I've picked up a new valve and replaced it last night and it ran fine through
the day. I also had a fiddle around to ensure all visible electrical
connections looked fine.
Turned on the machine as usual this morning...and the original problem has
re-appeared. It heats up, but then the gauge drops to zero and there's no
pressure on the steam or hot water...any other ideas of what it might be?
Cheers,
Gus
