Hi, can anyone offer me some advice on my machine?
My machine has just developed a leak. It leaks from the top of the left hand side of the machine, next to the warming plate, coming through the seam at the top at its middle point. At the moment there is only a little water, perhaps 5ml, but I believe it is increasing in volume.
The water is hot and it is only water, not coffee. It runs down the side of the machine and forms a pool below it. I also get a very small amount of steam from the very left side of the metal cup warmer at the top, where there is also a little calcium deposited.
I am happy to try to repair it myself, having worked a little on my Siemens S20 machine beforehand. I've looked on the internet for a simple guide to opening the machine, but I cannot find one, so can I ask:
Firstly, what is the likely source of the leak? I have seen a diagram which made me wonder if it was the 3-way junction pipe which might be at this point?
Secondly, can anyone link me to a guide to opening the machine?
Many thanks in advance - it's a great machine, and the dual hoppers for beans are particularly helpful, I find.
