Hi There We have a classic gaggia machine that doesn't seem to be drawing water from the water resevoir, any ideas what might be wrong? Is this something that you could fix? Thanks Charlotte Gaeta

If you cannot get water from the brew head or the tea spicket, then the pump could be blocked or damaged, or the boiler is blocked.

You have a Gaggia Classic that is not drawing water from the pump:
The fault could be the pump or the solenoid or blocked showerscreen.

1. If its the solenoid - You will have no water but a little steam, when you press coffee button - then replace solenoid. This happens if descaling is not frequent , ie every 3-4 months https://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/gaggia-boiler-solenoid-3876-p.asp
2. If its the pump - nothing comes from the group then replace that. The pump could fail due to age typically 5-10 year old pump would fail https://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/gaggia-ulka-vibration-%C2%A0pump--120v%C2%A0-eap-5-8422-p.asp
3. If showerscreen is blocked - unlikely - remove and clean with https://www.bluestarcoffee.eu/puly-caff-cleaner-sachets-x-10-6727-p.asp

My Gaggia classic has suddenly stopped frothing

Hi There,

You are not getting enough steam, to produce the froth and there no blockage. I suggest you replace the thermostats. Takes 10 min max.. Gaggia thermostat set

Low flow, pump starts normal and within a few second becomes quiete

Hi There,
Try descaling - sounds like the the solenoid is blocked with lime - don't use vinegar! Try that 1st.
If machine is more that 2 years - not regularly descaled or no water filter replaced regularly, it probably the solenoid.
It the machines is 4 years + replacing both would be a good idea. Gaggia classic solenoid Vibration pump Gaggia Rancillio

Hi, My Gaggia Classic is not working. No water

try to clean the group shower which it can be ansrew by one cetrer screw and if you can you can open the machine and remove to clean also the coffee group solenoid valve. Bothe the valve and shower can be full of dry coffee that can blocked the way of water coming to the grounded coffee.
If you manage to clean everything above and the machine work ok so from now on in order to avoid the problem again try to flush water from the group many times without any coffee. With this is like you wash the group shower and valve from any remai coffee.
Good luck
