I ordered the part and now my coffee machine is working perfect again. Great video! Thank you for saving my machine :)
Thank you so much for the video! Followed your instructions and it has only cost me 17 euros for the piston… and now we have freshly ground coffee again every morning
You are a life saver. I have just about 5K cups on my machine and it's not dispensing enough water anymore. Getting stupid strong coffee which is great but I want more water in my coffee.
Thank you sir!
The piston is compatible with many models of the series. I fixed mine (Krups EA8150) using the same piston MS-0697072.
Note: there is a "nine" missing in the piston replacement part in the video description. Thanks again and regards.
Thanks for this great video. It helped me to fix my Krups ea81070 without any issue!
Thank you, that was brilliantly done and helped immensely !
I just want to thank you a tonne for putting these videos up. The place i'd go to charged me $100 to replace the O-ring alone. That O-ring at most after taxes and shipping costs something like $10, so these guys value their time at $90 an hour, which is ridiculous. It's a pleasure to actually get into the machine and learn how to fix it myself. Would love a video on how to replace the pump as well if that's something you'd be interested in looking at. I will be replacing the entire piston as soon as I receive it in the mail. Thanks' again. Additionally, in the description you are definitely missing a "9" in the part code.
Thanks for the heads up about the missing "9", will fix.
@@fixittom Replaced. Zero issues.
Hello!!! Thank you so much, for the video and very good explanation . For me was very difficult to open the top.
Greating from Mallorca.
I had no spare piston but recently bought spare O-Rings, using your perfect instruction replaced O-ring and now my Krups in business again! Thank you!
Same here, I have replaced the seals only after 5200 coffee cycles and no more leaking :)
Before I found this video (and your comment) I can proudly say I've done the same to replace the o rings only which cost little money and that do the job perfectly, I don't think piston needs to be replaced even there are signs of use. 6546 cycles on mine.
Perfect instructions
Thank you
Great video. Saved my life
Thank you from France
Thank you Tom! My husband wanted to get our coffee machine checked by professionals. I refused and tried to repaired it by myself because i can’t stand one more day without my freshly done coffee 🧟. Because of your video I instantly knew what’s going on and i immediately order new part. I did it! It works! 🛠️
It worked! Thanks a lot!
Very helpful video.
Thank you for this video. Our machine was leaking and thought I'd give this fix a try. It worked!
Tom, thanks for the great video. My Krups is leaking water; every time I use it there is water underneath, any idea of what could be causing it?
Awesome! Do you also know how to open a newer Krups EA873 (intuition preference) to do this fix?
Hi Tom, Firstly great video. I to had to replace the seals on mine, wish I had seen your video before I started! Since then I have a new issue, when water is being passed through the coffee, the piston begins to slowly rise and no coffee comes out, do you know what the issue could be?
Great video! I didn't old the new piston though. Am I screwed?
I have a EA815 Krups that is leaking coffee exactly as you said. Would the repair be just as easy?
Top job. Thanks :-)
Hello, I want to ask, I have a Krups EA829010 and when it turns on the display shows insert the cleaning drawer, but I don't have one for coffee machines, they are on old types. The switch for removing deposits is ok. How to turn it off. Thank you for your response.
Hi, can you help if you know what could cause the coffee not to shoot into the chamber? All works fine, but once the coffee grinds, stays on top.
Tom, I can't release the two clips at the top/back, are you lifting up, pushing back or how please?
Hi Tom, are you familiar with the Distributor on these Krups Coffee Makers … I was told mine may be clogged and it’s causing the piston to push up and leak coffee from the top of the piston area and/or during the cleaning cycle It drips coffee all over the counter from the bottom of the machine. 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
Hello my friend, My Krups EA8100 coffee grinder is spraying the coffee pulp up after brewing the coffee. Which parts do you think I should check? Thanks
Do you have any solution for the auto milk frother not steaming the milk enough? I often need to 'touch up' the temperature of my cappuccinos in the microwave (don't hate me for that).
Hello, I have a similar Krups coffee machine which has served us for about 3000 cups of coffee already. The coffee is now quite watery, I suspect it is the burr that has been shifted to a coarser setting (larger gap) even at the machine's finest grade through the dial. If you know how to fix it, please share with us. Many many thanks.
How did you get the top of the “grind sensitivity” cant get it off.
Do you know if it’s the same piston for EA829? My machine looks identical to yours.
Thank you for sharing, next time can you show us how to take off coffee ground inside the the machine (cleaning inside)
I replaced the piston but still have leakage around the seal. The piston drifts up during the brew cycle exposing the top o-ring and coffee and steam blow through. Any thoughts on why the piston does not stay down sufficiently?
Hello, i must ask you... when you opened it, why u didnt clean everything what is posible to clean and why u didnt change tubes. Greetings.
Replaced my piston as per your video but it still leaks coffee out of the bottom, any ideas what else could cause it?
You put the grease on the rubbers, that is going to come in your coffee?
I have replaced the piston couple of years ago, and the machine stopped leaking. But recently, it started leaking not from the piston area but somewhere in the front, where the two nozzles are.
I’m not 100% sure what your problem is. If the water is clear, then the issue may be with the flow meter. I will be posting a video on fixing that component by Friday.
my grinder has stoped working? how do I repair
Hi Tom, great video. Although the top didn't come off as easily as in your instruction, it worked eventually. However, the first run still leaked water, which comes out at the very bottom of the machine. There's a small gutter, I think especially for leak issues. After a few runs, perfect coffee but a small drip hangs at the bottom. It's not clear water. Do the rings have to set? Or could the part below the piston also be leaking? Did I attach the piston too tight? Hope you can share some thoughts
I’m sorry to hear you are still having problems. If the leak is not clear water then it likely has something to do with the brew chamber - it sounds like you have replaced the O-ring so you should be able to look into the cup warmer area and see if any coffee is coming out at the top of the brew chamber (around your new O-ring) If the leak is still there you may have to replace the piston and the O-ring. If there is nothing coming out from the top, then it becomes very hard to diagnosis, there are a few locations from which it could be coming but you’d actually have to see the drip before you would be able to solve the issue. I’m sorry I can’t be of more assistance.
@@fixittom Hey, well I fixed it eventually. I opened it all up again, and noticed that the piston came up quite a bit when making coffee. So I unscrewed it a tiny bit, aligned it better and tried again. Viola, no more leaking. Apparently the piston needs a little room to move?
@@creativepeter you can try to run the machine with the lid open and when the piston is down, pull the plug and tighten the screw. Then you can be sure the piston is in the right position
Cheers
@@AlistairBremen After two months I had to do a cleaning run, the whole thing flooded again. I threw the damn thing away and bought a new one
Hi Tom, I also have a Krups EA8250 I replaced the piston O-Rings and the center gasket after taking nearly the entire machine apart. I did not replace the piston yet since I thought it would only need the O-Rings What suggestions do you have
Thanks
Jim
I did same as you. Replaced o rings only and in my opinion this is sufficient, unless there is no other problem you do not need to change piston.

hello, tom Can you tell me how can i get out all plastick I mean front and back. Thanks :)
Hi, we are working on a video that discusses how to fix another issue with the machine. It also happens to cover removing the front and back plastic cover. It will be posted by Friday of this week.
Tom are you suppose to get water in the tray under the cup when you make a cup of coffee
Although I’m not a Krups repair tech, I believe the answer is yes. I believe this is a pressure relief mechanism that allows any water that cannot be pushed through the coffee an alternative place to go. It shouldn’t be a huge amount.
Hi, I just took apart and reassembled my machine but my display seems to be having issues. It was stuck on saying “krups”. I unplugged and reconnected and now it’s stuck on “goodbye”. Is there a way to reset the circuit board or something?
Unfortunately I'm not sure how to solve this problem. I haven't had any problems with the circuit board. Maybe try turning off the machine, then hold down the button in the middle and turn the machine on.
Hi Tom. I have same model and problem. Replaced the o rings, fixed the leakage. But somehow the coffee is very weak. Noticed that the grinding time is maybe half of the normal, the amount of coffee grounded and shoot down the brewer is also less than before. Do you have any idea what could it be?
Thanks in advance 🙂
Oh boy, I don't know about that, sorry. Good luck and let me know if you figure it out.
@@fixittom first of all Merry Christmas 😊 and tank you for your good channel. Temporary fixed it when just ran the grinder empty for few times, but over the time , again grinding time had reducing. Last fix was when new Delongi coffee machine was delivered to our office, no problems ever since 😁
Hi mate.
I'm not sure if you ever interested in the topic after 2years, but for anyone else reading this I want to tell I have the same issue. That is, after leaking problem and finding solution (I repaired by myself, before seeing this video and I did only o rings, piston wasn't replaced) I noticed the grinding time is much shorter and coffee tastes awful. I have no idea where is the sensor for the grinding motor to stop grinding, I assume there is some, and probably this is due to dirt or some other residue making false sensing and affecting in grinding too short. So far, I followed what you did and run the cycle without coffee beans. Doing that few times (maybe 3 or 4) I could hear the grinding is getting longer. Don't know for how long this will solve the problem, as you mentioned it comes back. I can only say this is some more common for this machine if you and me already had this. I only wonder if there is anybody else with solution out there...
Hi my spring is broken is there any store that has those or how can i fix it?
There are several springs in the machine. Not exactly sure which one you need but I’d recommend getting parts from ereplacementparts.com. Here’s the link for the EA8250 parts.

Спасибо за видео. Похоже у моей кофемашины такая же проблема. Срочно закажу деталь и надеюсь вскоре моя машина заработает.
I order the piston and received the wrong Piston would you know the part number for the AE9000 machine. My machine is a about 11 years old.
