Thanks for linking me here man I appreciate it. This unit is a second hand purchase. I was able to get the rivet out of the old Tef tube and the gold piece out too. So I may do that with the new one, drill bit or sand the gold part of of the old hole and feed the new tef tube in then re attach the gold piece and rivet. We'll see what happens lol
Hi there from Holland. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I think many of us appreciate it a lot. Question, i've got a breville if i turn it on it gets immediately hot. When i push the coffee button it's almost that i'm sitting in a sauna 😁. I've changed almost everything already instead the motherboard. Any idea?
Might be something like this: siber-sonic.com/appliance/800Electrical.html#relayshort Or it may be the temperature sensor on the thermo-coil not reporting the right reading to the controller. That's how the temperature is controlled.
I have a leak from the hoses where the water is dispensed. I got new zip ties on the hoses because those zip ties were old and almost braking but it didn't help to much. I think I need new hoses? What is the size of the hose ¼inch?
Hello teacher, I have a problem with the espresso machine (capsule). The steam comes out densely before the water, and then the water comes out. What is the problem?
I have not seen that issue before. Is that out of the hot water / steam valve? If so, the only thing I can think of is that the connections on the 2 micro switches on the valve have been swapped. One signals hot water position and the other signals steam position of the valve to tell the machine which way you have turned the valve.
New selector assembly $30...where does that 2nd small teflon tube on the right go too? I have the BES860 model which only has one steam teflon tube going to the selector assembly. I can still get this assembly but will need to plug off that hose maybe.
During my last 870XL repair, I accidentally cut into the silicone tubing when cutting the zip-tie that held the adapter for the water tank. Can you tell me the dimensions of this clear, high-temp silicone tubing used through this machine? I have to replace my solenoid valve assembly, so I thought I'd replace this tubing when I open the machine up for this repair. And, thank you for all of your repair videos on this machine. You've been a great resource!
If you're talking about the hose to the hot water port, I haven't been able to remove mine either. Likely the end of the hose is stuck inside due to the same corrosion that I saw inside the hose barb I repaired. Maybe try injecting some descaling solution with a syringe and see if that helps to free it up.
The water line I can’t get out is the little one that connects to the group head. I got the side out that connects to the solenoid (replaced that) and still no water from group head. I did inject some vinegar and used a paper clip to pick at some blockage that was in there! But still no luck after i tried the single cup again :/
@@AnnaLien-i3j That's another line I've not had a reason to remove on my machine. There might be some tips on this web page: - siber-sonic.com/appliance/800Mech.html
Hi, I am from Colombia, y have a problem whit my machine Breville 870, I have vapor, but I can't to get an Expresso, I don't have pressure, do you know what is the problem, thanks 😢
Follow the water: ua-cam.com/video/9lMw6ooiqPI/v-deo.html Likely the 3-port solenoid valve (on the right side) is either sticking, or not getting power. That lets water flow out the top to the hot water/steam valve all the time. See the other videos in the this playlist for replacing, testing and cleaning that valve.
I think you linked to the square brass tube instead of the round one. Also is the loctite considered safe for this application? ie Will steam or heat cause compounds from it to leach into the water? Great repair by the way!
Thanks, fixed the link to the current one for the round tube. You can get "food safe" retaining compound, I used what I had on hand. The temperature rating is good to 300F/150C, so way hotter than this application would get. I applied the compound to the outside of the tube in from the end so most of it should end up between the valve body and the tube. As this is the drain port of the valve, the only water that flows through here goes into the diffuser and out into the drain pan, not terribly concerned with any small trace of compound getting in there. Over time, the drain cycle should flush out anything remaining inside.
It's not too hard, just take your time and don't force anything, especially when drilling out the hole in the valve. I used a handful of drill bits, working up one size at a time. All but the last bit was turned by hand. Also, if outside the US you would be looking for 5mm tubing and maybe a 6mm hose barb fitting.
Hi, do you have any recommendations for removing the steam wand entirely? I am having an issue where water/steam leaks from the top of the steam wand... I'm guessing it is likely a broken seal somewhere where the steam wand attaches - looking online, it seems like I should be able to unscrew the steam wand directly with a wrench, but mine won't budge. Any suggestions?
@@The4Crawler Thanks for the quick reply and sharing that link! That was what I was attempting to do, but I can't get the steam wand unscrewed at all... its completely stuck. Ah well.
@@lopazanski12c Just tried mine and it unscrews w/o too much trouble (right hand thread as expected). Might try working the hex nut back and forth a bit to see if it'll loosen up. There does seem to be a spring up inside the end.
@@The4Crawler Thanks for testing it out on yours, great to know thats what should happen... I've tried to get mine to move with quite a bit of force, and it hasn't moved a millimeter in either direction. Frustrating!
I’m having the same problem with mine. I purchased a replacement wand, but the trouble I’m having now is unscrewing the faulty one off the machine. Any luck with yours?
I originally used white vinegar per the Breville instructions, but then switched to Dezcal (citric acid) powder and now made my own version of that powder: ua-cam.com/video/E1-DanQEJEw/v-deo.html
What’s the function of this pipe? I am investigating a leak from this valve. Noticed that this hole is totally blocked inside. Try to blow some air into it. Is it supposed to see the air run through and come out from somewhere else? I already disassembled the valve to test the metal piece only
That port is the inlet to the manual valve. In the Stand By (middle) position, that port on the valve is routed to the diffuser and eventually to the drain tray. In Hot Water mode, air blown in should come out the hot water port and in Steam position, out the steam wand: ua-cam.com/video/9lMw6ooiqPI/v-deo.html
@@The4Crawler the one blocked on my machine is the hose barb you replaced in the video. I watched your another video about water flow, seems like it shouldn't be a dead end. now the question is that where is the blocking spot inside. if it is a straight line facing to the outlet hole, I can simply drill through it. can you know anywhere I can but a replacement part for this valve?
I ran a drill bit in as far as I could without drilling through the front side of the valve body, I started with a smaller bit and worked up until I hit the size drill bit that matched my tubing diameter, 3/16" in my case, 5mm would be a similar diameter for metric tubing. That valve is no longer available from what I can find looking on-line, link in the video description. You might try removing the one plate that holds the hot water hose in place to see if you can see inside the valve. On my machine, I can get one of the two screws loose, but the 2nd one seems to be stuck so I didn't want to force it and damage the valve any more.
Good to hear. Yes, I think these valves are prone to clogging internally. Not sure what they look like inside, though. Maybe some day I'll locate a dead machine I can pick up to tear apart.
Hello , would you know if this whole unit can be replaced? I had similar problem and the port was clogged because the bras head from the hose got fused with the port , I drilled it out ant tried to replace the hose , but in the process I broke the part of the port that holds the pin clamp , I'm not very mechanically inclined to machine new parts so wanted to see if I can replace that module. Or if you have any other suggestions. Thank you
It seems that valve may have been discontinued: www.ereplacementparts.com/selector-valve-assembly-p-1810370.html You could contact Breville with the p/n and see if they have any options. You could always bypass that valve by running the hose to diffuser/drain. That will eliminate the hot water/steam feature but still let you use the grinder and espresso features.
Hey man. My breville barista express does not stop dispensing water when i click thr 1 shot. Before it used to stop automatically at 12 seconds but not i have to to manually click the single shot buttom to make it stop. Any insights about this? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks Buddy
A few things to try. First, be sure to use a short press as a long press on the 1 cup button makes it run for an extended time. If that's not the issue, try resetting the default volumes. From the user manual: "To reset the machine to the default 1 CUP and 2 CUP shot volumes, press and hold the PROGRAM button until the machine beeps three times. Release the PROGRAM button. The machine will return to its original default volume settings and default espresso water temperature" If that doesn't do it, might be worth contacting Breville support and see if they have any other troubleshooting information.
Thank you for the response buddy. Ive done both but still failed. Im currently descaling it daily and not use it to make coffee. Hopefully its gonna help
It may be the problem is with the main controller board. All the buttons and solenoids are controlled by the main board. When you push the 1-cup button, that signal goes to the main board and then the solenoid is turned on for a period of time by the main board. Some other things to try is to unplug the machine for an hour or so and see if that gets it to reset and then you might try programming the 1-cup volume with the Program key following the instructions in the manual.
Likely either one oof the solenoid vavles is not working right or is hooked up/plumbed incorrectly. Water should flow through the thermo-coil and water/steam should exit via the top of the 3-way valve to the hot water/steam valve: ua-cam.com/video/9lMw6ooiqPI/v-deo.html Maybe your valve is stuck open and is sending steam out the brewing head instead.

Which one is it better to get 6mm or 1/4 6mm is 0.23 and 0.25inch is 6.35mm.
@@dans9462 Tighter is likely better, if the hose barbs are designed for the smaller 6mm dia. hose, then 6mm hose would give the tightest fit.
