Hi,

kurz vor Weihnachten streikte unsere " PrimaDonna Class “. Ein Gau für jeden Kaffeetrinker. Schnell über Online - Shops zwei Ersatzteile besorgt. Doch sie streikte immer noch. Dann die Wasserzuleitungsschläuche gereinigt. Nein, es gab immer noch keinen frischen Morgenkaffee aus dem heimischen Automaten. Dann ging ich exakt nach Deiner Anleitung vor. Yes! Sie funktioniert wieder.

Vielen Dank für die hilfreichen Tipps und ein schönes Weihnachtsfest.
