Breville Dual Boiler Steam handle removal for steam valve repair - BES920XL
Переглядів 18 тис.3 роки тому
Breville Dual Boiler BES920XL Revision 3 steam wand handle removal to gain access to the steam valve. In this video I show how to remove the handle of the steam wand in order to get to the steam valve. Not shown in the video is the bracket that holds the steam valve to the machine - it's two screws and should wiggle off. It is a tight fit to get the screws, and I used a flexible drill bit exten...
Leaking Steam wand valve - Breville Dual Boiler BES920XL
Переглядів 2,8 тис.3 роки тому
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.
Breville Dual Boiler BES920XL Steam wand leak
Переглядів 3,2 тис.3 роки тому
Now that I've tightened the other parts of the valve mechanism, it is leaking from the valve itself.
So useful
Great video! Were these screws all removed with the same Philips head? Even the center screw that connects to the internal valve?
Thanks so much Dave. The video is very helpful.
Just grip it and rip it is the answer. Forget spudgers and whatnot.
Love this video! I ordered the little sit pad. Perfect for my upcoming hiking trip.
The folded version has a smooth face and dirt brushes off easier.
Thanks, followed your guide and a couple other videos, and managed to replaces the seals, and now my steam wand stopped leaking as well!
Thank you for your review. What are the dimensions of the folded version once ‘folded’?
Consumer's clearly prefer 25" inflatable pads, one wonders why GG doesn't make a 25" Thinlight foam-pad?
generally doesnt need to cover the whole thing, its too short for some too but leaves a few inches all around no problem
@@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.
Mine is doing the same thing after replacing the gasket ring. Idk what to do
I’m having the same issue after changing it too
Me too. I changed twice. Same result
The machine may require disassembly, there are four/five screws that hold the group head in place that gradually come loose. There's a post on Reddit with links to the videos on how to fix it permanently. replacing the gasket does not fix this issue.
Such a big help. Thanks for the video. Finally knownhow to pull the nechanism out. Now to figure out how to fix the leak at the knob junction
Ooo Man ! You a rock with this advise same problem 2 month already
Removing the microswitch holder gives access to the rear of the lever cover and makes it easier to pry the cover off from the back. Thanks for the excellent video.
Popped right off by slightly prying outer cap both sides of the chrome handle, just where you suggested. Came off surprisingly easy.
Thank you for making this video! 😄
bonjour Thinlight Foam Pads 76 gr is it a good item ? is it solid ?
Replace your gasket
Thank you very much
Awesome Thanks for the post!
Squeeze in on outer cover, pull out .
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.!
I removed the micro switch and pushed the cap from the inside
Worked like a charm, thank you!
Mine is also doing exactly this, thanks for the post
Thanks a lot! This is what I want the way to remove the handle 。
Thanks for the video mate. Helps heaps! Would you know by any change why my steamer doesn’t steam! When I turn on it beeps 3 times and no steam come out! I already checked if leakings and nothin! The hot water works fine and the coffee pressure is fine too! Cheers
Amazing, thank you!
I just ordered the folded pad, I was bummed that the rolled was out of stock, but from this video it appears the folded will work better for me. Plus I could always just roll it up
What fixed this?
Yeah, I got a new seal and new screen inner shower. Parts from www.breville.com/us/en/products/espresso/parts-accessories.html/BES900
How to change new screen inner?
@@HikmetHadziabdicit is super easy. See that screw on the shower screen. You just unscrew it and it will drop down. It is common that the inner screen breaks down. Here you see a leaking seal which can be removed with pliers. I changed the plastic inner screen to IMS stainless one.
@@RobTaBiermy screw can’t come out. What do I do ?
@@anastasiamalta are you 100% sure you are unscrewing to the correct direction? The screw should not be super tight as there is a rubber inner shower screen under the actual shower screen. If you can't unscrew the screw for real, then I'd advice you to take the machine to any household appliance repair shop and ask them to remove the screw.
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 do think it is 010 in the steam valve, but I would have pulled that form the forums. If you haven't yet, check out home-barista dot com and specifically user pcrussell50 (Peter Russell who commented above) - there are a lot of details there!
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.
For times when it get unexpectedly cold, you can fold them in half and you get a 1/4 torso size pad with 1R- Value. I am 6ft and the Folded Pad works excellent in that way. 🤙🏻
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.
Thanks for showing where those clips were (on either side of the lever). I was able to remove the knob by squeezing the knob at the sides with thumb on one and index finger on the other, right over where the the clips are and it just popped off!
TY for this video Dave! I just ordered the rolled because the folded was sold out. Was wondering the difference and what I missed out on not getting the folded.
Easier way is through the back. You can stick a flat head in two of the clips. Pry and pull the dial with other hand. Came out easily with just those two. 2 minutes
2:49 Thanks! So it looks like there’re 4 snap-catches around the inside of steam lever cover.

superb, Dave! Great companion piece to my video on flipping the seals. How did I miss this?
You didn’t miss it! I posted a link on your video, and you replied there. I just replied to your comment so you should see it. Thanks again Peter!
nice video together with Peter's has saved me £00s, all seals replaced on water lines on both boilers and the white PTFE discs reversed and o ring replaced on the steam valve. My kitchen is now much quieter! Cheers
Hi! Where did you get the o-ring replacements from?
Dylan, what made you decide to replace this part? I’ve noticed that my boiler water isn’t making it through this part but is leaving the boiler. Pouring water through open hole shows water can move through the wand.. but not this? I cleaned the ball and also replaced the white plastic pieces inside of the valve. Would love some input as to why you went this route. Thanks!
Thanks for the video! Question.. Would you know how to remove the front face plate of the machine where the buttons are located? I would like to wrap it with vinyl. Thank you
Sorry, but I don’t know.
@@darkhog1I was able to figure it out without breaking anything. Your video helped me with the handles. Much appreciated! Cheers!
never, flip your seals, never, you go to the trouble of taking the machine apart and for $2 its a waste of time flipping seals
You are a legend, thank you.
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.
Worked like a charm. Thank you for this tip.
Thanks, this worked well for me!
I used two floss picks, worked well
You are the man! Saved me a lot of time.
This approach worked great after a few attempts. Needed an extra pair of hands. Suddenly the cap "just came off". I have replaced my steam valve completely and about 8 o rings whilst in there. Machine is 10years old. I'll replace the cap after a week of use rather than having to try and do it again and breaking something 😭
This is an amazing tutorial. The most annoying experience for me was when I got a hold of the steam valve only to realise I don't have the proper tools to loosen and access the seal. But atleast I know what to do next time I remove the valve =)
How were you able to loosen and access the seals? The too and bottom and screwed on so incredibly tight.
What worked for me was seeing someone mention using a fingernail on the U portion. I did it on the top part of the U while pulling and it came off easily. Other methods only results in scratches.
Please explain further
@@pauldubar6014 You pull on the cover as shown in the video. While pulling insert a fingernail on the top part of the U (the curved opening in the cover that goes over the handle) to prove some leverage.
@@topcat2001 thanks for replying
thank you so much for this! working on getting this part off right now, this is a huge time saver. very much appreciated
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.
this was an essential video for me I was totally stuck. Thanks!
