Yes in answer to your question I had the machine serviced by a qualified Rancilio supported workshop. The problem was different as it involved replacement of the pump, but they also replaced two flow meters and adjusted the boiler cutout temp and pressure. The temp cutout seems to be a bimetallic switch but when the machine fails if i put a muti meter across the switch it shows a closed circuit which i would expect as the machine is not getting up to working pressure.

- Thanks for your efforts but I have now given up and sent the machine back to a Rancillio repairer as nothing seems to help and I am suffering from CAFFEINE WITHDRAWLS!!!!!! Thanks anyway! Cheers Regards
It could also be that the solenoid is of the wrong specifications, and hence not getting up to pressure.. Have them check both the temp and pressure cutouts again..

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?
