    Thank you for your detailed video! My Grohe faucet is 19 years old and around the 10 year mark, the spray head had the same problem. Back then, I ended up buying a new spray head. This time around, i decided to search for a solution on YT University. Your video explains the "reason" for the fault and your fix is brilliant. I thought I would add some insight that might help others, as I have the soft black model and I could not remove the switch. It seems the cover to the switch is a "one-piece" unit. Thus, I could not punch out the internals. However, I was able to use a small dull edged flat head screwdriver to remove the white o-ring and replace it with a new o-ring, without having to remove the internal parts. Super easy fix!! Another commenter mentioned lifetime warranty. Yes, there is that option as well...... to the original owner with a copy of the receipt. I believe I might have the receipt and will try to get a warranty replacement as well. :-)

    How to fix leak from bottom The machine is prone to leaking from the bottom due to it's design. If that happens, you need to change the seal under the boiler chamber and you need to deassemble the whole machine to get access. It's a tedious job for the DIY repair person, but feasible. You need to get Krups MS5015004 Esprosso Machine Boiler Gasket Seal by KRUPS available on Amazon for about $25. I repaired mine and works like new.

    Thanks for the video. It really helped me get it all apart. You made snapping in that white lever look way easier than it actually was to get out and put back. I could not find an O-ring the exact size you mentioned so mine were a little smaller. Problem was, it would run a good stream until I pushed the spray lever then it would never go back. This is because the O-ring kept sliding back off from too much tension. So I found much easier solution. I found the faucet head on the Grohe web site, told them my issue and they are sending me a FREE replacement head. 😋😋 Another option, I saw several sites selling the bronze and some other colored versions cheap for $5. So all you would have to do is pop your insides out of the shell and replace w the new ones from the ugly colored $35 shell.

    Yeah so I have two homes completely outfitted with Grohe ythroughout and they consider a "Lifetime Warranty" to be ten years. She was quick to pooint out that it is not the "lifetime" of the home owner? WTH I guess I have outlived the Grohe statute of limitations. I even polietely argued with them on the phone and they pushed back, outside the ten year period a "manager" has to approve it. So now I am on the fence with recommending their products to anyone, especially my friends in the building trades. And I have a new home with three bathrooms that need remodeling. Oh well.. as with all good companies they are not seeing the big picture of brand awareness.

I did change the O-Rings on the piston and the Gasket/Seal at the bottom of the piston assembly but it still leaks. I also purchased a entire new Piston with O-Rings but I have not changed them yet I greatly appreciate any insight or suggestions you can provide Thanks Jim

They have sent me 4 replacement sprayer heads that have the longer toggle switch that you don't have to hold down to have the sprayer setting. Originally, I didn't find my receipt but they sent me the part anyway since they are the only Grohe manufacturer. I eventually found the receipt and I sent them a copy for future replacements. Thanks again for the video. It's very helpful. It's puzzling why Grohe doesn't provide a video like. yours.
