Thank you 🎉 My machine is identical to the one in your video. I didn't have a oval bit/screwdriver, and stores are closer by now, so i heated a plastic pen and pressed it agianst the oval screw to shape it, and was able to unscrew them. After that, following your great instructions, i managed to fix the leak by cleaning the perforated plate, and clean out all the gunk buildup while at it. Again, thank you for allowing me to fix it for free instead of throwing it out 🤟

Thank you Adrian for making this and showing it to people 👍🙂 I had disassembled my unit once because of a loose water pipe... Now years later I wondered if the brewing chamber maybe got a crack but it seems like the punching plate and area where the holes are, is the problem now 😉😊 Keep up the good work! Cheers George

To dismantle the waterhose just open the brewing unit. Access will be much easier then. Thank you for your video. Your instructions were very useful.

Thank you. This really helped me discover why my machine was leaking. Turned out it was an insect caught between the nozzle and capsule plate

Nice job mate. If you open alot of these coffee machines, consider making a T or L shaped oval driver, or mod the existing one. This model has 4 screws to pop the main unit a bit out. So I used a 3 jaw chuck to sds adapter from my bosch hammer, and boy that grips on the screw so good you can't pull it out. The rest of 5 screws are for the rest of the bottom part, but if you only need to get the main unit up a bit so you can tackle the sides, take those 4 screws and the main unit is loose from the base. Make sure you don't pull too much, as the pipes from the water tank don't have much slack. I will take mine apart to clean it tomorrow, and I hope it's not the o-ring, even this is about 7-9y old. Thanks again for the video, as I was going to oder the whole brewing unit, but now I'll check where the water comes out, and try out the cleaning method first, as this machine was never cleaned. Cheers !

Brilliant video for coffee lovers & DeLonghi Nespresso machine owners... thanks for sharing! 👍 I had the same issue with a newer model (internal mechanics are identical) and I cleaned the perforating plate thoroughly using a toothbrush, ran a full cleaning cycle and used compressed air to gently blow through from both sides of the perforating plate & in through the nozzle. I then ran another cleaning cycle... and some of the gunk did actually come out. The leak on the inside appears to have been re-sealed... but I suspect that I will have to redo this cleaning operation every now and then.

Hi, We want to thank you for youre good video. Together with my girlfriend we repaired her koffiemachine and, thanks to this video, it worked super well! On both our behalf, thank you very much for posting this. Kind regards, B & A

Brilliant demonstration. I replaced the brew unit and it leaked badly. Then I cleaned the nozzle and all was fine! I wish I'd watched your video first! Thank you.

Thanks, I managed to repair my citiz spending just 5€ for the oval screwdriver. I was just going to throw ot away 😅

Cheers Adrian, I attacked my leaking Magimix last night and cleaned out all the holes. The nozzle was filthy dirty and I had good hopes this would solve the leaks. The good news is, the coffee produce the ends up in the cup is better again and the leak has gotten less. We still have some dripping left here, but after about 10 years, replacing the entire machine might become an option. Thanks a lot for the video, it's very instructive and by this I succeeded in not only taking the machine apart, but also putting back together and having it working again. Cheers and enjoy your coffee Paul

You’re the best! I just finishing repairing my D121 after following your video and it works great again. Thank you for the share

So to open the back of the macchine you ll need an oval key and a T10... Otherwise is a pain in the ass to open it...mine had the Same problem leaking and I have followed every step shown in the video and it really worked!! Thanksssssss 🎉

I have just cleaned mine (a machine found on the side of the road) and found a solid layer of coffee (like plastic ) lining where the pod goes, flicked it out and now runs perfect.

Great video, I have cleaned the plate and testing still shows a significant leak so have dismantled the brewing unit to access the o-ring. Can you please advise what size of o-ring is needed as a replacement. Thanks

Great video!!

I have found that a dental water flosser like the water-pik works wonders as a miniature pressure washer for cleaning tiny details like you have on this project. I have one of these that I bought at the thrift store. I wanted to use some parts to build an automatic pour over machine. The pump, and perhaps the boiling tank. However from the pictures it looks like the boiling tank is made from aluminum, which is what I am trying to avoid. Is the tank aluminum or stainless steel? Thanks.

Muito bom com está video aula eu consertei minha maquina Obrigado

me ajudou a solucionar o problema da minha nespresso! Parabéns pelo Trabalho.

Hi, thanks for the very helpful video. Unfortunately I have one just like it but it seems that the electric current doesn't make it turn on (I have already seen that the wires get electricity up to the buttons. What do you think could be the problem?

Once you remove the brew unit, you need to remove the basket to holds the capsule to get access to the o-ring.

Very nice job and sharing ! 👍

Hi Adrian, I think I have the same problem with my machine. Question: Have you changed the O-ring? Thanks for your answer.

Thanks a lot good tips it works very good.

I've got my machine apart. What is the diameter of the diffuser holes? They look clear after using a toothbrush but will also try the flossing! How easy is it to change the O ring? Great video, by the way!

Hi Adrian - I have the same machine as you repaired above. My machine was leaking through the bottom casing and I have disassembled it as you have shown above. However, Your video shows the back of the machine but I have a leaking hose connection inside the machine at the front side (milk heater side). I cannot see how to remove more of the black casing to get access to the loose hose and clip. Can you help please

Nice video. My machine leaks from the brewing mechanism down into the pod cup. BUT only when I use a pod. I e tested it without an actual coffee pod and it doesn’t leak. I can’t figure out why only when I put a pod in there. Any thoughts? I t has an o-ring and that piece with the tiny holes was clean nothing clogged. I cleaned it anyways.

Also, checked 4 hardware stores for the flat faced O ring, none had it. Is it important to have it flat on one side or can a typical O ring be used?

Hey, I have Nespresso Verto Plus GCB2, I am facing the problem of red light. When coffee comes out of the machine, it starts, then turn red light goes out, I checked the whole machine, even after changing the parts, still That problem is not going away. Now if you give me any information, thank you.

Good job Adrian

Hi I have nespresso essenza mini and I am trying to get to the nozzel section to clean any coffe recedue. Do you have a video which covers the essenza mini disassembly . I cant seem to loosen the top section (brewing mechnism bit)

Do you know how to remove that perforater plate in the magimix nespresso that has the automatic slider? I opened all the way but can't seem to get it out.

i didnt understand how do i make the screw driver for this? would you recommend to change it to a regular one?

Any ideas on how to get the screwdriver for the buttom? Can it be bought? ?

mine is leaking underneath the machine, what could that be? nothing in the dispenser

What size is the brew unit o-ring and where can I order one?

Thx for your very helpful video. But the quality of krups is not only cheap it´s also very difficult to repair. It starts with the head of the screws on the button. I replace them by screws with a torx head. The plate in the brewing unit is made of plastic. No metal ( very cheap ). When I try to move it out of the brewing unit I do not get the plate in one part, I got three parts. I have to order a new one. Horrible engineering.

I hava a problem when i turning on and i press the coffee button and the whole power trip any advice?

Consertei minha máquina, obrigado

Nice job thanks ✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for the good video. I did the cleaning but it is still leaking. I do not believe due to the o ring but I think it is because the plate part with the holes of the brewing mechanism is not replaced well. Is there a particular way to replace this part? How do I know that I did this correctly?

Hello, great video! Have you any idea where can I find the o’ring dimensions? Mine is leaking from the piston ring. Thank you!

Comment s'appelle la pince en plastique pour déclipser ? ou acheter ?

Very useful video, thankyou for this. BTW I am intrigued by your accent, which county are you from?

Still trying to figure this leaking problem out… does the O ring replacement need to be a flat-face O ring? Or will a standard O ring of the correct diameter be fine?

Thanks you! ❤

Thank you.

Jaki w twoim Daihatsu Ferozie jest silnik i ile ma koni mechanicznych

Grazie.

i want to clean the mschine from the inside of it. there is a black dirt coming out from the water. do you know what part i need to clean from inside?

Dear whats the screw that you have used?

How can I contact you Adrian? I have a question about this unit and would like to send you some photos for your thoughts

No need for special tool for opening the bottom. I jest clicked the sides off starting from above.

Super easy… step one, here’s a screwdriver that I MADE to enable me to get into the machine… 🤪

I watched you but not close enough. I put the round bit back in the wrong way around and nothing worked. I took everything apart and put it in the other way and it's started working. I couldn't see on your video which way you put it back

I have a unique problem, yes there is leaking but also, the capsule will not get perforated when the lever comes down. So no coffee at all!! I miss my coffee Adrian!! Help!

👍👏

I was repair more than 100 pcs of this machine.. they have a problem with electronics, if you descale and play with machine more than 30min constantly then you broke the electronics

Disgusting, looks like nobody descaled that machine....EVER! 💩 🤮 Depending on the water quality, you're supposed to descale about one per month. I live in Belgium where we have lots of lime in the water, and I descale about every 3 weeks. I recently took my machine apart because of a broken capacitor, but the inside was still like brand new. (video about replacing capacitor in German here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7OZe5N-zrS6qIk.html )
