Hello!
I bought a secondhand refurbished (new group head seal, new boiler seal, descaled, OPV adjusted to 10 bar and a Rancilio Silvia steam wand fitted) 2012 Classic in January, it's only had light use since then (few times a week).
Last week when I turned it on and tried to pull a shot instead of it making the normal pump noise and water coming through it, there was just a gentle hum and no water.
I opened the machine up (I know only a little about the inside of a classic - "there is a pump and a boiler and some electronics") and had a look at the pump, took the pump out, and had a brief look at the plastic tubes connecting to and from the pump to see if maybe it was blocked with something but couldn't find anything.
I then read about priming the pump (with the machine off opening up the steam valve, turning the machine on and immediately flipping the 'make me coffee' switch). After a few tries this did bring the machine back into life! But I then had to prime the pump each time I turned the coffee machine on to get it to work. And alas, this morning, that is no longer working
![:(]( ":(")
So I'm at a loss as to what to do, and I'd appreciate any suggestion / help!
(I'm also currently uncaffeinated)
