how do I fix this? (i.redd.it)

Switch it to another machine make sure it's the splitter being clogged, could be a bigger issue.If it is clogged, try soaking in a pitcher of hot water with dissolved espresso cleaning tabs for 10 minutes or so, before using pipe cleaner type brush to push through debris.

That piece can easily be ordered without a tech coming out, but won't be there right away.

Thanks, I did everything I could but nothing fixed it so I just used the spare we had on hand.

Is the shot splitter clogged?
Blue_Eyed_Foxy [OP] 14 points 1y ago
Yes, but I don't know how, I took it out and ran a pipe cleaner through the clogged side, the top and the screw in front and it 8s still clogged.

I’m pretty sure ecosure requires that you have spare ones in the store, same with the steam wands. Ask your SSVs and SM.

If not, you can take a screw driver and a small Allen key to remove the screws, then you can use the pipe cleaners to get a more thorough cleaning.

I usually use a sanitizer rag fold it up and close the side that has water coming out so it forces water through the other

deep clean the entire machine it sounds so weird but anytime there’s ever a problem w the bar 9 times outta 10 a real deep clean will fix it

It's so dirty because the damn shot splitter is clogged. Which is why I reached out for help but you don't seem to realize that.
