Machine is not dispensing coffee. If the portafilter is empty, hot water comes thru. But once it is filled with coffee nothing comes for several seconds, then all I get are a few slow drips. Machine is only a couple months old. Steam wand seems to be working fine.

Hi, last week I purchased the Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine. For most of this time I have been having near perfect coffee. Today for some reason, the shot has poured way too quickly resulting in weak coffee. The grind appears to be fine, I have tampered it the same as I have over the past week, the only thing that seems to be happening is the water coming out too quickly. Can you see a solution to this promblem? thankyou.

I have a Rancilio Silvia about 2 years old. About 10 days ago I did a descale and backflush process, (very little came out) but now it is leaking from the right hand side when facing machine (but only when turned on) from the gap between the base and the body. I suspect it is the 3 way solenoid valve, but would like some advice before we attempt a repair. Is this a symptom of solenoid breakdown and is it a self repair job for a handyman husband?
