I have had this machine 18months within the first year it returned to gaggia for replacement brew unit .Now it is leaking water underneath.It is now out of its guarentee -any advise or similar problems much appreciated
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.
Hi. I've gotten to the part where one has to remove the hose, the one to the steam wand. how do you remove it? I'm stuck there. The other one had a spring clasp, and was easy. Unfortunately as well, the repair parts that came are already pre connected so the hose is attached to the valve, and I have to take that hose off too! I am assuming that it is only the valve that is leaking..
