I'll jump in on the topic because I have the same coffee machine and a similar problem.
The coffee machine was regularly descaled, but some time ago I had the impression that less water flowed through the nozzles, instead a little of it always flowed into the tray.
Recently, however, I had a situation where, after the light suggesting descaling appeared, I continued to use the coffee machine for about a month, making several coffees a day. After this time, I noticed that the amount of water flowing from the nozzles decreased significantly. When the knob was set to approximately 1/4 of the power, water did not even flow from the nozzles. I finally descaled the coffee machine and it improved a bit. After about a week, I repeated the descaling to be sure. Things got worse immediately after that. So I descaled it again and this time the water stopped flowing from the nozzles altogether. It all goes into the tray.
What I did:
I almost disassembled it into the first parts. After entering the test mode and disconnecting the hose coming from the heater and entering the thermoblock (I marked the disconnection point in red in the photo), water flows from the hose after starting the pump. The pump itself looks perfect after disassembly. I disassembled the thermoblock, everything was clean inside, no scale, no coffee residue. I cleaned everything and put it back together. The seals look ok. The problem remains. I also disassembled the brewing module and cleaned it. Without changes.
Water from the thermoblock returns in every situation through the hose marked in green. It flows out of the thermoblock through this hose and into the steam clutch, and from there into the tray.
When you turn on the flow through the frothing nozzle, water flows normally from the nozzle.
Maybe someone knows what could be the problem when water flows into the thermoblock and immediately flows out of it through the hose next to it?
Added after 2 [hours] 47 [minutes]: I solved the problem. One seal inside the thermoblock piston looked heavily worn. The test mode showed 4,500 coffees, so I'm not surprised. After replacing this seal, the water flows so well that it takes your breath away.
