My Domestic Gaggia G 101D Espresso machine works fine but has started making very loud vibration noises when it is actually operating (i.e. heating the milk or dispensing coffee). It still performs well and I descale regularly. It was bought, new, 18 months ago and has very modest use(4 cups a day max.) .

Hi, It is possible that a stone has been lodged in your unground coffee beans, that can cause vibration. This is can be the case when beans are poured straight from pack.
