This fix worked for me -- I will add that there is a small "snap out" plate behind the brew group that should be removed in order to access the small reservoir area -- mine was clogged with grounds. Funny, but my old Gaggia Syncrony lasted 7 years before the heating element died and I never had that issue with it. However, I did not use the coffee bypass with that one either

Check the chamber under the white plastic valve behind the brew unit, it might be blocked with coffee.

We have a Gaggia Syncrony Logic that is just over two years old. After each brew cycle, the puck is successfully ejected but water and some grounds flow out under the drip tray instead of into it....

Hi
Check the drain behind the brew unit. There is a pocket below the injector that can plug up and cause water to drain under the drip tray. Check this first. Stick you finger in the pocket and see if there is water in it. If there is, the drain below and to the right is plugged and just needs to be cleaned.

Gaggia Syncrony "ventilate"

You need to push the hot water button on the machine panel to allow water to run out of the steam wand. After a few seconds the machines ventilate message should clear.

Gaggia Syncrony logic loses water pressure. If left unused for an hour or two it only dispenses half the water it should. After this it's ok until not used for a while. Any ideas?

Yes the machine should not be left on for that long, it only takes a few minutes to heat up. It does not have an auto refill if the boiler is low on water.
If it heats up the water in the boiler for over an hour, it is safe to assume, that the water might at some point turn to steam, when you use it for the first time, it flushes out all the steam, and fills the boiler with water.

The steam wand will only dispense water, and will not steam. What can i do?

Replace the steam boiler, and or check the thermostats and the element on the steam boiler. If those are working fine then the CPU board has failed especially where the power leads to the steam, look for sign of damage on the board.

No steam pressure with little to no water/steam

Remove the steam wand and inside you will find a small teflon like tube at the top, throw that away and run water through the wand to make sure it is clear then re-assemble in machine and test.

Gaggia syncrony compact is leaking. Removed top and it appears it is leaking from the area that the line goes into the steam knob. Doesn't leak when using the steam knob, just when brew coffee

Hi What color is the steam manifold? It is located under the black cover with the trough in back under the whit tube. If its whit or black it probably needs to be replaced. If you cool down the manifold after steaming you can prevent this from happening. Just turn off the steam and then open the knob again to run water. It comes out steam at first but then will turn to a water stream. Then you can close the knob and go about brewing or just let it stand.

Water is leaking, while the machine heats water for steaming

The steam valve tap rod needs to be replaced, or check machine if it has a plastic steam valve, Gaggia designed a new Stainless steel steam valve for the compact machine.
