- Here I will show you how to replace the water pump on a Breville 840XL Infuser.
You may want to consider this if you are noticing slower flow from the group head and water spigot.
Thanks, Espresso Guy! I had already purchased a new Infuser to replace ours, which is about 10 years old. Then I saw your video, bought a pump, and followed your excellent instructions. Voila! Our old machine now pulls shots like a champ. You saved us over $500.
Thank you very much for this very clear video. A few months ago, I replaced the pump of my Breville 840 to see if it would solve my long-standing low pressure/low water volume problem. It didn't but after re-watching your video and this one (ua-cam.com/video/9lMw6ooiqPI/v-deo.html), I finally understood how my Breville 840 worked, how to take it apart, and how to solve the problem that I had. There were two issues: (1) the 3/2 solenoid valve had to be replaced - it was causing some of the water to flow directly into the drain, resulting in low pressure and (2) there were air bubbles in the water coming out of the boiler, which was due to a crack in the silicone tube just below the pump. Opening the 3/2 valve entirely and cleaning it as explained in this other video (ua-cam.com/video/eljHS_BRJXk/v-deo.html) worked 90% of the time but I ended up replacing it for a more permanent solution - it also solved the buzzing sound. As for the 90 degrees silicone tube between the flow meter and the water pump - it can no longer be ordered (www.ereplacementparts.com/pump-inlet-tube-silicone-p-629894.html) so I just replaced it with a regular silicone tube. It is a bit bent but it apparently doesn't significantly restrict the flow and it doesn't cause any problem. Very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Thanks for the clear, concise directions in opening the machine! Excellent video!
Sensational video, thanks for your help. I used this to help swap out the pump on my Breville BES870, it's pretty well the same model on the inside. The original pump had stopped working completely and it took me about an hour to fix it, thanks to your video.
I purchased a generic espresso pump off ebay for about $40 to do this so very happy. For those who are interested I used the ULKA - EP5 48 watt 220/240 volt 15 Bar pump to fix it. Cheers
Thanks for the info. I'm sure I have to do the same thing
Thank you for this! This morning I discovered my Infuser no longer pulls shots. Water will come out of the brewhead at a slow pace when it is clear, but when I put in the portafilter with grounds there is not enough pressure for any water to come through it. Water Valve & Steam Wand still work perfectly. I believe this might be the issue and will give it a go!
Thank you very much! Watched your video. Discovered that it was the pump. (only after checking all the water lines to find them all clear of buildup.) Ordered pump, removed and replaced in 30 minutes. Too easy. Strong work.
Thanks! Repaired my Breville coffee machine after looking at your video. My machinne has been collecting dust for a couple of years and now she’s back and working like new. Impressive how clear, detailed and well put together your video is. Cheers!
Your Video was really of great help to me. Without I would have sent the machine to a workshop paying 150EUR or been buying a new one. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the video! I was able to replace my pump today, following your guidance, and now our Breville Infuser has a new lease on life.
Thank you so much! I am complete amateur, and I was able to do it in about 90 minutes but going very slowly. Be careful with rubber tunes cause they can be fragile after years of usage. Besides that the whole process is relatively easy. Thank you again.
This is fantastic! Would you please make a video on how to replace the solenoid?
So happy to have my Breville back, working better than ever! thank you again! I"d send a tip if I could.
Great video. I hooked everything back up, and the pump was sounding good but not pushing any water out. I think there were just too many air bubbles in the system. I took a dosing syringe, like the kind from a pharmacy for giving meds to kids, and I stuck it in the water supply hose that hooks to the tank. Forcing some water in while running that pump did the trick. It sputtered a few times and settled down. I'm now having great espresso again. Thank you!!
This was the most helpful thing I've found after days of searching, thank you!
Watched about 5 videos because i already failed to open the top. This is the solution. The 2 little screws. Thanks.
Great video, man. It was a bit too close up, I got a headache from watching full screen but the info and the skill is top notch. My Sage is not yet broken but now I know what to do when it will happen. Thank you
Great video! I Change the pump but still got the same result with low pression on coffee and frother... :) was fun to do and to follow you with clear steps! :)
Thanks a lot for making this detailed and helpful video. I have the Sage Duo Temp, so pretty much identical when it comes to pump replacement. I was struggling to get the thing apart, and I'd missed the two front recessed screws.
Extremely well done, this video made it easy to do this pump replacement step by step.
Great video! I would love to see a video on this machine where you go through the machine explaining how it makes the coffee as well as each of the parts and their function. Is that possible?
Thank you a thousand times ! Repaired my machine perfectly in about an hour !
Thanks. I just replaced the pump and my Breville Espresso machine is working perfectly. This video was a big help. Without the video I would have taken apart things I shouldnt have.
I have the same machine and I fixed it after watching your video. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much! I could rarely pull more than one shot on my second hand infuser before it started bouncing in pressure or just stopped working altogether. I replaced the pump as per the video and it seems to be working perfectly!! So happy right now.
A couple of questions.
Had you previously taken apart and reassembled the one in the video? Most of my connections were hard to remove but especially the ones on the pump.
And I couldn't get the tiny zip tie back on the bottom line that feeds into the pump, is that likely to cause issues down the line?.
came her for solenoid replacement help but i just wanted to see how to take apart the case. the valve sits right behind the pump. thank you for your video!
Great video. Well made, very clear and concise.
Thank you very much for your video. It was very helpful. I went to a coffee shop to get a new pump because Breville Canada was closed yesterday and the guy gave me a EAX5 pump instead of EFP5 pump. When I ask him the difference between the two, his answer was it's the same. It's seems to me steam isn't as powerful as before and water temperature is cooler than before. I'm questioning myself if made a mistake.
Thanks for the great video. Just changed my pump and back to good tasty coffee.
Thanks for your guide unfortunately mine is still suffering from very poor pressure despite installing a new pump. I have already descaled it, checked for leaks etc…. It was fine for 7 years then one day it started pumping 50% of usual volume on hot water for long blacks and quite a few seconds to start dripping after pre-infusion when it used to be instant.
It was the inline filter inside the machine. Planned obsolescence? Only found one shop that has the replacement part.
Outstanding instructions, thank you so much!
Thankful for this video and all the comments, I was able to find a suitable pump replacement for my Breville 830 right on amazon. 👍🏻
Tarran Ramcharitar was your pump rivited in place or held with screws?
Awesome video! Thank you so much, just replaced the pump on my 870XL and it´s working great!
Awesome video! Could you do a series of common repairs & troubleshooting for the Breville Infuser? Keep up the great work!
Gray Haas That is the plan. This was just a test video to figure some things out, I have many more planned.
@thatespressoguy2923 - did you start a different channel? This was awesome
Great instructions! New pump in and great espresso back out! Thanks
My machine fell to the ground and doesn’t turn on. I opened it and there is nothing broken. All connections in place and solid. Maybe the power button /front panel block broke? How do I get to it? Suggestions?
How did you know that pump needed replaced? (Ours is making a new buzzing sound that concerned us at the same time it seemed to have a little less water pressure. I took it apart after watching your video and it does seem to be vibrating the tubes connected to that pump.) But how do you determine that the pump needs replaced?
Did you resolve your vibration? While infusing, even at low pressure, ours often has a sharp rattle that usually goes away part way through the cycle.
@@TimConama yes
But still no water pressure. It must have been something else.
Thanks for the awesome video. Just replaced my pump and have a great working machine again!
Bryce Edelman Thanks! Glad it helped.
Bryce Edelman is it a common failure on the pumps?
Holy cow. What an awesome video.
This was fantastically helpful. Thanks so much.
Hi
I see a lot of plastic tubing, is there a tube which is in touch with hot water?
I liked your video a lot, pretty good information. I have a question, I just bought the Breville Infuser and I’m pretty happy so far (I’ve only made like 4 cups of coffee :-)) how often do these pumps break? How do you know when they’re going bad? Thanks
I too want to know how to determine when they need replacing. Ours is 8 years old and just started to make a different noise and seems to have less water pressure. So eight years of using ours daily and MAYBE our pump is needing replaced.
Hi expresó guy. Happy New Year to you and your family. Question: Does this (changing out the pump) work for the Breville BES 860XL? Same part number? Thanks.
Great Video! Could you tell me what the symptoms are for a bad pump?
Ehsan El Attar A decrease in shot pressure that is not fixed with a finer grind. Excess steam from group head and hot water tap. Although these symptoms can be caused by other things as well. Usually these pumps are only good for 5-6 years max so if it's getting close to that point no harm in changing it.
Excellent video!!! Can you please tell me how I choose from the many Ulka replacement pumps out there the correct one for my Breville Infuser. I understand it should be 1/1.5 but am lost as to the correct one to purchase on Amazon. Many thanks, Mike
Hi there,awesome tutorial. I live outside of the USA and have a Breville Dual Boiler BES920XL and am having a hard time finding the water pump to replace the broken one (Breville is not being very cooperative) Any suggests how to order a replacement? I do have a shipping address in the US Greetings from sunny 😎 Curaçao
Oh, my goodness, this is the only video you've made? Surely you have another channel somewhere?
Great Vid! I am troubleshooting the issue with my 840. The pressure does not change after the pump cycles up to produce espresso...
I am wondering is this a pump issue?
has the pump worn out?
The machine is three years old this month. If it's not the pump, how do I trouble shoot the issue? Thank you!!
Thanks for the video, I have the same machine, it began leaking out of the back. I removed the top and back and found out the 90 degree plastic fitting on the right side of the 'manifold' (not sure what to call it, the thing with the two solenoids on it) is leaking. Any idea how to get a replacement?
Thanks. Quick n' easy.
Why are the spade clips on the wires so hard to get off? I just broke one trying to remove it 😢
Hey!! The rectangular white part, to the left of the water filter, do you have a video on how to replace that?
Hi great video, where did you get the pump from I have a 800esxl OEM pump impossible to find. Perhaps that pump would work spec seem right
How can you tell if the pump is what needs to he replaced? I'm having trouble where, if I trun the knob to steam or hot water, they both come out of the espresso part and not their respective hot water spout or steam want. It's like the selector doesn't work or there is a clog somewhere forcing all water and steam back to the main out. Any idea what to trouble shoot?
The change of the water pump didn't fix my issue. Can you help? When i turn it on it doesn't make the same loud noise, but it sounds like its clogged. And there is barely any water coming out of the machine. Any ideas?
My 870 is giving me low pressure would this be a pump issue
Do you know where a person can get parts in Canada? I am having no luck at all!!
mine has solid steam light and just keeps knocking and zero steam. the machine won't get out from the knocking/heating mode and the wand does NOTHING at all.? Plus, my pressure gauge will NOT WORK under any circumstance. I have decalcified with 7% vinegar/water 50/50 and rinsed and the water fills the excess/fill tray faster than the 'pot' i put under the portafilter!. Do you think there is a blockage or some other part broken?? Well, for sure SOMETHING IS BROKEN. Any assistance would be appreciated from Ontario Canada! Thx.
Hi. My infuser do a lot of noise. I believe in view of pump vibration. Do you think it is possible to add some rubber bush, e.g., pencil eraser portions, in pump support to absorb vibration and eliminate noise? Could you do a video to help us.
I'm intrigued that you have blue wires going to the left most terminals on your left solenoid (and the red wire going to the one on the right). Inside of mine, they are reversed, and they seem to be reversed in several of the other videos I've seen as well. Does it not matter?
IT WORKED!! Thanks - Luv ya!
Hello, where can I find a power switch replacement?
Thanks for the help!
good vídeo man! í have a breville 870 and the buttons sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't! can i open it? and use this pressure air? please help me man
Do you have a video on how to replace the pressure gauge on the BES870XL? I can’t quite figure out how to remove the front gauge panel so that I can get to the pressure gauge.
Excellent video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My coffee machine has stopped extracting coffee, I.e. the needle does not move when extracting coffee, everything else works, is this the part I need??
Hello dear, my breville infuser the lights work, the steamer work, the hot water works, bit the pump for getting the coffe e out, it's Stones working, what part do I have to replace, please help me
I hope this helps someone but before replacing your pump. Check the inline filter from tank to pump. Mine was blocked and replacing pump was a waste of time.
Thank you!
worked like a charm!
My machine stops producing steam and hot water after a short while is this due to the pump ?
thank you so much!!!! This is great video.
Hello sir can you help me with my Bes810. i plug in but no electric go through machine. what part i am going to change? thanks chantha,
Sir im having a slow response and flow from the steam wand, the steam wand tend to stop (like 8-12 seconds)even before i turn back the knob to neutral please help. Thanks
Hello!! My Breville leaks/drips water through the coffee area (water dispenser) while I do the steaming in the steaming band. Any ideas? Will it be the water dispenser, boiler or solenoid valve? I performed a couple of cleaning and descale cycles and everything looks clean. Thanks
engrxtn I have found the most common cause for your issue is mineral build up. I would try using a proper descaler not just vinegar. If that fails it will be a bad brew valve.
I've replace both the pump and solenoid block and my machine still wont pull water from the tank... any thoughts as to why??
Either water is blocked going into the pump, or it's blocked going to the group head. Calcium buildup comes to mind. In a BES840XL, which I have, the tube comes out of the pump and goes to the heating element, remove the tube connected to the element. Find a way to collect the water safely, and test the unit.
1. If NO water comes out, blockage is before the pump.
An in-tank filter has a screen that could plug up, check it.
Tube from the tank has an inline filter and flow meter, check for clog.
2. If water DOES come out, your blockage is after the pump.
Check to see if the element or group head is plugged.
You replaced the pump and valves, so they are good. Move safely ahead.
My infuser pressure gauge doesn’t move, and there are less type to no crema from the extraction. Do you think new pump will fix it?
did you try to grind your coffe finer ?
My infuser makes a loud noise when brewing and the gauge isn’t moving. Any idea why this is happening?
same here! Got any update by any chance?
Sam L. No nothing yet 🙁
@@snaashers check out what I found: it might be the issue? ua-cam.com/video/1gEK2rDkaB0/v-deo.html
Just replaced the pump and the machine is working again. However now the espresso machine does not stop pulling shot. Water keeps pumping out. Doesn’t matter one or two shot button is pressed. Any idea?
Kian Mun Kong mine is doing the same thing just started doing it. What happened what yours?
Lately, everytime I go to draw my double shot(s) as I push the far right button it makes what sounds like it's "shorting out"....a crackling noise which after a couple of seconds does stop and continues dispensing the shots. What do you suppose this is?
Chris Gude Solenoid valve is broken. There are a bunch of videos on UA-cam about this issue on Breville machines.
My year old machine just started making a big noise after I cleaned it per instruction manual; does it need a new water pump?
Dean Riley If the noise is a rattle/buzz when running a shot you need a new 3-way solenoid valve. Common to fail on these especially after descaling with vinegar. Breville should not recommend vinegar, only descaling products rated for espresso machines.
Thanks! I ran more water through & noise ceased, but expecting further issues. I ordered a descaling solution for next cleaning. Really appreciate your prompt response.
And is it safe to use citric acid? Cheers...
That Espresso Guy it would save my life if you could upload a video showing how to replace the solenoid valve, please!
love the video all makes sense now thank youy
Any idea where we can get the water pump for a Breville 840xl? I called Breville and they don't sell the part. Our went out and is no longer under warranty.
You want to find a Breville authorized service centre.
Or just grab a ULKA pump off amazon. Any type will do the job as long as its 120v.
When you say a pump should meet the minimum flow requirements, what exactly are we looking for?
usually the diode in the pump is what burns out ... see image and discussion here....
www.home-barista.com/espresso-machines/quickmill-anita-with-erratic-brew-pressure-t18621-60.html
after seeing that, instead of replacing my pump, I cut away the plastic and soldered in a new diode .. works perfectly now, and saved a ton of money.
Nice 🙂🙂
Hey I was wondering where I can get a replacement O-Ring as mine cracked? The ID is SP0001555. If you could get back to me that would be great.
I am terrible at technical things. Do you do repairs on machines
Does anyone sell the pumps?
This seems to be missing a few things, first of all, there are a lot of zip ties here that need to be removed to get any of those hoses to come loose. And, the pliers appears to be mandatory. Without it, they'll wiggle, but you're not getting them off without a pliers. Stupid design, that type of connector is supposed to be removable without tools.
Tried but had to buy a new one.
This would have been better on a new machine. The reality here is that it's virtually impossible to remove those leads from the pump and seeing it done on a machine that's already had a replacement doesn't do justice to just how hard it is to get those leads to come off. FIrstly, there's getting the pliers in there, which is no easy feat, but then you have to pull rather hard because they put it on there good.
OK, I was able to get them off, but it requires a lot more pulling than in later attempts.
You forgot the the seal for the extension cord in the back !!
