Doesnt seem to be filling
Is the pump running (trying to fill). If so it sounds like the ilnlet solenoid valve is not opening or is blocked. If the pump is not running then the control P.C.B. may not be working properly or the water level probe is short circuit. Disconnect the water probe (top or side of boiler with a single wire attached) and listen for filling. If it starts filling after disconnecting the probe then replace the probe. I can't remember where the inlet solenoid is located in this machine but trace the water circuit from the inlet hose to the boiler and look for a rectangular brass block with a larger black plastic block attached and with 2 or 3 wires connected. Check for water flow to the inlet side and if water is getting to it, then replace this device with a new item. If no water is getting to it then trace the blockage in the circuit leading to it. It is possible but unlikely that the control P.C.B. is not sending power to this inlet solenoid but only check for voltage to it if you are comfortable with high voltage testing. If there is no voltage there when it is trying to fill then the P.C.B. is at fault. Good luck.
