Leaking Steam wand valve - Breville Dual Boiler BES920XL

After flipping the seals in my valve, it leaks more than before. Attempting to assess if I need to tighten more or apply something like silicone grease. The top one likely needs a new o-ring, which I will replace when the machine cools down.

Now that I've tightened the other parts of the valve mechanism, it is leaking from the valve itself.

      @@jzubs - Comfortable air-pads have side-rails, where the sides are slightly thicker than the middle. If one lifts only the middle of the air-pad with the foam-pad, it negates the purpose of the side-rail. That, and it leaves air-pad sides susceptible to thorns and stickers. This author uses MLD's 80"-wide 1/8" foam-pad cut-down to 27" width. However MLD's pad is stickier than GG's and not as resilient as GG's. GG uses better modulus foam and why this author'd rather see GG widen their excellent 1/8" foam pad.

    OOOh, OOh, ! (I'm pretending to be an eager school kid with his hand up in class!) Yes I know how to take off the cap that fits over the steam lever! (Seriously ...It works) I just don't know how to describe it... (As I appear not to be able to add pictures to comments.) TO Remove the Steam Lever Cap: Grip the cap by ENCIRCLING it with your right thumb & forefinger. Grip it like a really short bicycle grip. Hold it tight. Extend your right arm out a little so it is clear of coffee machine front. With your left hand slap your right forearm a little below your wrist with a hard sharp slap/push. Cap should just pop off. (I will try to put a link to some sort of visual aid for this.) Seriously when it comes off, you will just slap your forehead in disbelief! (I knew how to take the cap off, just needed to see how the rest of it goes!) Thanks for the excellent video, really carefully done and informative, good work.!

    You mention an 010 o-ring in passing. All of the o-rings I've ever changed in my 900s and 920s have been 007. Did you misspeak or is there an 010 on the steam valve?

      I can't remember where the 010 and 007s are, but those are the two sizes I have in my notes, and which I purchased.

    I suggest putting a brand new valve in. The ball gets a hammering from the heat and in my case was uneven and unserviceable. My machine is around 8000 cups and all I have done are two O rings on the main boiler and this valve. Always keep a check on leaks as one leak I had was on the side of the boiler and dripped onto the side temp overtemp switch bolted onto the boiler. It rusted the wire off which is factory spot welded onto the spade. A harder fix as got to pull the head out to get access to fix. I still have no clue how to get the boilers out, not easy.

    I hope your video moves to the top of youtube's pick list, because this is the most painful and worrying part of the whole procedure, and is well hidden below other less relevant videos. That plastic cover over the handle is very very tight and I think a stupid design, because eventually plastic fatigue will set in, or the plastic will become brittle. So, eventually, those clips will break off.

    To remove plastic cover, cut a couple of 5mm strips out of a credit card. Use a sharp blade or pry tool to insert the credit card in the gap between the handle and cover on both sides of the handle. This spreading apart of the cover by just over 1mm is enough to pull the cover off easily by hand.

    I flipped the ball valve seals today and found this video very useful, thanks for uploading. Removing the dull silver cap is indeed a pain. I think the best way is to use a plastic pry tool like you had and go to work in the horizontal gap above where the shiny steam handle starts protruding. One of those tabs is just to the left of there and if you can lever under the dull cap at this point it should pop out if you pull it away from the machine with your other hand. I did use a bigger pry tool than you show in the video.
