My Rancillio Sylvia machine has started to sound like it is failing when I am pulling a short. It still works, but the pump sound fluctuates and sounds like it is almost going to stop, only to pick back up again. Presumably pressure is being relieved or reduced - don't know if it is the 3 way valve kicking in or the pump (could I have damages while backwashing - problem started after I cleaned and backwashed)

Hi There are a couple of things. 1. Your pump is not primed. Open the steam knob and push the middle switch. 2. Your intake hose is pinched or not connected to the pump, or your intake hose is not in the water tank.

Pump has started making gurgling sound
You may have an air lock try using machine on and off 5seconds each time sow that you give the pump time to regain the water.
If not try and inject water your self from the rare instead of water tank some time when you get air lock it is removed alone by just simply leave it over night after you had tryed the water pump because the air lock is removed alone slowly.

I have a rancillio. The steamer works really well for about 15 seconds and then peters out???
Descale the boiler with citric acid.

  1. Turn off the machine and let it get cool
  2. Dissolve about a tablespoon of citric acid in the water reservoir.
  3. Turn on the machine and then pump about a cup of solution out of the boiler vent using the hot water switch.
  4. Turn off the switch. Close the vent
  5. Let the boiler heat up for about 5 minutes.
  6. Shut off the machine. Let the acid work for about 30 minutes.
  7. Check the level in the reservoir.
  8. Turn on the machine and then pump about a cup of solution out of the grouphead using the brew switch.
  9. Turn off the brew switch.
  10. Repeat steps 5,6, 7, 8, and 9 until the water runs clear.
  11. Wash out the reservoir.
  12. Turn the machine on. Pump a full reservoir water out the grouphead using the brew switch.
  13. Refill the reservoir.
  14. Have some coffee

Low flow, pump starts normal and within a few second becomes quiete
Hi There,
Try descaling - sounds like the the solenoid is blocked with lime - don't use vinegar! Try that 1st.
If machine is more that 2 years - not regularly descaled or no water filter replaced regularly, it probably the solenoid.
It the machines is 4 years + replacing both would be a good idea. Gaggia classic solenoid Vibration pump Gaggia Rancillio

The water pump for my Ascaso Dream isnt working. A very loud obnoxious noise is being made everytime we turn it on, but no water is getting through.
Hi there,
It does sound like the pump. If it isn't sucking any water up and it is very noisy then it is def the pump. I can get these for you if you are still looking.

All the best

Ground fault issue
This is not an unusual issue, but an unusual fix. When appliances that use water and heating elements use a ground fault breaker, it often thinks there is a problem to ground, since it is not the regular short to ground like an element. Move it to an area that has a regular outlet, and turn it on the first time. From then on, it should work right.

Sylvia not drawing water
Let's start simple.
Is it plumbed in? Is the water valve to it open?
Some also have internal valves under the drip tray.
Is there a filter or softener between the wall and the machine? Could me clogged, mis-installed or faulty.
Does the pump run?
Good luck!

Rancillio Silvia Steaming problem
Sounds like your Rancilio needs a service, this problem could be caused by the boiler not working correctly, possibly a leak from the boiler or a valve malfunction causing a drop in pressure.
