FAQ
Why is there no water from the group head when the pump is running?
This is almost always the three-way solenoid valve, sometimes combined with scale restriction. It's one of the most common faults we see on this platform.
Is the Gaggia Classic worth repairing?
In most cases, yes — parts are inexpensive and widely available, and the machine's simple architecture makes diagnosis reliable.
