Titanium ventilate issues

Having done everything per the manual and all online info I can find, the "ventilate" message continues. It seems to be in the steam/hot water side and doesn't respond to wand cleaning. Gaggia has no solution.

    Yes, I have the same problem.



    Water tank is full, float switch in tank is OK, but pump does not seem to work even when the steam knob is opened.

Probably a broken/faulty/damaged "Steam Valve Cam".
Seem to be pretty prone to premature failure due to "wear and tear".

Remove the milk frother,checked to see if it is blocked.
This can cause the machine not to ventilate correctly.
They tend to block with old hard milk.

    Another problem i have found is coffee grounds are getting caught in the flow meter(inside the machine)

I have just had the same thing this morning with my machine (not used & ventilate message). I followed the instructions & found the same as you, then I realised I had not turned the knob to dispense the water!! Try this, it does take a while for it to go through the ventilate process, I had to refill the watertank. Good luck

Ventilate problem on gaggia titanium coffee

You need to push the hot water button on the machines panel to allow water to run out of the steam wand. After a few seconds the machines ventilate message should clear.

Can't get rid of ventilate message on titanium plus machine

Try this, after opening hot water valve, push the knob in when it asks for ventilate. If that works then contact your nearest gaggia distrubutor and ask for a new stainless steel steam valve assembly.

Ventialtion error

Hi,

It´s probably the flow meter in the machine you have to replace, it´s like a water counter, if it not reach the right value then it not reset the ventilate sign.

Make sure to descale your machine regularly, the calcium is a very big problem for the machine.

My machine was stuck on rinse cycle now on ventilate...

Try first to continue filling up the water resovoir (UP TO FOUR times) to see if the machine completes the rinse cycle on its own. If that doesn't work contact Gaggia Customer Service in the US at 888-389-4123. Sally there was VERY helpful and should be able to resolve your problem.
