I have the same machine, and I also purchased her about three years ago! I just called a local shop the other day to find out what it costs to have it serviced, and it was around $89 - he charges more for the computerized ones. I'm not having any problems with mine, and he said they should be serviced every 3-5 years. I clean mine out as completely as I can, but I wouldn't know what to do beyond that.
