Steam safety valve broken?

Hello friends! About a month ago I heard a pop from my mini vivaldi II, and now when the machine heats up it constantly sounds like its leaking steam pressure. I think I see that it is leaking it from the little valve behind the water filter, and I think this is the safety valve. Mine seems to look ...

Re: Flowmeter alarm and no solenoid click. HELP

I got it working! New fuse came in this morning and it works like a charm. I did test the resistance on the solenoid and it read okay (and, well now it works) Thank you so much for all your help. I think the problem was the timer switch got flipped during shipping somehow and I didn't know it needed...

Re: Flowmeter alarm and no solenoid click. HELP

I can get 115v on the solenoid leads but not when it’s plugged in? Only if I take the wires out and probe them directly. I now have the cover of the wires off and I’m trying to probe while connected to the solenoid but no dice there either. Also the pump is now not running. Even on the steam-boilers...

Re: Flowmeter alarm and no solenoid click. HELP

So, mixed success. Flipping the switch to off worked! Once. Now what happens is I hear a faint click from the control board and a few seconds later the flow meter alarm comes on.

Re: Flowmeter alarm and no solenoid click. HELP

Hi, Thank you for all your help so far. I can't get anything from pump to neutral when I hit the one or two cup buttons. I don't have an EV.GR, the plug above phase on mine is EV 1 ( I have an older machine, I believe from ~2010). I know my AC meter is working because when I plug it into a socket I ...

Re: Flowmeter alarm and no solenoid click. HELP

I just checked the line to the solenoid, I cant get voltage no matter what I probe. So I think its a problem somewhere up the line. Where should I check? All the cables seem to be seated fine, I cant find a loose connector.

Re: Flowmeter alarm and no solenoid click. HELP

I took removed the connecter and re-seated it in order to remove the solenoid last night.. I'll try to trace the wire back to see if that's the problem. I'll report back

Flowmeter alarm and no solenoid click. HELP

I recently shipped my older mini Vivaldi ii (I think its the 260577 model??) across the country. It worked like a charm before but now It won't dose anything from the grouphead. I can still use the steam and hot water from the steam boiler, and I know the grouphead boiler is getting hot because the ...
