ago (e.g. there was a 145C thermostat that was faulty in it and...

    This is exactly the kind of thing I needed pointed out. It looks like I was sent the wrong thermostat (steam instead of boiler) and replaced that one as it was the same rating. Tbh I'm not sure if that'll solve my problem as I only replaced the steam thermostat last year, but it does mean I...

    OK so solenoid is out, currently steeping in descaler and will steep for a while in Cafiza after that. Following the instructions from whole latte love, it says that the plastic caps on either end of the internal spring within the internal solenoid piece should both compress a little and spring...

    I would have assumed it wasn't related to the solenoid valve, as clearing up the hole in the grouphead solved it multiple times previously. I'm assuming if the solenoid was blocked then this would have cleared it before, but I could certainly be wrong there. I can certainly try it though, never...

    Hi folks - having some trouble with my Classic recently and not sure what to try next. Symptom is that it seems to be getting repeatedly blocked up (no water running through the grouphead). I've descaled it fairly regularly in the past, and a lot more recently in case it was some scale stuck...
