Gaggia Accademia and Babila: Micro-switches and Sensors

Learn the location of micro-switches and sensors on the Gaggia Babila and Gaggia Accademia. By tricking the sensors, it's possible to solve problems like not being able to insert the brew unit, as well as trick the water sensor so the machine can be force primed. This video also covers how to remove a stuck brew unit. The internal door area and how the sensors operate will be the same for the 2022 version of the Accademia.
