Hi, I purchased Rancilio Silvia v3. I have overflow of water in water tank. What happens and how can I fix? Thank you.

Hi There,
Your coffee group is blocked, with lime or coffee oils.

Try descaling 1st Pulycaf coffee machine descaler . You will find descaler and cleaner in this rancilio silvia kit. Rancilio Silvia gasket kit . Descaling should be done every 3 months or so.

If the descaler does not work - you may have to remove the solenoid valve and descale that - not an easy fix. Takes 20 min.

if it has a filter ,replace. use vinegar through the water resevoir. fill it and turn it on.

machine is clogged with scale. use only bottled water. use citric acid to descale.

There are two thermostats, one for water, one for steam. Replace the one for water. You can get the themostat here

Remove the top panel and check the 3 thermostats there, one of them tripped.

It is possible that the element burnt out, but before that happened, the thermostat should have turned it off. Remove the top screws and look for signs of damage/burning wires, if none then fill tank check all thermostats to make sure they did not trip and turn machine on.

Remove the top panel one of the thermostats on the tank tripped, reset thermostat, and turn machine on.

Hi
The second one is your relief valve return water line. It just sets in the tank. Doesn't go anywhere.

Could be a switch, a themostat, a wire connection, or the boiler element. Someone with a volt-ohm meter will have to help you.

Once you figure it out, you can get the parts here
