  • Im looking to do a service on my Dad’s Pavoni lever machine. There are two main issues (that I’m aware of):

    1.Boiler rotates in stand
    2.Steam escapes from group head -> boiler connection

    Anyone done this sort of thing and can give me some pointers? There’s lots online so can always fall back on Google- also a lot of noise so prefer to speak to someone here :~D Tia

  • 1.Boiler rotates in stand

    No idea personally, but I think it's pretty common to remove it as part of a full service, so I guess try to find some servicing docs and see what they say about loosening & re-attaching the boiler

    2.Steam escapes from group head -> boiler connection

    I'm guessing you've checked the two bolts holding the group on to make sure they're not loose? There's a gasket in there that's generally included with a standard servicing kit that's possibly disintegrating and just needs replaced. @TW Did you have this issue recently? Fairly sure someone on this thread was talking about it

    This sort of thing should cover you for both: https://www.theespressoshop.co.uk/en/GB/La-Pavoni-Lever-Service-Kit-New-Group---45002/m-2256.aspx
