I have tried unscrambling your paragraph of confusing grammar but am still left with many questions.

What do you mean your valve busted?

Do you get water to your valve?

When you press your dispense button, do you hear the metallic click if the valve turning on?

If you do hear that, do you get water coming out if the valve? If you do, clean your group.

If you don't, did you put the valve on backwards? If you are sure that your valve is on right and it still doesn't let water through, get a new valve.
