From your description we understand that your machines vital parts like water pump, grinder, group and gears, boiler, electronic board all are working fine since there is a final result the coffee.

The only problem you face is that due to long time use some coffee liquid have dry out layer by layer and have goggle the Teflon pipe of the plastic unions so the coffee cannot be deliver through to the coffee tap and as a result is ending in the coffee drugs drawer.

So you need to disassemble you machine and remove the Teflon pipe which is after the coffee croup and by using a thing metal wire like a paper clip or similar you can check the pipe and the plastic unions to find out where they are goggled from dry coffee. You can immerse them in boiling water from some minute so the dry coffee to dissolve and be removed completely. By this chance you can remove also the coffee group filters and also clean them with hot water.

We have here below the link with exploded parts view of your model which will help you find the parts and understand how your machine is constructed.

Also you may now you don't have any problem but we suggest performing at least once every month de-scale so to keep your machine in perfect condition.

Hi
Like the Royal Pro machine and Royal Coffee, there is a water button on the Comfort that you need to press to run water. If when you press it and nothing happens you have a stuck solenoid, probably from scale build up. See what happens when you push the button with the drop of water or it may have many drops depending.

Plastic compression sleve
Rubber sleve
inner pannarrello
Outer pannarrello

Hi
If its a Magic Comfort + there is a water button on the panel (with the drop) that you push for water. You twist the dial for steam only.

If its a Magic Delux you twist the dial for water.

Hi
Could be but it could also be your steam solenoid. They will get stuck to where they can't open because ther is a calcium build up in the system. I would suspect that your water hardness is set too low. The best setting is 4. If you don't hear a cleck when you push the steam button its your solenoid.

The tank valve is consist from small piston and on its adje have a small rubber 'o' ring the piston move with a small spring.
The key in your problem is that finally you can make it stop leaking this mean that everything is in place and not completly damage, however you may still have it a bend spring or psiton and it can not seat in place directly or you may have a scale deposit arount the valve which blocking it from seat in its place. Also the plastic psiton or its base might have tear out so it loose and difficult ot seat in its place from the first time.
So the best solution since this not an expesive part is to replace the valve completly with anew one this will save you time and trouble.
Good luck

You followed the descaling the instructions you mean? There are no "above" instructions above your post. And did it appear to do a full descaling? It went through the whole process without issues I mean..?

Have you tried unplugging the device from the power source for a good 3 minutes, then replugging it in?

Does it function otherwise, or will not allow you to do normal operations?

Thanks
Tim

There is a lever at the top of the door on the right side. It may be inside. Pull the lever back 1 notch from the plus (+) . You are dumping too much coffee in the brew unit and it can not compress it, so it dumps it. Never push the lever all the way or it can cause this overcharge. Its fine if the brew group is clean but when you make coffee there is always a residue left and this is what causes the overcharge. The lever in on or behind the door, NOT under the bean hopper!

Try reprogramming the machine. Push and hold the button for the coffee you want, but hold it all the way through the process. Don't release the button until you get the amount of coffee you want for that button, then release the button. That should get you the same amount next time. You can do this for each coffee button.
If that doesn't fix it, then you might need a new flow meter.

Hi
If you have the Magic Comfort + here are the directions.
To automatically descale your machine, press the scoop button and hold it down until you enter the menu. Use the arrows on the left to scroll down until you come to Descale. Press enter and the machine will enter the mode to descale your machine. The process takes about 45 minutes. You don't have to do a thing except mix a full water tank with descaling solution and have a container under the steam wand when your start. If you have a cappuccinonatori on your machine you will need two containers. To start the descaling process, simply turn the steam knob. When the process is over your machine will say "Descale finished". Remove your water tank and rinse it out. Refill it with fresh water. Replace on the machine and start the descaling process over again to rinse your machine. Go back into your menu and scroll up or down 1 to signal descale and enter. Choose "Yes" and push enter so the machine will tell you when you need to descale again.

Hi
The magnet in the water tanks is either upside down or has sunk to the bottom of the tank. It should float to the top of the cage it is in and it should have a flat top not rounded. If its rounded side up the magnet is upside down. This is what would cause your problem.

Just try to pour some hot water out from the steam wand after some seconds the veltilate massage will go out.
Good luck

You can turn the water knob and let it pour out some hot water from steam wand. If your machine does not have any problem with scale the the masage ventilate will go away and work normal again.
Good luck tahnks for voding

Hi
Open the door on the right. The brew unit is the thing with the handle that has the "press" on it. You need to push on the upper left side of the brew unit until it clicks. There is an outlet spout on the opposite side of where you are pushing. It goes into an intake port that needs to be lubed, so the outlet spout will slide in without pushing back. That should take care of the missing brew unit.

Hi
To descale your Magic Comfort +, enter the menu and scroll to descale. Push the menu button to descale. Mix your solution in your water tank. Use warm water and dissolve all the solution. Place the water tank on your machine. With a container under the steam wand that is large enough to catch all the water in the tank, you are ready to begin. To start the descaling process, open the steam knob. The machine will automatically start the descaling process and when it is finished, it will shut off and tell you that it needs to be rinsed. Remove the water tank and rinse with fresh water. Refill the water tank and place it on the machine. Turn off the machine, wait a moment, and then turn it back on. Press the hot water button to start pumping fresh water through the boiler. Pump out about 16 oz. of water and then turn off the hot water button and open the steam knob to rinse the steam boiler. When it starts to go to steam, turn off and turn on the hot water button again. Pump out another 16 oz. Repeat this process with the steam knob until you have emptied the water tank. Descaling is complete. Go to your menu and scroll to "reset descale", push the enter button and chose "Yes" and push the enter button. Now it will tell you we next to be descaled.

Hi,..There is a seal on the machine where the water tank sits, you have to pull out the retaining plastic ring and replaced the seal.

First remove brew unit and clean the shower screen that is under the red gasket, then adjust the grind about 2 numbers coarser, then try making a coffee, if you have the same problem then the steam valve needs to be replaced.
try to clean the machine run a complete brewing cycle using white vinegar in place of water. Follow with 2 complete cycles using plain water. Water quality in many places is not so good. The heat of the brewing process causes the solids (calcium, lime, &tc) in the water (especially HARD water) causes scale to form on the inside of the tubing. This not only affects the taste of the coffee (or even tea), but slows the brewing time by preventing water flow due to decreased diameter of the tubing.
