Oster Counterforms 4281 Coffee Maker Questions & Answers
I have a Oster expresso machine model BV 7701 that has leaking water and lack of pressure. As I am in Mexico there are limited parts and service options. Is it an easy fix??
First I'm not a OSTER tech. But I have worked on similar table top semi-automatic machines. You should call your vendor for service as there is no customer serviceable parts in this machine. (Yes, I know you tried)
*** the following is for information only. ***
* If your leaking at or under the water tank then check for crack or you may be missing a rubber seal, o-ring, or washer. Replace the whole tank as a unit.
* If your leaking at the bottom, drip tray, or side only when the pump buzzes (pumping water) then there is a cracked or disconnected hose line or fitting. Check the hoses to the pump.
* If your leaking when the steam wand is in use then there is a similar problem with the 2nd pump system.
* The pressure is usually preset in the vibration pump. Some pumps have an adjustable spring regulator but since you have not touched this then either the spring is broken or stuck. You will have to disassemble the pump which is very tedious. I will leave several links below. Take your time and lay out the parts on a clean (colored) towel. Avoid using a white towel as some parts are also white.
* Final; Leaking water and electrical equipment is not a good idea. Best to be safe. Unplug, wipe down, and look for leaks.

PS Okay sorry I thought there was a posted video of the actual dis-assembly of the vibration pump. Looks like I will have to post my own tear down of this type of pump. I have several old ones. They are common on Amazon.com

Coffee cool fast after brewing
Check the hot plate at the bottom of the coffee maker, it should be hot and there is usually a setting to have it remain hot for 1-3 hrs.
