===Flow Issues===

The first place to start with any flow issue is cleaning the machine. Before going through these steps please make sure the machine is cleaned according to the Cleaning & Maintenance section above.

You may be able to manually prime your machine by accessing the technicians menu on your machine, which will allow you to run the pumps without interruption from any error codes. '''NOTE: If water does not begin flowing within thirty seconds of activating the pump, shut the pump off to prevent it from burning out.'''

===Machine Is Leaking===

----
====From Dispensing Spout====
If coffee is leaking around the spout assembly, or from the front of it, then it is not properly positioned on the machine. The spout assembly is designed to be removed for cleaning and to make room for larger beverage containers. When the spout is aligned incorrectly, coffee will flow through the machine improperly. This can cause coffee to leak around the spout, or even leak from the bottom of the front door, because the coffee is being redirected where it shouldn’t go. The dispensing spout should be flush with the very front of the square arm that it slides onto.

===My Brew Unit is Squeaking While Brewing or Rinsing===
If you hear a squeaking sound while brewing or rinsing, your brew unit o-ring likely needs to be lubricated. In some cases, your brew unit o-ring may need to be replaced. You can use Gaggia Food-Safe Lubricant or petroleum gel, such as Vaseline to lubricate the o-ring. Only a little bit of lubricant is needed.

|column_1 = The brew unit brews, as the name suggests, but, just as importantly, it's also responsible for tamping ground coffee into a consistent puck. Inside the unit are two tracks which should be lubricated every six months or so for best results in the cup. Watch the video on the right to get the low down on food safe lubricant and how to keep the brew unit functioning smoothly.
