YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE TOP TO SEE WHERE THE LEAK COME FROM, OVERPRESSURE VALVE, CONNECTIONS TO BOILER , O-RINGS, SEALS, SENSORS CONNECTED TO THE BOILER ETC. U CANNOT TELL FROM THE BOTTOM!!
Could you please post the full model number and if you happen to have the serial number as well of your Astoria Argenta SAE-2 Espresso Machine? Thank you I await your reply Rick
Could be the breaker does not match up with the required amperage for the machine or you could be grounding out somewhere inside the machine. www.kaldi.com
On the right side of the machine next to the serial number is the most likely spot for the NSF sticker or tag depending on the model of the machine it may only have an ETL listing.
Your problem could be one or two items (element or pressure stat or both). Remove the screw in the top of the P.stat(black or gray rectangle box with electrical wire going in from bottom about 4-6 inches long), lift the cover and check the terminals(turn power off). Make sure that there are no loose connections on the terminals. On the element remove the wires that are connected to it and test with an Ohmsmeter.
When you press the dispense button does the needle on the dispensing pressure gauge move up to the green area? If so, most likely your group head solenoid valve is bad. It's located behind the back splash. It's a small black box connected to a metal tube just behind the group head. They cost around $70.
If the needle doesn't move it could either be your pump or motor. Now you're in the $200 range.
