Rancilio Silvia is blocked (not completely but




By hefferweizen on Jun 13, 2009

" "
Rancilio Silvia is blocked (not completely but substantially. Water is restricted out of both the brew-head as well as the steam-wand. I've cleaned the 3-way solenoid valve and I've run CleanCaf twice. When I take the feeder tube out the tank for 1 second then put it back in, this sometimes dislodges the blockage and it runs okay again for maybe 30 seconds then clogs up again. If it is not in the 3-way valve, can anyone recommend how to find it and unblock it.

Your problem sounds like a water pump issue rather than the 3 way valve, try priming the circuit by opening the water valve when you clean the system(if you can find scalekleen, use that instead of cleancaff to descale your machine).
