Gaggia Forumyep - I get that bit and sure that explains the dimness. but why is it ON when element is heating and OFF when brew ready - vs everyone else's of OFF when element heating and ON when brew ready? right? I have 2 spare thermostats if needed, but it comes to temp OK so doubt its them.

Gaggia Forumquick extra question - I noticed that the brew light does actually come on (very dim) when you first turn on the machine, and then goes off roughly when I would usually expect it to switch on. it looks like it's all wired up right and doesn't seem to come back on after pulling a shot...

Gaggia Forumquick update: well that was pretty fun! thanks for all your help. this was the boiler I couldn't get it totally de-scaled, or even out the tarnishing - so I might need to disassemble again some point to finish the job, but its much better now and the scale that's on there doesn't seem...

Gaggia Forumnaively reckon I'll be fine with the plate, more worried about getting off those 2 super corroded bolts between the solenoid & the boiler. yeah.. bit under £100, thought an ok price for a well-looked-after one but starting to reconsider! tools + parts = price adds up quick. cheers for...

Gaggia Forumhi all! yet another newby with an eBay 2010 classic. listing said regularly descaled and serviced often though now needs another service as last one was 18months ago. i'm no expert but looking at the shower screen holder and the edges of the boiler it looks like a lot more than 18 months...
