Why does our Gaggia platinum vision grind beans and send hot water to the steamer or wand rather than through the brew group unit?
SOURCE: Gaggia Titaminu
check to make sure the blades are secured to the motor shaft. some have a set screw, some are positioned over a pin in the motor shaft.

i had this same problem. the solution is simple if you are a little bit handy.
there is a bad valve inside. i called Whole Latte Love where i bought
the machine and ordered a Steam Valve complete - Compact Frame
its part number GA-%0345.R and two O-Rings
the valve that comes with the machine is plastic and the new one is a brushed metal casing. my guess it will last for 10 years!
two screws on the back and the machine is open
near the front, by the steam wand, with a hose attached coming from the heater, is the valve, attached to the knob on the side
two more screws and the valve wrapped in a plastic housing comes out.
open the plastic housing, remove the insulated hose to the steam wand
and the water/steam plastic hose that comes in. replace the valve, hook
up the two hoses, but back in housing and you're done. attach back to
knob on the outside, put back together and in 30 minutes, the Titanium
is like new. no leaks.
it sounds daunting but is pretty easy and beats sending the machine
back for repair. i can't go a morning let alone a month without coffee
from my Gaggia. once repaired, the coffee is hotter too.

I fixed it!!!
Take the brew unit out and remove the grey inlet peice (2 screws) then take out the peice with the perforated disc in it out and remove the disc. Clean the disc so you can see through all the holes and re-assemble.
This sorted my machine out and it now behaves correctly again.

Remove shower and screw, then run brew button, if that works clean shower, if not remove allen wrench screws and clean diffuser and valve on spirng.

Hi
Check the drain behind the brew unit. There is a pocket below the injector that can plug up and cause water to drain under the drip tray. Check this first. Stick you finger in the pocket and see if there is water in it. If there is, the drain below and to the right is plugged and just needs to be cleaned.
Testimonial: "Indeed, it appears the pocket below the injector was plugged. Was able to clear it and it now drains properly. thank you!"
