Upon turning on the Rancilio Silvia, it trips the house breaker switches. Have moved to different outlets and does same thing. Had been working ok previously. Thanks.
Hi Sorry to say but your boiler element is ruptured and needs to be replaced. You can do an ohms check across the element terminals and if its good you will get a reading of 12 to 16 ohms.

Can you supply a thermostat for a Rancilio Silvia? the one required is T3 in the wiring diagram, and is between the on/off switch and the heating element. In the diagram it is described as "thermostat 165º". The actual stat is marked "Ty 80-R Campini, 16/250~ T210. If available, please quote full price and postage, and terms. Thanks, Colin

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?
