Hi,
My Delonghi Prima Donna ESAM 6600 has stopped dispensing hot water (again). It has been repaired under extended warranty twice in the past for this problem. The symptoms are, when the hot water dispense button is pressed, the display shows "hot water" for about 5 seconds and nothing happens, the display then reverts back to the standard "ready for coffee" message. There is no click from the solenoid and no pump activity. The machine dispenses espresso with no problem so that side of the water circuit is OK. I have accessed the test menu and checked out both solenoids. Both sound to be operating OK. Something is stopping the water dispense cycle from starting. The same thing happens when any milk heating or frothing is required. Without a service manual it is very difficult to check this out. Has anyone got any ideas, or pointers to where I might find a service manual. I have searched and not had any luck. I am a competent engineer and have fixed a number of gaggia and saeco machines in the past.
Cheers
Roger
