Re: Clean or Replace Solenoid?

Chris' recommended 1/3 cup acetic acid into the water reservoir, run the brew group, hot water and steam wand sequentially until the effluent is cloudy, and then wait overnight.

It runs a shot just fine, but when I dispense hot water the pump runs far longer than the water I dispensed indicates it shou...
