This has got to be one of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen on youtube. Just showing every step, no cuts, being 100% clear on what to do - amazing! Thank you a ton :)

Все понятно, без разговоров. Мастер своего дела.

Followed it step by step and it paid off! Got my machine working again like new! Thank you so much!!🙌

Agree with these comments. What an amazing, clear, detailed, no nonsense video!!! We need more people in the world like you!!!

Thank you for saving us! After two days of finding the right solution I just found your video and it really helped!

Thank you for your video! My coffee maker wasn't working, no coffee was coming out, but with your video, I dared to try, and everything went great. It works like new, thank you!

Very well explained. I managed everything to perfection. Thank you

Many thanks for sharing :) I wouldn't have tried without it! I disassembled both half-frames at the end to get good access to the yellow carriage sliders. Found out it may be easier to remove the fork at that stage than when it's inside as shown in the video.

This was very very useful!! Thank you very much ❤

Thanks for the video. It helped me to fix my machine.

It helped me fix my clogged machine. Thank you so much 🙏

Prima erklärt ohne Worte verständlich und Kinderleicht nachzuvollziehen. Danke hat mir eine menge Geld gespart.

Dank u voor de informatie. Prima geholpen het probleem op te lossen.

Great video. Thank you very much!

Lifesaver! Thank you!

excellent video. I cleaned my machine and replaced the washers. It was leaking water now it is working fine again. thank you 🙏🏽

Great! Tastes much better now!

great video!!!

Thanks a lot, i could repair my coffee machine

Amazing...thank you! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Really thank you so much 😊

Amazing work thank you from Canada! My brew unit valve is not engaging under full pressure so it won't pass coffee, the system just blows water past all seals wherever it can. With the spring and ball removed from the brew unit, coffee will flow, but of course not very tasty. Have you had this problem with the brew unit valve before and what would you recommend?

This is wonderful, thank you 😊

After removing the crema valve from the piston/tamping assembly from the brew unit of an older (5 + yrs) Saeco Exprelio Evo for the very first time, I noticed that there was no tapered spring and glass ball valve. We're these specific parts not required at the time of manufacture of my unit or could they have forgotten to install them at the factory? I took time to clean the screen and it appeared to be in good shape. I recently noticed a lot of coffee grounds scattered inside the housing. I plan on replacing the large piston O ring and hope that helps. Any other advice?

Thank You !! 👍👌✌️

Merci 🙏🏽 😁

THE BEST!!!

Thank you!

Thank you!!! 👌

nice video, but that long spring is located in one more plastic part (plastic tube) - that can be pulled out and there is one more slim O-ring ;) sorry for my bad english

Thanks man!

Thanks for the great Video! Which grease do you recommend? Where can I buy it?

Thank you!!!!!!!

Пошаговая инструкция от мастера очумелых ручек!

Hi. What kind grease do you use? Thanks a lot

WOW Thanks ;)

I have been having so many problems with my machine and I don't think the brew group was tamping properly. Lubricating it may just have done the trick. Thank you

Hello & thankyou for your tutorial, I have a Saeco Intelia HD8752 about 11 years old with the following issue: If the unit hasn’t been used for a few hours or the power plug is unplugged and plugged back in again, upon power-up, the automatic rinse cycle starts as it should: You can hear the pump groaning, sounds like it is blocked. This automatic start up rinse is either very slow with little intermittent hot drips taking many minutes for the cycle to complete - which then leads to normal use. OR No automatic start up rinse drips and therefore the process fails entering into ‘prime mode’ which also fails & leads to an unusable ‘maintenance spanner symbol’ code 5. The only way to bypass this is to unplug and re-plug in the power plug, power-up the unit, then as it tries to perform the automatic rinse cycle, manually press the STOP option to bypass the automatic rinse and then the machine can be used as normal & makes great coffee. Note: The above symptom’s got worse after I performed a de-scale cycle, which failed at the end with of the final rinse / prime - but fully worked up until that final point. Maybe there is lime scale lodged in one of the following places: 1. Boiler 2. Solenoid valve 3. Steam & water regulator Note: This is strange because it is 100% possible to run the manual rinse cycle as per the instructions: Press the ‘pre-ground’ coffee button (with no coffee in it), then press the coffee / memo button and it does a big hot rinse no problems at all. Also, after use, when the unit is powered off, it performs a small rinse cycle with continuous hot running water coming out the dispenser, but only for a very short time. I have totally re-built the brewing unit per various KZfaq demonstrations with new stainless steel plunger screen + plunger o-ring, disassembled & blasted out all the tiny holes in the plastic plunger, made sure all the elbows and holes are clear and clean, installed the valve spring and glass ball correctly, greased all the o-rings, sliders and pivots. I have also fully taken apart the dispenser locater under the LCD display, disconnected the tube that connects to the brew unit, blasted water + compressed air through it so that it is 100% clear. Fully internally cleaned out the dispenser unit. I have calibrated the coffee grinding unit. The other issue I have is that that GREEN does not work on the LCD display - however I can still faintly see the LCD instructions - enough to get by. I haven’t run the LCD display diagnostics because that is too difficult to see / follow. But it seem like the pump + grinder & heater all work. I have disconnected & reconnected the LCD & checked the other wires, but can’t see any damage. Years ago the green would flicker on every now and then, but dead these days..

Should you be able to blow air through the part you remove 00:17 ?

Merci

Wow. Great video. Mine works still ok, but I assume one of the o-rings are wrong, because at start I can hear and see some steam on the side. Any idea which o-ring to replace?

Great video, thanks! I took apart the brew group to my 13 year old Gaggia Platinum Swing Up, but.... there was NO little spring and glass ball (shown at 0:20). Did the older brew groups not have one? No one has taken this apart before me. I've put it back together, and it's working as it did before. Should I get one, and put it in??

Perfect video! Can You please provide the o-rings measurements that are used in the brewing unit. Also shoult they be changed at regular basis or after inspection?

hello from Ukraine, thanks for HELP)your video helps me to find the place of small ring)))good luck, subscribe for you grow

Thanks! Can this maintenance also solve the spontaneously opening door when making coffee with my xelsis?

legend

Thanks for the video. Can you do a short one as to how the brew head works and make coffee?

Super thuis up

Great job on the video! I cleaned my brew group, but my machine still doesn’t dispense. After taking it apart and trying to get it to run, I found if I remove the glass bead and spring it works, but makes awful coffee. The o rings on the nozzle from the machine to the brew group look to be in good shape. I have very hard water. I clean it with vinegar every time the light comes on to descale. Is my pump shot? What do you think? I’d be grateful for your input! Thank you.

Great Video ... THUMBS UP! Should something like this be done every 1 to 2 yrs to maintain your brew unit? or was this just for a specific fix?

what do you call the spring in 4:49? and the little ball he dropped into the hole there? i didn't have one in my coffee machine

Where could I get just the spring with the small white piece on it? Thanks for explaining it so well.

Hello, i have one question. I have EP4346 coffee machine. Yesterday i was cleaning brew unit, i removed and washed it. When i was cleaning brew unit slot area, i saw a very small washer which is dark brown color . I could not find where this washer dropped from. Do you have any idea?

Hi! Any suggestions, please, why after servicing my brew group and changing all O rings - the fresh grounded coffee dropping over the back side of the brew group? Any idea, what I made wrong?

hello! my brew group makes a really loud "CROP" noise when i try to power down my coffee machine after making coffee. I am guessing the brew group is going back to home position. Is this a sign that i need to overhaul my brew group already. i have had the coffee machine for only half year so far and made maybe less than 500 cups thus far? Kinda way too early for me to overhaul the BG for me but i thought i should ask first!

Great! can you pls share a link for grease type to use ? generally i can find only 5gr tubes (very expensive)

Welcome! What do you use as a cleaning liquid?

Thanks !

You can also apply on the O-ring

Attention, the last detail can be directed both to the left and to the right, depending on the model.

Ciao, saluti da Italia! Devo macinare il caffè più fine, come posso regolare il macinino? Anche se regolato al minimo il caffè è grossolano ed esce acquoso

Hello and thank you for this very clear video. I have a problem with my Philips Lattego 5400: I clean it roughly every 2 weeks and I find a lot of coffee grounds everywhere in the body of the machine itself. Every time the machine asks me to empty the water and coffee grounds, I find lots of coffee grounds in the dirty water container and there are coffee grounds accumulated everywhere when I remove the unit 154206 :( However, the machine makes coffee normally, that's what I don't understand... Could you tell me what is not working correctly?

My gaggia leaks coffee into the grounds drawer, half goes into the cup half into the drawer could u please tell we which o-ring to replace

Как часто, промывать и смазывать блок, без разборки?

can you please help me ? after cleaning the brew unit, my coffee machine just gives a very light coffee even with maximum setting . do you maybe know what the issue is ? with kind regards Danny

почему не разобрали основной корпус заварочного блока? Приводной механизм желтого цвета, который внутри блока, подвергается нагрузке и требует смазки.

Hello can you tell me measurement of the rubber sealing from plastic tube on 0:54 s I need to replace it. Thx

Hello sir. I need some help. How do we repair the SWITCH to pull this one out? It was forced so it lost its original position. I was trying to pull that part out while the machine was ON because I was going to put back the recently cleaned tray, and while pulling this one and pressing the switch (which is so hard while the coffee machine is on) I accidentally snapped it and never went back to its original position. Any tips please? 😢 Would highly appreciate your help.

Holy crap, this is too much work! How often are you doing this to a brewing machine? Every 12 months?
