Step-by-Step Fix
Follow these steps specifically for Lavazza machines:
- Prime the Lavazza pump by activating the steam function for 30 seconds with the wand pointing up.
- Inspect the inlet hose for kinks. On Lavazza machines, a clogged tank filter restricts flow.
- Check the flow meter for debris. Remove and rinse with warm water.
- Verify the water level sensor is not stuck. Gently tap the sensor housing to dislodge it.
