Steam knob replacement - Saeco Magic Cappuccino Espresso&Cappuccino Machine

Replace the steam valve. It is not very hard to do and you can find a new valve with a Google search.

It is possible to attempt a repair but it is as hard to just replace the valve and repaired valve usually leak a bit.

you need to replace the steam valve

It is better you replace the whole steam valve assembly and it is not so complicated to fix

Have you turned the steam valve off tightly and cracked the knob inside allowing it to turn on the brass spindle.Try pulling the knob off and turning the spindle with a pair of pliers or a small adjustable spanner.If the spindle keeps turning you may have sheared the spindle off inside.If this is the case you will need a new steam valve complete as they are not repairable.Steam valve cost about 35
Tools required 5 mm alan key and 17 mm spanner for steam pipe

I have had the same problem and the repair will not be onerous. You can buy a new steam knob on coffeemaker website (here the link for a new steam knob) but also on a lot of other web sites.

Don't forget to grease the screw that holds the steam knob. I have used some vaseline to mahe the replacement easier.

Hello Dolls36,

I understand you have two questions the lever question I assume you are taking about the steam lever. The second question is how do you descale the unit.

Lets answer the first question first. The steam lever is not a lever but a knob. The knob is located on the right side of the unit.
1. Put container under steam tube turn knob downward to open until you get steam
2. Once you get steam turn knob upward to close
3. Put item you want to steam under steam tube and open valve back up to steam

Now to answer the question about how to descale the Incanto De Leluxe. When you are ready to descale the machine follow these steps.
1. Hold down the "x" button for 5 seconds, the machine will tell you it is ready to descale
2. Remove the filter
3. Fill the water tank with your descaling solution
4. Insert a container under the steam tube and open the steam valve
5. The machine will display descaling and finished
6. Then it will prompt you to fill tank with clean water for rinsing.
7. Press the "x" button once tank is full
8. Place container under steam tub and turn knob to open steam tube
9. When finished press "x" button one more time to confirm done
10. Replace water filter and fill tank

I hope that I have answer you question as for question 1 I assumed that is what you were asking about. However, if that was not the right question please post back to this tread and I will be more than happy to answer the question that you specify.

Thank you for choosing FixYa.com

Sounds like you have a striped knob and your valve is frozen. You will have to replace your steam manifold and valve.

Hi
Unplug the machine!
First remove the steam knob. hole below the steam knob. Straight blade screw driver. loosen the screw about 2 turns and the steam knob will unscrew.
next remove the 2 screws on the front.
Next remove the 4 screws on the under sides of the machine.
The top will slide back and off.

Hi What color is the steam manifold? It is located under the black cover with the trough in back under the whit tube. If its whit or black it probably needs to be replaced. If you cool down the manifold after steaming you can prevent this from happening. Just turn off the steam and then open the knob again to run water. It comes out steam at first but then will turn to a water stream. Then you can close the knob and go about brewing or just let it stand.
