3-Way Solenoid Valve Assembly
The 3-way solenoid is responsible for directing water to the group head and exhausting pressure to the drip tray post-extraction. If the internal plunger fails to seat due to scale buildup or seal swelling, pressure is bypassed to the exhaust port during the brew cycle, preventing the gauge from reaching the 'Espresso' zone.

Over Pressure Valve (OPV)
The OPV is a spring-loaded relief valve designed to cap the pump's output at approximately 9-10 bar. Mechanical fatigue of the internal spring or a compromised silicone seat will cause the valve to open prematurely, bleeding pressure back into the water reservoir and resulting in consistently low gauge readings.

Group Head Gasket (54mm Silicone)
The group head gasket creates a high-pressure seal between the portafilter and the brew head. As the silicone becomes brittle or compressed over time, it fails to maintain the hydraulic seal required to build back-pressure against the coffee puck, allowing pressure to escape around the rim of the basket.
