This has got to be one of the best tutorial videos I've ever seen on youtube. Just showing every step, no cuts, being 100% clear on what to do - amazing! Thank you a ton :)
Thank you saecoffeetime. My Syntia has been in storage for 4 years and before then it wasn’t actually working that well. Today I followed your video all the way through at 25% playback. It was brilliant and now my machine is working as good as new. Thank you so much and I wish you well.
Thank you for your video! My coffee maker wasn't working, no coffee was coming out, but with your video, I dared to try, and everything went great. It works like new, thank you!
Thank you, I’ve just unpacked my Saeco after storage of 5 years, the unit seems to be sealed through lack of use. After watching this video I’m really looking forward to trying to fix it. Thank you again.
Thank you very much. One spring fall down during the time and by this video, i was able to put it back. (it was working without it, as well). But I just feel better, that I was able to "repair" it
Many thanks for sharing :) I wouldn't have tried without it! I disassembled both half-frames at the end to get good access to the yellow carriage sliders. Found out it may be easier to remove the fork at that stage than when it's inside as shown in the video.
Hello again, first of all, thank you very much for taking your time and answering. After disassembling the product, what should we use to clean the oils on it? Do you use chemicals? I would appreciate it if you could make a suggestion for cleaning it.
Great video, thanks! I took apart the brew group to my 13 year old Gaggia Platinum Swing Up, but.... there was NO little spring and glass ball (shown at 0:20). Did the older brew groups not have one? No one has taken this apart before me. I've put it back together, and it's working as it did before. Should I get one, and put it in??
Hello! A glass ball with a spring creates water backwater. The pressure in the coffee pomace increases and the coffee oils are pulled out of the coffee. You can buy a ball and spring and try to install. Perhaps you will see a difference in coffee if, of course, the pump pushes through such pressure. I don't know, maybe you have an SBS valve installed and then a spring with a ball is not needed. If possible, send me a photo of your teapot to me in the Viber application and I can tell you more accurately. Thank you for using my videos!
@@saecoffeetime1148 I DO have an SBS valve on my brew unit (the exact brew unit is a "11005921 SBS"). I didn't realize that the SBS valve negates the need for the spring and ball. Thank you!!
nice video, but that long spring is located in one more plastic part (plastic tube) - that can be pulled out and there is one more slim O-ring ;) sorry for my bad english
I have been having so many problems with my machine and I don't think the brew group was tamping properly. Lubricating it may just have done the trick. Thank you
Hello, thank you for the video. From my 6 months' old series 800 machine doesn’t flow out anything at all since yesterday. Another video showed, that if I clean the silver disk (seen here at 0:40), then everything will be okay. I cleaned it and still nothing comes out of the machine. What can be the problem?
I have a Philips cappuccino coffee machine (Saeco Lirika) that, when I ask it to make coffee, the coffee comes out very slowly. It was recently cleaned, the seals were replaced, the coffee flow nozzle was cleaned, and the pump is working (I haven't tampered with the water heater or other components).
Perfect video! Can You please provide the o-rings measurements that are used in the brewing unit. Also shoult they be changed at regular basis or after inspection?
Wow. Great video. Mine works still ok, but I assume one of the o-rings are wrong, because at start I can hear and see some steam on the side. Any idea which o-ring to replace?
Hi, great video, very informative 👍 My coffee machine stopped working (coffee doesn't flow anymore). If I remove the glass ball and spring, it flows again, but that's obviously not the proper solution. Do you have any idea?
Hello! First, you need to clean it from coffee oils and perform a full maintenance with replacement of all sealing rings. Also clean it from calcium. And if after all these procedures it does not push water, then you need to pay attention to the pump. I have a video on my channel about repairing the pump.
Thank you I'll try to find an o'ring kit and replace them. I already cleaned the coffee oil and have no calcium as I have a water softener. I still run the descaling cycle every other month anyway. I don't understand how the ball and spring are supposed to let the water through? Is it supposed to hold it until it reaches a high enough pressure?
@ced2k Absolutely right! When the required pressure of 15 bar is pumped, the ball begins to rise, thereby freeing the passage for water. Perhaps your pump is already tired! Watch my video of how I revive the pump.
@@saecoffeetime1148I followed your video of pump reparation. Replaced the oring and extended the spring. My machine is now working again! Thank you very much 👍👍👍
Hello! I did not measure this seal and now there is no way to measure it. This seal has no wear life. The reason is that it is not mobile and has no mechanical load. The manufacturer does not sell this seal as a separate item. I recommend that you measure the stem and hole yourself, pick up something similar from silicone seals.
@@saecoffeetime1148 Thanks fo soon answer, I dont know how to do that because when i see your gasket in the video mine is too thick (half from yours) and dont hold tight in my plastic tube
@@filipkudela8928 Even if you remove the gasket from this tube, this will not particularly affect the operation of the coffee machine. The gasket simply seals the tube seat. You can apply polyurethane glue instead of a gasket along the entire length of the tube from the outside and install the tube in place. The glue will replace the gasket and do the job.
Amazing work thank you from Canada! My brew unit valve is not engaging under full pressure so it won't pass coffee, the system just blows water past all seals wherever it can. With the spring and ball removed from the brew unit, coffee will flow, but of course not very tasty. Have you had this problem with the brew unit valve before and what would you recommend?
Hello & thankyou for your tutorial, I have a Saeco Intelia HD8752 about 11 years old with the following issue: If the unit hasn’t been used for a few hours or the power plug is unplugged and plugged back in again, upon power-up, the automatic rinse cycle starts as it should: You can hear the pump groaning, sounds like it is blocked. This automatic start up rinse is either very slow with little intermittent hot drips taking many minutes for the cycle to complete - which then leads to normal use. OR No automatic start up rinse drips and therefore the process fails entering into ‘prime mode’ which also fails & leads to an unusable ‘maintenance spanner symbol’ code 5. The only way to bypass this is to unplug and re-plug in the power plug, power-up the unit, then as it tries to perform the automatic rinse cycle, manually press the STOP option to bypass the automatic rinse and then the machine can be used as normal & makes great coffee. Note: The above symptom’s got worse after I performed a de-scale cycle, which failed at the end with of the final rinse / prime - but fully worked up until that final point. Maybe there is lime scale lodged in one of the following places: 1. Boiler 2. Solenoid valve 3. Steam & water regulator Note: This is strange because it is 100% possible to run the manual rinse cycle as per the instructions: Press the ‘pre-ground’ coffee button (with no coffee in it), then press the coffee / memo button and it does a big hot rinse no problems at all. Also, after use, when the unit is powered off, it performs a small rinse cycle with continuous hot running water coming out the dispenser, but only for a very short time. I have totally re-built the brewing unit per various RUclips demonstrations with new stainless steel plunger screen + plunger o-ring, disassembled & blasted out all the tiny holes in the plastic plunger, made sure all the elbows and holes are clear and clean, installed the valve spring and glass ball correctly, greased all the o-rings, sliders and pivots. I have also fully taken apart the dispenser locater under the LCD display, disconnected the tube that connects to the brew unit, blasted water + compressed air through it so that it is 100% clear. Fully internally cleaned out the dispenser unit. I have calibrated the coffee grinding unit. The other issue I have is that that GREEN does not work on the LCD display - however I can still faintly see the LCD instructions - enough to get by. I haven’t run the LCD display diagnostics because that is too difficult to see / follow. But it seem like the pump + grinder & heater all work. I have disconnected & reconnected the LCD & checked the other wires, but can’t see any damage. Years ago the green would flicker on every now and then, but dead these days..
Hey! Thank you 🎉. My saeco lirika plus is not making the self cleaning when I power on. Apart of that, everything is working. What do you think is the problem?
Great job on the video! I cleaned my brew group, but my machine still doesn’t dispense. After taking it apart and trying to get it to run, I found if I remove the glass bead and spring it works, but makes awful coffee. The o rings on the nozzle from the machine to the brew group look to be in good shape. I have very hard water. I clean it with vinegar every time the light comes on to descale. Is my pump shot? What do you think? I’d be grateful for your input! Thank you.
Did you figure it out? I have almost the same problem. I get a red screen with error, and something KICKS the door out. If I remove the brew unit, there's a rotor noise, and then if I put it back, it makes coffee.
@@ndavid7307 After speaking with a few people, the best guess was a weak pump, so I ordered a new one. In order to get the old one out, I had to take the unit so far apart that I think it will be a miracle if I'm able to get it back together.
@@joesbarbecue1 I took it to warranty (but they denied to service it for free, saying it was my fault). They said it's the 'infuser', I don't know what the hell it's that.
Here's a happyassed update. I got the pump installed, and sure enough it brews again. I tested it brewing 5 or 6 cups, then finished reassembling the thing about 4 this morning. Somehow, I ended up one screw short. I looked everywhere for it, and it couldn't be found. So I skipped one screw in the door hinge, then set the unit back up in the kitchen so the wife could have an easy coffee before starting her early day. The good news: We found the screw! The bad news: It fell into the grinder. The machine is back on the bench awaiting a new grinder gear, and new grinding plates. I'm thinking about giving up coffee.
After removing the crema valve from the piston/tamping assembly from the brew unit of an older (5 + yrs) Saeco Exprelio Evo for the very first time, I noticed that there was no tapered spring and glass ball valve. We're these specific parts not required at the time of manufacture of my unit or could they have forgotten to install them at the factory? I took time to clean the screen and it appeared to be in good shape. I recently noticed a lot of coffee grounds scattered inside the housing. I plan on replacing the large piston O ring and hope that helps. Any other advice?
Hello! In Belarus, grease is sold in cans of 1 kilogram, in a tube of 300 grams and a tube of 100 grams. In your area, I recommend looking for yourself. If this lubricant is not available, then you can use any food-grade silicone. Good and delicious coffee!
hello! my brew group makes a really loud "CROP" noise when i try to power down my coffee machine after making coffee. I am guessing the brew group is going back to home position. Is this a sign that i need to overhaul my brew group already. i have had the coffee machine for only half year so far and made maybe less than 500 cups thus far? Kinda way too early for me to overhaul the BG for me but i thought i should ask first!
Hi! Any suggestions, please, why after servicing my brew group and changing all O rings - the fresh grounded coffee dropping over the back side of the brew group? Any idea, what I made wrong?
bonjour, j'ai fais le changement des joints et votre vidéo est d'une grande aide. seulement quand j'ai voulu tester un café sur ma philips ep 2220, les 2 buses coulent l'eau chaude et le café, moins d'eau. me suis-je trompé dans le process? merci pour votre aide
Hello! Most likely, you have not assembled the top valve correctly. There is a spring and a ball in the upper part. When assembling, you must first insert the ball, then the spring. The narrow part of the spring should be adjacent to the ball and the wide part to the top. Review my video with slow settings. Also, do not forget that there is a sleeve with a rubber band, then throw the ball into the sleeve, then the spring.
Bonjour! Il est fort probable que vous n'ayez pas assemblé correctement la valve supérieure. Il y a un ressort et une boule au sommet. Lors du montage, vous devez d'abord installer la boule, puis le ressort. Le ressort doit toucher la boule avec sa partie étroite et sa partie large vers le haut. Regardez ma vidéo au ralenti. N’oubliez pas non plus qu’il y a une douille avec un élastique, puis lancez une balle dans la douille, puis un ressort.
The problem is probably not in brew unit but in the two gaskets on water valve. Take out brew unit and look inside an espresso machine, there is a "stick" with two gaskets, one bigger than other (both are very small). Change those, also change the main gasket on the piston of the brew unit (orange one).

Hello! Unfortunately, I can’t tell you where you can buy it in your country. I buy on AliExpress. The seal is large in size OD 40mm-4mm. The spout has two seals, dimensions OD 9mm-2mm and OD13mm-2mm. I select the size myself and buy 100 pieces.
Hello and thank you for this very clear video. I have a problem with my Philips Lattego 5400: I clean it roughly every 2 weeks and I find a lot of coffee grounds everywhere in the body of the machine itself. Every time the machine asks me to empty the water and coffee grounds, I find lots of coffee grounds in the dirty water container and there are coffee grounds accumulated everywhere when I remove the unit 154206 :( However, the machine makes coffee normally, that's what I don't understand... Could you tell me what is not working correctly?
that's not right, something goes wrong with the grinder, open it up, top cover is just 3 screws + 1 screw in the grinder, a lot of tutorials for it is available. Common issue for this machine is broken plactic around grinder, maybe that's your case
@@hungryseeker Hello ;) Thank you for your feedback. In fact I haven't updated my comment, but everything is back to normal after following this tutorial from A to Z. The coffee machine is working perfectly again. The major problem was the severe lack of lubrication of the moving parts. So I strongly recommend that all users of this machine follow this tutorial and do it roughly twice a year at least.

can you please help me ? after cleaning the brew unit, my coffee machine just gives a very light coffee even with maximum setting . do you maybe know what the issue is ? with kind regards Danny
Hello! There can be a lot of problems. I can’t guess your problem, but all the signs indicate that the board’s firmware is not working correctly. Try going into the coffee machine menu and resetting the settings to factory settings. Subsequently, the coffee machine should automatically adjust the dose of coffee within 10-15 servings.
Hey, wonder if anyone can help me. A part of my original brew unit for my Saeco Magic de luxe coffee machine broke off, so I ordered a new one with a new spring and ball valve thing. Before everything worked ok, but now when I try to make a coffee it doesn't come through. I've observed the process with the door open and see that from somewhere near the top of the brew unit the coffee spurts out, with it all ending up in the brew unit and the bit where the old grains go. When I remove the ball from the brew unit, the coffee comes through fine but obviously really weak and not nice tasting. Could anyone advise me what exactly the problem could be here? I've cleaned the brewunit and regreased everything, ive ran the decalcifying cycle with the phillips descaling solution thing, ive tried the old ball and spring. This has all been over a long time period though (since September non-functional). Gratefuly for any help - its so heavy i dont really want to have to take it to a repair shop - ive no car! I've taken a video so can provide if would be helpful. thanks.
Hey! I have very similar system in my bosch ct636les1/01 but after when i take out it my coffee machine show E3546 😢 Someone know what its mind and where can be the problem? 🤔 I clean it like every time and now after cleaning something like this and info turn off on 30 sec and turn on but its not help 😢
Hello sir. I need some help. How do we repair the SWITCH to pull this one out? It was forced so it lost its original position. I was trying to pull that part out while the machine was ON because I was going to put back the recently cleaned tray, and while pulling this one and pressing the switch (which is so hard while the coffee machine is on) I accidentally snapped it and never went back to its original position. Any tips please? 😢 Would highly appreciate your help.

Note: This is strange because it is 100% possible to run the manual rinse cycle as per the instructions: Press the ‘pre-ground’ coffee button (with no coffee in it), then press the coffee / memo button and it does a big hot rinse no problems at all.
Also, after use, when the unit is powered off, it performs a small rinse cycle with continuous hot running water coming out the dispenser, but only for a very short time.
I have totally re-built the brewing unit per various RUclips demonstrations with new stainless steel plunger screen + plunger o-ring, disassembled & blasted out all the tiny holes in the plastic plunger, made sure all the elbows and holes are clear and clean, installed the valve spring and glass ball correctly, greased all the o-rings, sliders and pivots.
I have also fully taken apart the dispenser locater under the LCD display, disconnected the tube that connects to the brew unit, blasted water + compressed air through it so that it is 100% clear. Fully internally cleaned out the dispenser unit.
I have calibrated the coffee grinding unit.
The other issue I have is that that GREEN does not work on the LCD display - however I can still faintly see the LCD instructions - enough to get by.
I haven’t run the LCD display diagnostics because that is too difficult to see / follow. But it seem like the pump + grinder & heater all work.
I have disconnected & reconnected the LCD & checked the other wires, but can’t see any damage.
Years ago the green would flicker on every now and then, but dead these days..
Merci 🙏🏽 😁
Hey! Thank you 🎉. My saeco lirika plus is not making the self cleaning when I power on. Apart of that, everything is working. What do you think is the problem?
Great job on the video! I cleaned my brew group, but my machine still doesn’t dispense.
After taking it apart and trying to get it to run, I found if I remove the glass bead and spring it works, but makes awful coffee.
The o rings on the nozzle from the machine to the brew group look to be in good shape.
I have very hard water. I clean it with vinegar every time the light comes on to descale.
Is my pump shot?
What do you think?
I’d be grateful for your input!
Thank you.
Did you figure it out? I have almost the same problem. I get a red screen with error, and something KICKS the door out. If I remove the brew unit, there's a rotor noise, and then if I put it back, it makes coffee.
@@ndavid7307 After speaking with a few people, the best guess was a weak pump, so I ordered a new one.
In order to get the old one out, I had to take the unit so far apart that I think it will be a miracle if I'm able to get it back together.
@@joesbarbecue1 I took it to warranty (but they denied to service it for free, saying it was my fault). They said it's the 'infuser', I don't know what the hell it's that.
@@ndavid7307 I just found and printed the schematic and parts list. There is nothing called an infuser. They must be referring to the brew group.
Here's a happyassed update. I got the pump installed, and sure enough it brews again. I tested it brewing 5 or 6 cups, then finished reassembling the thing about 4 this morning.
Somehow, I ended up one screw short. I looked everywhere for it, and it couldn't be found. So I skipped one screw in the door hinge, then set the unit back up in the kitchen so the wife could have an easy coffee before starting her early day.
The good news: We found the screw!
The bad news: It fell into the grinder.
The machine is back on the bench awaiting a new grinder gear, and new grinding plates.
I'm thinking about giving up coffee.
Great Video ... THUMBS UP! Should something like this be done every 1 to 2 yrs to maintain your brew unit? or was this just for a specific fix?
Hello! This procedure is desirable to do 1 time per year!
Thank You !! 👍👌✌️
After removing the crema valve from the piston/tamping assembly from the brew unit of an older (5 + yrs) Saeco Exprelio Evo for the very first time, I noticed that there was no tapered spring and glass ball valve. We're these specific parts not required at the time of manufacture of my unit or could they have forgotten to install them at the factory? I took time to clean the screen and it appeared to be in good shape. I recently noticed a lot of coffee grounds scattered inside the housing. I plan on replacing the large piston O ring and hope that helps. Any other advice?
Great! can you pls share a link for grease type to use ? generally i can find only 5gr tubes (very expensive)
Hello! In Belarus, grease is sold in cans of 1 kilogram, in a tube of 300 grams and a tube of 100 grams. In your area, I recommend looking for yourself. If this lubricant is not available, then you can use any food-grade silicone. Good and delicious coffee!
hello! my brew group makes a really loud "CROP" noise when i try to power down my coffee machine after making coffee. I am guessing the brew group is going back to home position. Is this a sign that i need to overhaul my brew group already. i have had the coffee machine for only half year so far and made maybe less than 500 cups thus far? Kinda way too early for me to overhaul the BG for me but i thought i should ask first!
I would claim under warranty. I have my machine for a month and already brewed about 150+ cups and it is working fine.
Hi! Any suggestions, please, why after servicing my brew group and changing all O rings - the fresh grounded coffee dropping over the back side of the brew group? Any idea, what I made wrong?
The machine is a Giro Black Plus
Is the screwdriver you used to disassemble the brewing unit a Torx? Also, what is the number of the screwdriver? It is called "T" thank you soo mach
T10
Should you be able to blow air through the part you remove 00:17 ?
bonjour, j'ai fais le changement des joints et votre vidéo est d'une grande aide. seulement quand j'ai voulu tester un café sur ma philips ep 2220, les 2 buses coulent l'eau chaude et le café, moins d'eau. me suis-je trompé dans le process? merci pour votre aide
Hello! Most likely, you have not assembled the top valve correctly. There is a spring and a ball in the upper part. When assembling, you must first insert the ball, then the spring. The narrow part of the spring should be adjacent to the ball and the wide part to the top. Review my video with slow settings. Also, do not forget that there is a sleeve with a rubber band, then throw the ball into the sleeve, then the spring.
Bonjour! Il est fort probable que vous n'ayez pas assemblé correctement la valve supérieure. Il y a un ressort et une boule au sommet. Lors du montage, vous devez d'abord installer la boule, puis le ressort. Le ressort doit toucher la boule avec sa partie étroite et sa partie large vers le haut. Regardez ma vidéo au ralenti. N’oubliez pas non plus qu’il y a une douille avec un élastique, puis lancez une balle dans la douille, puis un ressort.
My gaggia leaks coffee into the grounds drawer, half goes into the cup half into the drawer could u please tell we which o-ring to replace
The problem is probably not in brew unit but in the two gaskets on water valve. Take out brew unit and look inside an espresso machine, there is a "stick" with two gaskets, one bigger than other (both are very small). Change those, also change the main gasket on the piston of the brew unit (orange one).
what do you call the spring in 4:49? and the little ball he dropped into the hole there? i didn't have one in my coffee machine
Creamer spring / counterpiston spring / conical spring. This makes the coffe creamier.
Где можно купить вилку варочного блока на Саеко Филлипс?
Здравствуйте! Предположу что можно купить в сервисном центре по ремонту кофемашин вашего города. Если в вашем городе нету то всегда можно приобрести онлайн с доставкой по почте.
Yo he comprado las toricas en amazon para mi saeco HD8911/01 y son peores q las originales. Las mido con el calibre y las nuevas son menos gruesas. Puede recomendarme un sitio para comprarlas?
Gracias de antemano
Hello! Unfortunately, I can’t tell you where you can buy it in your country. I buy on AliExpress. The seal is large in size OD 40mm-4mm. The spout has two seals, dimensions OD 9mm-2mm and OD13mm-2mm. I select the size myself and buy 100 pieces.

Hi. What kind grease do you use? Thanks a lot
Amazing...thank you! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Welcome!
What do you use as a cleaning liquid?
I use lye. I recommend that you use a grease remover, a cookstove cleaner.
Super thuis up
Thanks for the comment!
Как часто, промывать и смазывать блок, без разборки?
Промывать раз в неделю чтобы не образовывалась плесень. Смазывать 1 раз в месяц.
THE BEST!!!
Hello and thank you for this very clear video.
I have a problem with my Philips Lattego 5400: I clean it roughly every 2 weeks and I find a lot of coffee grounds everywhere in the body of the machine itself. Every time the machine asks me to empty the water and coffee grounds, I find lots of coffee grounds in the dirty water container and there are coffee grounds accumulated everywhere when I remove the unit 154206 :(
However, the machine makes coffee normally, that's what I don't understand...
Could you tell me what is not working correctly?
that's not right, something goes wrong with the grinder, open it up, top cover is just 3 screws + 1 screw in the grinder, a lot of tutorials for it is available. Common issue for this machine is broken plactic around grinder, maybe that's your case
@@hungryseeker Hello ;)
Thank you for your feedback. In fact I haven't updated my comment, but everything is back to normal after following this tutorial from A to Z.
The coffee machine is working perfectly again.
The major problem was the severe lack of lubrication of the moving parts. So I strongly recommend that all users of this machine follow this tutorial and do it roughly twice a year at least.
I fear that I will never get it back together again the right way...😢
Hello, i have one question. I have EP4346 coffee machine. Yesterday i was cleaning brew unit, i removed and washed it. When i was cleaning brew unit slot area, i saw a very small washer which is dark brown color . I could not find where this washer dropped from. Do you have any idea?
Hello! Unfortunately I can't imagine where it comes from.
You can also apply on the O-ring

My question is what's going to happen if im not lubricated it ?
Graisse silicone de qualité alimentaire ! Si vous ne lubrifiez pas l'appareil, l'opération ne fonctionnera pas correctement !
can you please help me ? after cleaning the brew unit, my coffee machine just gives a very light coffee even with maximum setting . do you maybe know what the issue is ? with kind regards Danny
Hello! There can be a lot of problems. I can’t guess your problem, but all the signs indicate that the board’s firmware is not working correctly. Try going into the coffee machine menu and resetting the settings to factory settings. Subsequently, the coffee machine should automatically adjust the dose of coffee within 10-15 servings.

My beers still going strong after 10.000 shots
Hey, wonder if anyone can help me. A part of my original brew unit for my Saeco Magic de luxe coffee machine broke off, so I ordered a new one with a new spring and ball valve thing. Before everything worked ok, but now when I try to make a coffee it doesn't come through. I've observed the process with the door open and see that from somewhere near the top of the brew unit the coffee spurts out, with it all ending up in the brew unit and the bit where the old grains go. When I remove the ball from the brew unit, the coffee comes through fine but obviously really weak and not nice tasting. Could anyone advise me what exactly the problem could be here? I've cleaned the brewunit and regreased everything, ive ran the decalcifying cycle with the phillips descaling solution thing, ive tried the old ball and spring. This has all been over a long time period though (since September non-functional). Gratefuly for any help - its so heavy i dont really want to have to take it to a repair shop - ive no car! I've taken a video so can provide if would be helpful. thanks.
Hey! I have very similar system in my bosch ct636les1/01 but after when i take out it my coffee machine show E3546 😢

Anyone knows where can I find all replacement parts for Saeco Gran Crema in Germany?
Hello sir. I need some help. How do we repair the SWITCH to pull this one out? It was forced so it lost its original position. I was trying to pull that part out while the machine was ON because I was going to put back the recently cleaned tray, and while pulling this one and pressing the switch (which is so hard while the coffee machine is on) I accidentally snapped it and never went back to its original position. Any tips please? 😢 Would highly appreciate your help.
See if there are other videos that have information!

Hello! Maybe your coffee grinder has stopped working. A foreign object could get into the grinder, thereby blocking it. I recommend that you contact the nearest service center for the repair of coffee machines. We are happy to help you, but we may be too far away from you!
We can offer you to watch our coffee grinder repair video.
