As a previous commenter wrote, excellent video! I am having problems with my solenoid valve, and do not want to pay for shipping and wait 3-4 weeks for repair. This gives me all the info I need.
1) Yes it is. 2) All 3 can be safely back flushed. I would recommended to perform this procedure at least once a month as the solenoids can seized easily.
Apparently this type of valve is used in many different applications. This valve is not an OEM Gaggia spare but it was fully compatible - and it still works ;)
Very helpful video, thank you. I wanted to find out how to take mine apart to replace a fuse, as it does not power on at all. On dismantling the unit however I cannot find a fuse! Is there one inside the machine, if so where? Cheers.
So am I correct in assuming: 1) The 3-way solenoid valve is after the boiler in the water path? 2) The New Baby, Baby Class and Baby Twin machines can all safely be back flushed?
I just cleaned my Selenoid valve in my Baby Class and now I'm getting steam coming out of the head. It makes great coffee and the steamer still works but I'm wondering why there is also steam coming out when I warm up the frothing part.
Good morning, my Gaggia turns on and after a while it turns off or doesn't turn on. In particular, when I press the switch it heats up but the lights do not come on or go off immediately but it remains on and heats up only that it does not allow coffee to be made. Could it be the video valve?
My machine made a strange noise when I switched it on and stopped working.No power and light now. How do I know if it is the slenoid or something else.?
Broken solenoid would not cut the power to the machine. In your case it is a broken fuse(which still could be caused by faulty coil in solenoid) or dead PCB (unfortunately very common in these machines). The only way to tell is to test it in for faults in few places - basic multimeter will do.
Mój ekspres właśnie umiera :( po niecałych 10 min się wyłącza i żeby ponownie zadziałał trzeba go całkowicie wystudzić. Parzenie kawy to loteria czy zdążę. co jest do wymiany, t.z. jaka część
+sirbagin Ja mam Gaggie Baby Dos ale w środku są prawie takie same. Zauważyłam w środku że ma stopiony trochę kabelek (za blisko bojlera był) który idzie od płyty do przedniego panela z przyciskami, może to być przyczyna tego wyłączania się ?
Jasne ze aktualne! Nie pobiera mi wody i halasuje strasznie. Generalnie malo czesci (albo i zadna) nie byla wymieniana od poczatku. Czy w Twoich zainteresowaniach lezy naprawianie ich?:) chetnie zaplace ;)

Brilliant video. Shame i did not see it before it sent my Gaggia for repairs
Thanks for the video - very helpful. Saved me some nerves and money ;-)
I'm glad it was helpful. Now I have a new fault with my machine, maybe new video?!

@miguelpaleta I'm glad you liked it. Couple more Gaggia vids is coming soon, so subscribe if you want.
It is possible and quite easy... I've modded mine recently and the video is on its way :)
Is that new type of solenoid valve put in place of an old type it looks bigger
Great video - thanks

Mam taką "na części", w mojej padnięta jest płyta główna - objawy takie same.

Hej! Prowadzisz może serwis Baby Gaggia Twin ? :) Bo akurat mam taki model i za cholerę nie wiem co się zepsuło. Poza tym, że woda mi nie leci :)
Przepraszam, ze tak pozno. Jak nadal aktualne to opisz dokladnie zachowanie
Jasne ze aktualne! Nie pobiera mi wody i halasuje strasznie. Generalnie malo czesci (albo i zadna) nie byla wymieniana od poczatku. Czy w Twoich zainteresowaniach lezy naprawianie ich?:) chetnie zaplace ;)
Przepraszam najmocniej ale dopiero teraz natknąłem się na Twoja odpowiedz. Daj znać jeżeli mogę pomoc.
Właśnie dzisiaj umarł ten zawór w mojej GBT, strzela jak oszalała. Wymiana widzę nie jest skomplikowana, gorzej z dostępnością zamiennika.
Cześć. W Anglii 60zl odnawialny 220 zł nowy... To z eBay jak się pogrzebie to nowy za 160zl da się wyrwać

Dzięki za cynk.
Wybiorę się do lokalnego autoryzowanego serwisu, najpierw dowiem się za ile oni mogą to ściągnąć.
I think I have the same problem with my machine.
Where can I buy this solenoid valve?
Thanks.
hmm good video.
