Plenty of strip down videos around. Parts are available.
When mine needed some love I was told anarchistbarrista on Insta could repair but I ended up DIYing it, blown thermo resister that killed the thermo fuse.

Should just be the pad seal in the tap, usually pretty straightforward to dismantle. If you can get the seal out without destroying it you can just turn it around and reinstall.
Edit, not that straightforward it turns out, but doable. Good guide here.

Have descaled a couple of times with no joy.
