After having my machine repaired, the light bar will not come on when the machine is turned on . The boiler won't heat. The only way to get it to work is to turn on the steam switch. Then it will heat. Without that, no heat. Could it have been mis-wired at the repair center?
-   Exactly the same problem, fuse reset inside the machine does not work for this - the heater won't work for espresso, only for steam. I can make espresso or lattes by using the steam functions (steaming milk if necessary) and then, if I turn off the steam and make espresso once the steam is spent, I can make espresso, but otherwise the boiler shuts off and cools down. There seems to be no way to get the boiler to maintain heat without activating the steam switch (and yes, the light indicating that the product is heating up does not come on unless I turn on steam using the lower left button).-   Guest

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?
