We have a Gaggia Accademia, now 9 months old. After three months horrified to see a tab had come away from the 'Accademia cappuchino system' after careful cleaning, as per instructions, definitely not heavy handed as well aware of plastic tabs, rather than steel/chrome. Now, this morning (12/04/11) , lo and behold another tab floating in my latte machiano from the front head of the cappuchino system. So now the 'swing part' top silvered piece that dispenses milk, now delicately hanging by one plastic tab. We are devastated, as only domestic use at home and now worried that we will not be able to get a replacement, for either. Any assistance/advice would be appreciated.

Pull off entire plastic wand off by unscrewing the top plastic piece. Inside the piece that connects to the screw top you should see two o-ring type spacers. The top one should be hard pastic and the one beneath should be rubber. Take the entire unit apart and clean, making sure to put all pieces back in the way they came out.

To put back on, take the top piece and put it back on the metal stem first then put the rest of the wand back on and gently push it as far up the metal stem as possible and screw back together. If you don't have the rubber spacer this could be the problem since the wand really has nothing grabbing onto the metal stem except for the rubber spacer. If this doesn't work, order another wand:

Hi, Error 19 is not known by me. Sounds like something is not resetting or has failed. Try turning off the machine at the main power switch and unplug it from the wall for a few minuites. Remove the dreggs draw and drain tray and replace them before you plug it back in. This will allow the machine to reset. Dazza REPAIRER

Screw a self tapping screw into the perished rubber seal. Then pull it out with a pair of pliers.
