Introduction

The seals of the inlet valve are under a lot of strain and need to be replaced from time to time. The replacement is easy. This will show you how to do this.

These instructions may also help with other Saeco models and with coffee makers from Philips and Gaggia—they are all made by the same manufacturer and have a very similar design.

Step 1

Open the side panel and remove the brewing unit.

Step 2

Remove the drip tray underneath the brewing unit.

Step 3

Unscrew the four Torx T10 screws that hold in place the cover of the inlet valve.
Remove the cover.
Clean well the inside and back panel of this cover.

Step 4

You can replace the seals, it's even better if you remove the nozzle completely.
Replace the gaskets using a blunt tool, such as a spatula.
The upper gasket is larger.
Smear the gaskets with silicone grease.
To remove the nozzle, you have to unscrew the two T10 Torx screws.

two more screws allow the inlet valve to be detached from the machine. pulled toward you & out. then it can be cleaned more thoroughly, & O ring replacement is easier. & two small o rings behind can be replaced

Yes, that's right! Pretty much like this one: Revise The Saeco Odea support valve.

Step 5

Here you see the removed socket. Note the double O-rings. They may get stuck in the opening.
Open the valve. To do this, the slot at the upper end must be twisted a little, then the inside comes out. Check the spring, the valve stem and the two seals. When assembling, pay attention to the correct position of the valve stamp: it must point to the water inlet side, otherwise the valve will not open!
Replace the seals on the nozzle and lightly grease them with food grade silicone grease.
If the two green O-rings no longer seal properly, the valve is no longer working. Replace the seals.

Hi,

die Feder wird genau anders herum eingebaut, also nicht mit der schwarzen Kappe nach vorne wie auf dem Bild abgebildet, sondern nach hinten, sonst kommt kein Kaffee raus ;-)

Hi !
Yes it is !
Please correct the picture or something to avoid mistake.

Je pense que c'est une valve qui évite le retour le liquide.
Dans le bon sens, la pression fournie par la pompe comprime le ressort et le liquide passe.
