A, doesn't dispense coffee, only water
I'd be so grateful if anyone could please provide me with some information about how to find an instructions and specifications manual for this machine, to try my hand at troubleshooting it. All I can read on the machine is this: Model Faema d92/a fabrication 082014 01310831520 date of manufacture 05-2000 As I bought it second hand and it had been on storage for quite a while, I can't make it to dispense coffee. Thank you very much for your help.

This will take some time so bear with me.
The problem with the machine is most likely the solenoid valve(black or blue electrical box connected on the side of the group), for easier access remove the front panel there are about 5 screws holding it in place, 2 on the bottom and 3 on the top under-side. Disconnect or turn off the water supply. Then using a 14mm open end wrench remove the nut and the discharge pipe. Do Not remove the 4 small allen wrench screws on the brass piece connected to the machine. Now remove the electrical box over the silver pipe, and using a cressent remove the silver pipe from the brass rectangle square. Slowly open the water supply, if water shoots out then the head is clear, we will move on if not, use a pin and clean the middle hole. Check the silver pipe also there is a small plunger in there press it in if it moves freely then we are good, if not you can try soaking it in puro caff until it clears or just get a new solenoid coil. Remove the shower screen and screw in the group head, you can soak those also.
If you still cannot get water, then we will have to go deeper into the machine.
