my coffee machine I've had for over 5 yrs, has just started leaking when I go to make a cup of coffee. water fills the catch basket quickly. I think I may have a bad seal? Don't know. Will someone help me? Where can I send it to get it fixed?
I get the same exact thing, which seals need to be replaced and how? The dealer I buy the cartridges/capsules from tells me its air trapped in the machine blocking water pressure, that needs to be released through the froth/steam wand. I make steam for a bit, but the problem still persists. This dealer is also an authorized Lavazza machine repair center, but as you can see they just come up with excuses and when I do send in the machine they can't find anything wrong with it. I'm willing to bet its the Lavazza cartridges/capsules that are defective, if you notice some are malformed, bottom filter on the cartridge a little off not covering whole bottom, I order in quantities of 200 and some batches I get work flawless and others just give me problems. I'm willing to bet its a problem at the Lavazza factories that make these cartridges.
Same thing. It gets a bit worse all the time. Now it also drips through the espresso spout when making hot water. The dealer says the seals need to be replaced.
I had the same problem, there is a O-ring seal between the heater and water feed...U have to remove apprx 8 allen screws on the top of the heater plate, remove the wiring connectors from the heating element and overload sensors and the heater plate romoves from the attached bottom plate. The seal is located on the center nipple and is apprx 1/8" round. Replacing it with a seal from the hardware store corrected my problem...GOOD LUCK!
