Fantastic video. Great visual details. Great organized order of take-apart and put-together. Best part of all...gave me the confidence to take apart the ESAM 3300 that had leaked for over a year. Refurbished cost would have been $400, new would have been $850. Cost me two o-rings at 0.15 ¢ each!!!! Thank You!!
Your videos are so relaxing and satisfying. I'm always amazed at the amount of engineering that goes into making these machines. It's no wonder they're so expensive.
23:25 Die O-Ringe an der Brühgruppe sind scheinbar schonmal gewechselt worden. Die Originalen sind in der Regel schwarz und haben auch nicht 4mm Durchmesser, sondern 4,2.
Hallo, ich denke die original O-Ringe sind seit einigen Jahren erst schwarz. Ich empfehle bei der Brühgruppe der ESAM Modellreihe 4mm Durchmesser und am Brühkolben 4,2mm. Habe gute Erfahrungen mit dieser Kombination gemacht. Bei ECAM alle Dichtungen natürlich mit 4,2mm.
How easy is it to get any replacement parts you need? Do you get them from the manufacturer or do you use 3rd party spares? I have always thought that getting spares would be one of the hardest part of any repair!!
Spare parts for Delonghi coffee machines original or from third party suppliers are very easy to get, at least in Europe. You can buy these on amazon, ebay or online shops that specialize in spare parts for coffee machines.
Hello myworks, Very good work. I have a Delonghi ecam250.33.tb, the descale light flashes with the 4 coffee lights at the same time. do you know this type of problem?
@@abdoulayebah5578 If the machine tries to flush and the water pump becomes quieter, then it is indicative that the water pipes are clogged or calcified. In this case, it is necessary to check the water pipes.
@@yt.myworks in fact the machine is silent as soon as you turn it on the descaling light flashes at the same time the 4 coffee lights, after a few minutes the attention light comes on and the others go out. too weird
Terrific video, very helpful. What is it that you’re applying to the hose ends at 13:33? I am replacing my generator and having leaks where the hoses are reattached. Thanks!!
Hello, this is a food-grade silicone lubricant. Greasing prevents the o-rings from being damaged during installation. Did you also remove the big white connectors (Raccords)?
@@yt.myworks thanks for the response! I didn’t remove any raccords, I just pulled out the u-shaped pin from the raccord on the old generator, pulled out the hose, reinserted it in the new generator and put in the new u-pin. But, on the 2 hoses where I did this, it seems like it’s not making a tight connection and the water leaks out significantly.
Polishing stainless steel requires many hours of work. I've tried before, but with no good result. New drip tray, on the other hand, doesn't cost a lot of money.
@@yt.myworks Polished yes, but to make it brushed is very fast with 2000 grit sandpaper and it's also way more resistant to scratching. I guess that's why is so popular now on most modern finishes and appliances. Your patience to polish plastic is next level! love it!
My delonghi magnifica esam4200 died in its sleep the other day after 15 years! It had a good innings to be fair but curious to see if i can fix it. It basically doesn't power up anymore. Thinking the powerboard maybe on the side is i a good place to start?
Hello, yes that would be possible that the power board is broken. But it could also be due to the control panel. Unfortunately, I don't know much about electronics. However, there are many articles on the internet on the subject that can help you.
Hi there! Today I turned on my Magnifica after 3 months in storage. Prior to storage I knew the water pump was breaking, now it’s totally gone. Where did you find the parts for your refurb, including the dampener unit for the pump. My pump was always very loud. Thank you in advance for any help!

Hello, thank you for very instructive videos. May I ask you, what do you consider as more repairable and easier to maintain and endure? Jura or Delognhi? Thank you very much.
Hi, both Jura and DeLonghi offer some of the best coffee machines on the market, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. I recommend always choosing the most popular models, such as the Jura E8 or the DeLonghi Primadonna Soul. Higher-end models tend to be unnecessarily complicated and thus harder and more expensive to repair. Additionally, replacement parts for DeLonghi machines are generally a bit cheaper than those for Jura machines.
Theoretically, this would be possible with small changes to the front panel. However, there is no suitable software to have the same function as with machines with milk containers.
@@yt.myworks Oh, I did not mean modding the machine. My milk jug is missing its pipe (the one through which milk exits the jug and gets to the cup). I was wondering if I could improvise a pipe or buy one from somewhere (DeLonghi does not sell it directly) as I do not want to buy a new jug.
Hi Myworks, I have an issue with my Delonghi where the grinder only runs for about 2-3 seconds. If the shot runs it is very weak of course. Sometimes it doesn't run the shot and instead shows a flashing red light error on for the grounds container, which apparently refers to the grounds (scoop) being selected with no grounds being in the funnel. If it does this flashing red light thing, then no shot is poured. I'm noticing a build up of grounds in the funnel too.. which doesn't make sense. It was all working find until recently. Have you encountered this error? I'm not sure it if is mechanical or electrical. I've given the grinder a service based on your very helpful video. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!
Hello, first of all, you need to make sure that the brewing group is easy to move by hand. Otherwise, the machine thinks that too much coffee has been ground and reduces the time of the grinding process. After the brew group has been cleaned and regreased, prepare more than 5x coffee without coffee beans (ignore the error message). After that, the grinding time should be set back to 6-7 seconds. See also my other video about DeLonghi ESAM Mantenance: ua-cam.com/video/-BPGEyW5RVA/v-deo.htmlsi=Nc4-Zh5pV_i9HSru
Wow I could stop watching the video, great job! Do you know how to replace the green keypad control module? Mine doesn’t works while pressing the bottoms and I want to replace it but I can’t remove it from the transparent plastic that hold it, I’ll appreciate if you can tell me how, anyway here you have another fan! Many thanks
Hi, I can't remember if I've ever disassembled that part on this DeLonghi model. I recommend first taking a look at the new replacement part to understand how the attachments are set up. This should give you a good idea of how to remove the control panel.
OMG!! Now that i've found this video I am so tempted to give at fixing my DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM04.110.S another go. The problem with mine is the fact that the water sounds like its finally blocked somewhere inside as it kind of leaks nor it pours a coffee now. I have descaled it, tried to steam it out and even tried to run the hot water spout in the hope it was trapped air which could of been the cause of the problem but nothing has worked so far. Ive even been brave enough in taking some sections apart to give it a good deep clean but that hasnt worked either. Like yourself i am refusing to throw away what seems to be a good machine nor i like to waste. Shame I cant get you my machine to you so it can be featured on your UA-cam channel. hahaha! Apologies for my long "comment" but i thought id reach out thanking you in advance for such detailed video breakdown. Any tips/suggestions on my machine?
You can try to descale the machine using the "rinse" button. With this model, some areas are omitted in the descaling program. The recommended procedure can be seen in my other video: ua-cam.com/video/-BPGEyW5RVA/v-deo.html If all else fails, then the upper brewing piston needs to be looked at more closely ;-/
@@yt.myworks I believe it could be the upper brewing piston too as ive already tried most of what you've just mentioned apart from turning off the machine after 6 seconds without the infuser inside so one can clean the back and the tablet in the water tank. I even bought a new infuser and that didn't help either. but thanks for your recommendation, keep them coming haha!
@@yt.myworks Thanks very much. I have the whole machine stripped down now and I am just waiting for some new seals and grease to put it back together again. This unit had been sat on a shelf for about 5 years. Will be interesting to see what it can brew when sorted.
Ciao ho smontato pure io la mia delonghi magnifica... Dopo procedura decalcificante e pulizia totale ora lampeggia sempre la spia del troppo pieno caffè... Ma dove si trova il sensore? Come fa a capire che c'è troppi fondi caffe?
@@yt.myworks ciao funziona tutto! Ho scoperto che avevo girato per sbaglio la seconda manopola che cambia da chicchi a polvere di caffè. Era posizionato su polvere ma il contenitore era vuoto e lo segnalava. Sai dirmi come raggiungere quel sensore?
Nach 30 Sekunden die typischen Probleme bei dem Maschinentyp. Kaputter Bohnenfachdeckel (weiß der Teufel, wie die Leute das immer schaffen) und gerissener Kaffeeauslauf. Des halb nehme ich von den Maschinen immer Abstand. Die 3.xxx Typen haben den besseren und stabileren Auslauf.
Oh, die Maschine hat aber auch schon 14 Jahre auf der Uhr. Dafür sieht sie noch gut aus, besonders von innen. Da sieht das bei Jura nach der Zeit ganz anders aus. 😂
The precision, the quality of the video, the dedication can only be a made in Germany!! Well done!!!!
Man I love the way you film the whole process, such detail!

Refurbished cost would have been $400, new would have been $850. Cost me two o-rings at 0.15 ¢ each!!!! Thank You!!
I always find it remarkable that you can get it all back together again in the right order and no parts left over
But it's not that difficult if you've already done it several times. The machines from Delonghi are all constructed very similarly.
Your videos are so relaxing and satisfying. I'm always amazed at the amount of engineering that goes into making these machines. It's no wonder they're so expensive.
Relaxing, educational, fantastic. Many thanks.
everything is perfect👍🏻

Would you have any method of improvising/acquiring an external pipe for a milk jug (DeLonghi Dinamica)?
Theoretically, this would be possible with small changes to the front panel. However, there is no suitable software to have the same function as with machines with milk containers.

No, unfortunately these parts are not available to buy individually. The pipe has a seal on it so this is difficult to replicate.
