Aurelia service: from a bar complaint to a repair proposal
What information helps with an Aurelia service request and how bench diagnosis turns a symptom into a repair decision.
Describe what the barista loses
“The Aurelia needs service” leaves several different jobs open. One group may deliver less water, a steam valve may drip after closing, or the whole machine may stop heating. Start with the function that changed and the point in the shift when you noticed it. Include the machine generation and control panel.
The most useful record is a short sequence: what you selected, what the machine did, and what stayed on the display. Keep settings as they were when the fault occurred. Changing doses, temperatures, and cleaning products together makes it harder to compare before and after.
Diagnosis has a defined question
For uneven flow, we investigate the affected brewing path. For a valve that does not close, we inspect that valve and its related seals and connections. For absent heat, we examine the heating controls and circuit. Those are investigation paths, not promises that a particular part will need replacement.
We discuss the findings before repair. A general maintenance request and a fault repair can overlap, but they are not identical approvals. Ask for the work you want assessed, including any other symptom you have been putting off.
Plan for the machine’s absence
Our normal Aurelia route is collection, bench work, then return. Tell us about access and fixed connections before collection is arranged. An urgent booking does not establish when a part will arrive or when the machine will be ready. Diagnostics and repair timing are listed below so you can plan coffee service while the equipment is away.
Documentation
Find the matching Aurelia generation in Simonelli USA’s equipment documents. Keep that operator manual with the machine’s model and serial information.
Pickup, assessment, and return
Commercial deposit: $200 to $450, selected by model. Additional bench work: $150 an hour.
The deposit pays for collection, bench diagnosis, and delivery back to you. It is not a credit against the repair charge. We seek your approval for the proposed repair.
Allow up to a week for diagnosis. Most repair jobs run 3–4 weeks; confirm the status of your own machine with us.
Repair coverage: parts 6 months; labor 6 months; consumables 90 days. A return of the same repaired fault is corrected without another charge.

Before you book
Is maintenance automatically included with a repair?
Describe both requests when booking. The proposed work should identify what will be repaired and what maintenance you want approved.
