  • OK, gaggia classic has started playing up. Sometimes, the pump just doesn't seem to work. Rather than the loud sound of the pump, I get a much quiter buzz and noticeable click as I turn the pump on and off, with little to no water getting through. Sometimes though, its fine and turns on and off OK, enough to make a cup of coffee fine.
    The steam wand seems un affected.

    Anyone got any clues besides get a new pump? Is there anything else it could be? Worried I'll pull the thing apart, put a new pump on, put it back together to find the same problem/doesn't work at all cos I've ballsed it up.

  • The click is likely the 3-way solenoid operating. Sometimes this is masked by the pump.

    Have you had any pressure issues or problems with scaling?
