I'm not sure what it is, but lately I started to notice following:

  1. Machine idle (ON) for number of hours - I keep it on timer 7am to 7pm
  2. When I come in to pull a shot - I do flush until it stops steaming. I expect water gurgling and steaming coming off and nothing comes out. I can hear pump but no water comes out and later it starts to come out but no steam. PID shows proper 252-253
  3. After water comes out - I see PID shows 250-251 which is unusual for amount of water like that to bring temperature down.
  4. If I get some water out of hot water wand - than it seems to start working OK

My wife uses machine to get hot water out of it during day time.

Any idea what can it be?

What type of water are You using?
External feed, or from internal reservoir?
