Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine: No water pumping through even though plenty of water in tank

Mon, 26 Aug 2019 23:59:11 -0700

My machine has stopped pumping water through. I can hear the pump working and there is plenty of water in the tank but no water is coming through. Any ideas on how to fix? Or, do you know anyone that would be able to fix?

Rancilio Espresso Machines: Where can I get an adaptor for the plug?

Sat, 16 Dec 2017 09:50:19 -0700

The plug that goes into the wall and provides power is not a standard 3 prong. One of the prongs that would normally be vertical is horizontal. I've tried to find an adaptor at Lowes and Home Depot and they don't have it. Where could I find it?

Rancilio Epoca Group 1: How to repair my Rancilio EPOCA Group 1?

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 10:17:06 -0700

With water in tank, I turn both switches on and they do not shut off. It does not build pressure or heat up. I believe when the machine was cleaned last, the user did not turn it off and it probably ran out of water.

What do I need to replace?

Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine: Why hot water coming out of return hose non-stop?

Fri, 26 Aug 2022 09:19:31 -0700

There are two hoses in the reservoir - one longer one to call the intake hose and a shorter one I call the return hose. My machine continues to expel very hot water out of the return hose to the extent the water in the reservoir is heated nearly to boiling. What would be causing this?

Rancilio Espresso Machines: Main power switch burning out repeatedly

Fri, 01 Jun 2018 23:03:12 -0700

Just had to replace the 4th main switch on my S-24

( 2004 model Rancilio S24 Espresso machine)

switches arc internally and fail every ~6 mos

keeps overheating and melting switch, internal contacts scorched and arcing

even with new switch

Replaced terminal block and spade contacts after it melted the switch terminal block

(a standard part available only by the thousand, apparently)

Any one have any tips on explaining this ?

is it putting too many amps thru switch?

(replaced with OEM 's)

Needing a capacitor or relay?

machine otherwise working fine.

No discussions online (well, one without answer on an Epoca)

Rancilio Silvia Espresso Machine: Water not hot enough for perfect espresso...no crema neither~

Sat, 12 Aug 2017 13:37:44 -0700

My Rancilio Silvia has stopped to produce hot water enough for a good espresso. Never was hot enough but at least I was getting a "decent" espresso. Now is a different story. I did reset the thermostat by following video instructions but the little red bottom didn't move IN at all so that was a fiasco and resulted in no change at all with the water temperature. If I can't repair this problem with a DIY approach, is there any place I can send the Rancilio for help with this issue? Thank you!
