Hi Jim, could I have some advice too? I have never ever used milk in my Barista T Smart so do not know if it is working, but I do have less coffee than it used to be in the same settings, sometimes less than half. And sometimes I do not get any coffee from it while it sounds like it makes coffee (I assume it drips in the tray). What could be wrong with it?

What are the symptoms that lead to replacing the valve? Would be useful to include this detail.

You need to show us how to take side and top panels off - they are really tricky and breakable.

My machine has started to have these sizling/fizling noises after using milk so I suppose it is the ceramic valve? Is it possible just buy the the ceramic valve instead of the the whole kit including the motor?

Hi Jim do you happen to have a service manual for the machine?

Hi, I have an issue when changing the filter it is not taking enough water. Do you know this issue?

Hi, I’m after some advice from you. I have the barista ts machine. Firstly it started to take no milk in and also not draw any hot water through. It would just dump it in the drip tray. At this point it was still producing coffee. However, after running out of water it will now not take in any water to fill the machine. Can you help identify what’s wrong? Thanks in advance.

Now I got the dreaded flashing "The drip tray is missing" on the screen. When I measure the tray switch I got 1.5V when not engage and 0V when engage. Is this normal?

Hi Jim, my machine started giving me less and less milk and then it stopped drawing milk up completely so I started doing my milk separately. Then it stopped giving me coffee too?

I have a brand new barista ts smart and instead of foaming it spitting milk, I tried sucking milk from the melitta container and also from a cup , tried cleaning it with cleaning solution and to put the milk container on high place and nothing seem to work! any idea what could it be?

So I have returned mine twice because it stops grinding and says that the beans are empty (they aren't). I clean and empty and clean more and refill and repeat multiple times then give up and return it. Melitta says 'oh we just cleaned it and now it works'. Hmmmm. Anyway, it has happened again and I just can't be bothered to box it up and return it AGAIN. Is it worth taking the back/top/other side off and trying to fiddle with the sensor? Or should I give up and chuck it away (am tempted to as it's been such a pain).

Hi Jim, the caffeo barista machine we have has stopped taking on water. Any idea of how we can fix this? We think it needs descaling but not sure how to perform the operation.

How did you get the panels off?

What is a part number of this valve and where did you order it? from germany?

Hi Jim, when i put the brewing unit in - i have a clicking noise like somethin is not connecting. It goes on for around 10 seconds, stops then another 15 seconds and then the machine says error 8 and switches off. Any ideas :( ?

Hi Jim, my machine isnt pumping any milk, could this valve be the problem?
