I am a humble office drone with a Barista Express and a small working knowledge of appliance repair (very small). please can i compliment you on walking me through fixing the pressure and flow meter issues so cleanly, calmly and thoroughly - i managed to fix a thing!! really appreciate your explanations and honesty
Imagine my surprise at seeing you dismantle the machine with a humble Phillips screwdriver after being told by some commentator that it was sealed & proprietary. I thought there would be secure torx screws securing the unit. Well done Aju 😊
Brilliant. Was so close to getting a new machine after trying two new silicon rubbers with no result. My coffees taste even better now. Tightening screws removed all the side spray from my machine. It did take patience and 2 hours...watching and rewatching. I ended up with 3 extra screws...and one white piece which fell off while taking back off. I also drilled holes for the future. I'm thinking maybe draw a template that allows holes to be drilled without the two hours of pulling apart and putting back together...you could print off and drill from template. Thanks again!!
Did you ever get around the making a template? I'm facing the same issue and replacing the rubber gasket does no good. Even with all of the resources available, I'm dreading taking the machine apart.
Thanks the for Video. Do you know how to remove the dark gray cover in front of the machine? I want to tighten the group head and need access to the screws that are on the side of the group head. To get there I need to remove that whole plate
You need to strip the whole machine. I have a machine that came for similar repair. So if i get time I'll post a video how to tighten those group head screws
@@AjusCafe I got it! Thanks. For the bottom two screws, those are just not there on mine and i can't get it off. Assuming I have to remove the entire foot pad to see them
Great video Aju! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video and film it so well. Our BES870XL was tripping the breaker every time the solenoid engaged (when we press 1 cup or 2 cup button). Off to Amazon to buy the replacement part. Hope it’s not too difficult to replace! Thanks again!
@@calibour37 i managed to replace one of the two pump solenoids and it worked for a couple days and then started tripping the breaker again but only when using the double shot button; a day later and all buttons were tripping the breaker. I was gonna try replacing the other solenoid but our 2 week summer vacation disrupted the process and now i don’t even feel up for troubleshooting this trash. We had ours for 2 years and the warranty only covers one year. I did the math and I might as well have been paying a coffee shop to make my coffee over two years! Breville needs to extend the warranty or provide repair options.
@@ColdPillowz Re: Breville, their "support" is horrible. You're right, for the price of these units, they should be offering better tech support and repair videos. But then they wouldn't be able to charge the $295 service charge!
easy as pie after watching this video. I have an issue with no pressure on the steam wand, how can I tell which of those plastic tubes would be the one feeding the steam wand so I can check for mineral deposits?
Usually its the steam wand itself. You need to clean it the steam wand thoroughly. ruclips.net/video/DWivoLznT8Y/видео.htmlsi=S_AooKbDLccH9RRg If it doesn't help at all, then it could be the steam wand gasket that switches from hot water to steam failing. Does hot water have enough pressure?
nice as far as you went. However, more of the external panels need to be removed to access the screws holding the hot water pipe downspout assembly. 2 of the 3 screws are accessible as far as you went, but the third screw is under the front panel. How do you take that off?
I have two things: 1) I dont see a point in removing clips 06:13 before you loose those screw at the bottom 08:04 2) 06:13 - from my point of view applying a lot of pressure just leads to some damage. First, loosen those screws at the bottom (previous point) and then I slipped flat head screwdriver between those plastic covers and it popped out very easily
Great video on how to get apart. Mine steams fine so water is getting into the machine, however no water going to portafilter extraction whatsoever. Cannot see anything obvious. Any ideas?
Great video, I will open my machine to hopefully find out, what the problem is. It doesn't stop automatically anymore during the brewing process. I have cleaned it completely, that fixed the problem for a while but now it's again there. Any idea? Thanks a lot and greetings from Germany 😊
Thank you for showing this on the 1st generation of this espresso machine. I can’t get good extraction from it my Burr has no adjustment so I have adjusted my external dial but still having issues. Could it be because of the hard water I use for some years. Even tho I descale it every time was need it. Or can the the pump be the issue.
This video helped to find screw on the back under the plug. And 2 screws to remove top cover. P.S: there is black thing, you pointed as solenoid... I believe it is a high pressure Pump. Solenoids are higher above the pump on both sides.
@AjusCafe I can do that but right now my pressure gauge says normal when I brew the coffee I just don't get enough water pressure through the head unit if that makes any sense
Great video. I changed out the pump but must have missed something. Won’t work. But at least I know how to go at it and take it back apart. 👍🤦♂️ Thanks
Thank you so much. I finally was able to open my Breville thanks to your thorough demonstration. Still couldn't see what cause the leak from the reservoir small box inside :((
Great video, thank you! I’m attempting to replace a burned out thermostat on mine and got it open easily with the help of your video, now trying to figure out what the best way to replace the part. The positive and negative leads look like they were soldered and almost riveted or crimped together, not sure how to remove them and redo the connection… 🤔
Hey Aju, I'm aiming to do a replacement of the grind actuator switch today (the switch that's pressed/depressed when you push the portafilter into the machine to get it to dispense coffee grounds) and am curious as to whether you've done this. I figure the actuator switch assembly (actuator and cable) is behind that white face plate on the right side (if you're looking at it from the back) of the machine. Can you confirm?
Thanks a lot! I used this video to open my Breville and fixed my grinder start button. A clip got broken when opening the back panel but it’s totally fine.
Hi, I have a Breville Barista Max Espresso Machine VCF126 which was working. Now, when I switch it on, it beeps but there are no pumping noises. After a short time the steam lights flash but there are no noises. The machine stays like this, flashing lights and no noises. It therefore won't make coffee. The grinder works perfectly. Do you have any suggestions on what might have gone wrong and what I should look for when I open the machine. Many thanks
Hi, I have my barista leaking from the group head when I make an espresso. I have checked the ring and it seems fine. I have been told that it could be loosen screws from inside the machine. Do you have a video how to dismantle the machine to reach this part of the machine?
Thank you very much!! Now all apart and pressure guage is NOT registering. So another brave Ninja showed how the pressure attachment was so clogged with calcified and even runny white liquid... I am really going beyond my skill set by attempting this!!@ but hopefully u have posted the next step for me... 🙈
Thanks Aju! I believe you've filled a massive gap between what Barista Express owners need and what Breville provides. I have the same 1st Generation model that you've taken apart here. Do you have any idea where to find "the electric fuse"? My machine very suddenly stopped turning on (after about 2 years of use). My guess is that a fuse was blown. Thanks again and in advance for any info you think may help. Regards, Ed
Usually if there is any power related issue, its better to replace the power unit itself. But if you want to give a try (assuming you are capable and certified to do it). See this link howtofixit.net/why-breville-coffee-machine-not-turning-on-troubleshooting-guide/
Yes, most of the issue is related to stale beans. Esspresso needs freshly Roasted beans between 4 days and 3 weeks from Roasted Date. So to get Roasted date you need to buy from a local roaster. Make sure you buy in small quantity, just enough for 2-3 weeks supply. The first generation machines don't have top burr adjustment. But you can buy it from Breville. See breville generations ruclips.net/video/vlMhRVU0pJM/видео.html
My machine had some roaches that I found living in the drip tray at the bottom. I have taken all the pieces that I can off the bottom. Do you think I need to open up the actual machine part as well to see if they got in there somehow?
Very good video. Thank you. However i cNnot for the life of me figure out where my leak is coming from. It appears at the bottom undrr the area of the tray on the right side. Always a little puddle under the machine after brewing. I thought it was the drain hose but it looks fine.
See if your drip tray leaks and not overflowing. 2nd part is to open the machine just after brewing and trace where its wet. It could be a clogged tube that leaks. So check the joints
My barista grinder stops grinder after grinding small amount & needs to keep my hand on button to continue grinding , what would be the cause of this please
I have to subscribe to your channel thank you very much you offer a wealth of knowledge I have a problem with my Barista Express I have plenty of pressure I have adjusted the beans properly however I have very little water coming from the extraction the bottom of the basket is totally dry water is only on the top can you please give me an explanation or refer me to one of your videos that I can check... Thank you very much I hope you're still read these comments
@@AjusCafe I can do that but right now my pressure gauge says normal when I brew the coffee I just don't get enough water pressure through the head unit if that makes any sense
Try another plug point. If you can confirm power is going in, then the power supply unit may be faulty. Call Breville and they will guide you on replacement or parts
Bought a used machine with water leckage. Fixed it by changing the saftey valve. Also the pump didn't work at all. Changed the pump and all is tight and pump is working. Now I have this problem: as soon as I switch the machine on the pump starts to pump. All the time running. Steam, hot water and brewing all is working but the pump runs endlessly. Do I have to change the control unit? Or any better ideas?
I suspect it could be related to flow meter error. See my other video for a simple fix ruclips.net/video/jtczkX4DPS8/видео.html Let me know how it went
Good video. Most videos I see have the two screws on the top near the reservoir base. It was also good seeing that it takes a bit of force to get the back off. I always wonder if I'm fighting a clip or if there's some screw still holding everything together. I had a water line clog that was easy to clear once I got the back off.
Hi , can I ask you, maybe you can help. On my machine clean me not work, doesn’t start cleaning process and double espresso button not work only single. Please help , if you have any advice how to fix it. Thank you so much
@@vadikos777 from those symptoms, my guess is more towards circuit board issue. It seems major repair. That's why I said contact Breville even if you are out of warranty. They may charge you a flat rate of $ 250 something to repair or replace.
I was hoping you can help me or point me in the right direction. When I turn it on the water is running from the espresso extractor. No steam is coming from the steamer or hot water. After a few minutes the pressure pops the portafilter out.
I didn't understand the question. If water is not coming out of water dispenser or steam wand, it needs to be checked. It could be the gasket of steam wand. A video would be helpful.
My machine has started constantly dripping Water into the base and flooding the worktop Any ideas what would cause this and what new parts I would need ?
When you make espresso, some water flows through backflush outlet into the drip tray and that's normal. And you need to empty the tray as it gets full. You need to open the machine and find the leak source. If none and if it leaks excessive then the culprit is 3 way solenoid failing.
Thanks for the great video! Very helpful to see. Have you ever removed the front faceplate? I need to replace my pressure gauge and it requires removing the front faceplate which looks really thin and easy to bend and is not replaceable!!!

Hi Aju. Would you have any idea how to change the diffuser behind the flowmeter???
whats that spring inside the tube connected to the water tank supposed to do? I lost mine...
It secures the black silicon gasket to the water tank. Without spring it won't hold it tight and water can leak

@@vadikos777 from those symptoms, my guess is more towards circuit board issue. It seems major repair. That's why I said contact Breville even if you are out of warranty. They may charge you a flat rate of $ 250 something to repair or replace.
@@AjusCafe circuit board it’s same like I called main board or it’s absolutely different one?
@@vadikos777 its the same 🙂
Excellent video - thanks!
Welcome
I was hoping you can help me or point me in the right direction. When I turn it on the water is running from the espresso extractor. No steam is coming from the steamer or hot water. After a few minutes the pressure pops the portafilter out.
I didn't understand the question. If water is not coming out of water dispenser or steam wand, it needs to be checked. It could be the gasket of steam wand. A video would be helpful.
My machine has started constantly dripping
Water into the base and flooding the worktop Any ideas what would cause this and what new parts I would need ?
When you make espresso, some water flows through backflush outlet into the drip tray and that's normal. And you need to empty the tray as it gets full.
You need to open the machine and find the leak source.
If none and if it leaks excessive then the culprit is 3 way solenoid failing.
@@AjusCafe thanks for replying, yes mine just keeps filling the drip tray even when not in use so I’d assume the solenoid is at fault
@@AjusCafe can the solenoid valves be cleaned if they let by water ? Or is it replacement only ?
Also the pressure is low when making a drink I assume that’s because it’s letting by and filling the drip tray
Where to order replacement parts?Amazon or Breville?
Breville. If they don't have then u can try Amazon or any other

Broke a clip, but issue fixed. Thx
Thanks for the great video! Very helpful to see.
Have you ever removed the front faceplate?
I need to replace my pressure gauge and it requires removing the front faceplate which looks really thin and easy to bend and is not replaceable!!!
No i haven't removed the faceplate or pressure gauge yet. Hope you will find some guide on it soon.
