When I push the button to make espresso the water comes out through the hot water/steamer? No coffee is dispensed but seems like all is working inside?
Re: When I push the button to make espresso the water...
The water pressure is high possible because the grind is really fine, however water is not supposed to go through the valve unless it is open, you might have to replace the steam valve assembly.

hi,
he pump presses hot water through the grind not steam.
if the coffee is hot and hot water is dispensed, your line are clocked.
descale the machine as directed.
if coffee is cold the heat element is toasted. very unlikely though, since the machine will not dispens coffee, pump running if correct temperature is not reached.
good luck
Frankly, there are things wrong that are beyond your scope, mainly because of the domino effect in small espresso machines no matter who makes them. There are multiple thermostats instead of a pressurestat, and on and on trying to replicate what a commercial machine does. In a machine like yours, the slightest failure of a gasket throws off everything. There is better containment of problems in commercial machines, but that too depends on what fails first.
My advice, if you are a home user, would be to get a manual pump machine , such as a Pavoni, (which I have lost respect for since they employed plastic pistons,) or if for a small cafe or bar, something like a semi-automatic job plumbed through a filter. Either way, in all honesty and that has cost me dearly, I warn you about this coffee business, because it is a science and an art.
It is not easy to make a good cup of coffee or espresso, especially.
Circuit Priming When the machine operates for the first time and when all the water has been dispensed, the machine circuit needs priming. In this case, the 4 buttons of the control panel will flash at the same time. • Press the ON/OFF button . The 4 buttons will flash. • Place a container under the cappuccinatore. • Open the "hot water/steam" knob by turning it anticlockwise. • Press the hot water button. • Wait for water dispensing to stop. • Close the "hot water/steam" knob by turning it clockwise. Remove the container. When the first priming ends, the warming up starts. Before brewing coffee, water and steam, please wait for lights 15 and 16 to be permanently on. The machine is now ready to brew coffee and dispense steam. Please see related sections for operating details. Note: if priming is not completed, the 4 buttons will keep on fl ashing. The machine cannot be used.
Hello>>To explain the repair of the valve via this chat box is too much post your emauil and I will send you the service manual on the unit it will take you step by step thru it.
Solution nr one cold be the machine ran out of water and the circuit need to be filled up again.
This is the procedure to do that
Fill up your water tank
Open the steam knob na push the coffe button...in that way the water will be forced to go to the steamer.If you have water in the steamer like you asking for hot water....go to the next step
Close the steam knob and at that point you will hear a different noise and the watewr should be able to go direct into the boiler and start dripping like it was before.
if you don`t have hot water coming oput from the steamer....the problem is before the boiler and could be a clog on the silicon tube or the water pump is loosing friction..
by frother you mean it puts out steam ? if yes then I need to know how long you hold down the button and have you checked the hose in back to see if it has cracks or is kinked?
Try opening the frothing valve by turning the dial and force water through it instead of steam by pressing the middle, coffee button. You may be experiencing vapor lock. Once the water comes through the steamer valve, turn the steamer knob off and release the coffee button. Then try the steamer button with the steamer dial open. This may do the trick.
