The heating element is probably burned out!. Time for a new machine!. Since it's useless- try taking the thing apart to try and diagnose the problem-it may also be a wire that has come loose or burnt!. You can buy parts online if you want to try fixing it,search the specific brand you own!. The link show a good picture with labels-pay attention to the parts numbered 1,2 and 9!. Hope that helps!. Don't know about cost-would depend on your model!. If it's a cheaper kind, probably best to just buy a new machine!. If you have a thousand bucks invested, then the trouble and search could be well worth the effort!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Your expresso machine might be history!. They burn out very easily - I have probably had at least 5 in the last 10 years and none of them cheap either!.
I think the exposure to all that heat and pressure hastens the machines demise!. They are too small to take constant daily use before blowing out!.
I know the one I have right now is on it's way out!. It takes forever for the pressure to build before it starts to produce any coffee!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
