I lost the clear plastic top cover of my la Pavoni MEC-258. Where can I order this part? Believe it or not, this has been a very reliable, well working, if not somewhat messy little grinder. We've used it a great deal.

Hi this link goes to a site that covers quite a lot of stuff about Pavoni lever machines hope you find what you need. I have set the link to land on a page that has a wiring diagram,
Powering up the La Pavoni

\\this might be caused by a worn piston seal. see here how to replace seals.

Hi there, i am Mr La Pavoni based in Glasgow, Scotland and i will be able to help you. If you know the parts you require then i think you would be best to replace them as if it keeps blowing fuses then it may cause more damage than you would like. If you go to www.theespressoshop.co.uk you can buy every individual part for the lever models online and they send very quickly too. If you need further assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch with me at [email protected]

All the best

Mr Pavoni

Yes. Inside on the top after you loosen 2 scres the coffee warmer plate comes off there is a reset switch.

Hi,

You have to take a screwdriver and try to bend up the platic, be careful so you not break it.

Ah ha! I just fixed the problem.

The black steam knob is bonded to the shaft. The shaft/knob assembly is removed by rotating the spring keeper on the brass housing the shaft fits into by 90 degrees to allow the shaft to be pulled out once the knob is rotated enough to disengage its thread from the brass housing.

Once the cover over the boiler is removed you will see three thermostats mounted on top of the boiler.

The middle one has the reset button located between the two power connectors. Push it down and you will hear a metallic snap as it resets.

I now have a working La Pavoni Pisa Espresso Machine again and it was free to fix it!

Wooo Hooo!!!

Check your screws in the bottom of the portafilter, If they are too tight the spring mechanism inside can't do its job, adjust them and it should work. Also, don't over fill your portafilter, if you put too much coffee in then there is to much pressure and again the water will flow from the top. Hope this helps
