Vivaldi II / S1 hot water solenoid issue

Post by emyllymaki »

HI, I had a drippy hot water spout so I took it apart and cleaned it out. It actually seemed to make it worse :/

I installed a replacement solenoid and it has not fixed the problem at all. The dripping also continues after the machine is shut off, for a while (I'm guessing until the steam pressure level goes down?)

Not too sure what to do next- your input appreciated.

Also, fitting this replacement is odd in that the pins on it are at 180 degrees to the one it is replacing so the cable has to do a sharp 180 degree bend and sit in a funny angle - not too sure what can be done about that. I'm probably missing something obvious...

Did you just replace the solenoid or did you replace the solenoid AND valve? Just replacing the solenoid won't fix it. In all likelihood the problem was never the solenoid, just the valve.
