Got another one form wll. While waiting the brew pressure dropped to indicated 4 bar, water just pouring into drip tray.
Installed the new unit and it also brewed with lower pressure, screwed it down all the way and got 8 bar. Over the next 4 days brew pressure rose until 12+ bar. I backed the screw back and now pressure is stable at 9bar. Wonder if this is caused by air? I sort of remember something similar when I replaced before. Anyway, all set no. I'd open the old one but my harbor freight snap ring pliers were destroyed in the attempt.
