I have got a Pavoni coffee machine but the pressure switch needs fixing, can i fix this myself or do i need proffesional help? Any suggestions
Do you mean the safety valve to the right of where you put the water in a chrome dome top nut thing?
I you are happy to have a go and have the right sized spanner this is a possibly easy fix or really most likely a clean.
I did this a few months ago and it took a couple of minutes.
I undid it carefully removed all the parts cleaned off the limescale and reassembled it.
If you mean the pressurestat here is a link to a great site that show you what needs to be done and you can judge for yourself if you are up to it.

The relief valve has a toggle inside that is heat activated. This can stick. I found if you tap it with a spoon the toggle will release and the valve will close.

Hi there,
You will need to take the machine apart completely as there are more gaskets inside the group head. You can buy an old group service kit at www.theespressoshop.co.uk for about £20 and it comes with an exploded diagram so you can see what goes where. Don't worry there is no technical mechanical solenoid like the last comment stated. I repair these machines for a living and all it needs is a good service.
All the best

Hi there, i am Mr La Pavoni based in Glasgow, Scotland and i will be able to help you. If you know the parts you require then i think you would be best to replace them as if it keeps blowing fuses then it may cause more damage than you would like. If you go to www.theespressoshop.co.uk you can buy every individual part for the lever models online and they send very quickly too. If you need further assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch with me at [email protected]
All the best

Hi,
This problem could occur due to to two problems.
1)Blockages in the valves.There are many valves present that will cause this issue.
When it is blocked due to dust particles it will block the flow.Check in the the diagram of how
to separate the La Pavoni.Apply some air pressure at the valve knob endings and the flow turnings.
2)Piston may to block the flow.So take it clean and place it properly.
Here is the parts diagram which will help you take apart the La Pavoni.
For clear picture and more details:
