Troubleshoot leaking OPV on the Quick Mill Vetrano.
My OPV Is Leaking/Water Is Running Out of It
If the OPV in your Quick Mill Vetrano Design is leaking or water is running out of it, the guide below can help you determine the cause of the leak and how to correct it.
- If the machine is fully heated and still leaking consistently or water is just pouring out of it. Lift the brew lever up and down and listen for a “click” from the intake solenoid. If the solenoid is clicking, removal and cleaning of the intake solenoid is necessary. Definitely do this if the water dripping out becomes steam, and steam is pouring out of the drain.
- With no portafilter in place, lift lever. If no flow out of the group head is present and water is flowing from the drain, remove the top of the group head and inspect the jet for a blockage.
- If water is just running through out of the discharge and the pump is constantly running. A blockage may be present on the intake line into the boiler, this can be removed and inspected, or the machine will need to be sent in for repair/hydraulic system descale.
