- Hi,
In this video I'll describe how you can fix your Nespresso machine replacing the bearing or putting some grease inside old one if it's still good also how you can reach to the pipe that sometimes blocks and stops the water.
Tools you'll need:
Screwdriver T20 T9 Flat
Parts:
Bearing STAINLESS STEEL (this is important or it will rust) 6901 12x24x6 s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9ij8wl

Just spent about 2 hours following this video to replace the bearing, as well as pretty thoroughly cleaning as many parts and pieces as possible. It was totally worth the time and effort. The bearing only costs $6on Amazon, and a good set of electronics screwdrivers was maybe $8-$12 more. Now I can fix loads of other fidgety things around the house! REMEMBER TO PHOTOGRAPH AS YOU GO EACH TIME YOU DISCONNECT OR REMOVE SOMETHING, BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER! I left a key part out and luckily caught my error. My only suggestion/comment would be that a fair amount of the video is not properly framed to get the parts of the coffee maker or the process involved. Worth a re-do, I think. Thanks for the helpful and informative video.
Can you put a link to the one you got on Amazon? Happy with it?
Thank you for doing this video! My husband ordered the new bearing and replaced it yesterday, it's amazing how bad it had gotten. We've saved so much money by not having to buy a new machine for just this part!! Thanks again.

This was so helpful. My nespresso was getting so loud. Woke up the house every morning. Couldn’t believe how quiet it’s supposed to be after we ran it with the new bearing. Thanks for sharing this video!
Thanks, subscribe ;-)
We’re it’s the right size and we’re to order please
Thank you so much. I bought a used machine and after many cleaning cycles I was still getting gunk out. I’m sure it could use a new bearing but your video helped me disassemble it so I could clean all the dirt out. Thank you! Now I’m off to find a video on how to flush out that rubber tube. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Glad I could help.
Same!
Dude thank you so much! I had taken the top off but didn’t know how to get to the bearing. I cleaned the bearing out with some brakleen and metal picks, and added some brake grease lol. I had to leave the room before because the machine was so loud, now it’s insanely quiet. I love fixing things and this was the most helpful video. Thanks man
Glad that it helped. Don't forget to subscribe ;-)
Well done on repairing yours as well 🙂👍
This is absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for this video! Simple instructions and now the machine is REALLY quiet compared to what it was. Thank you again for posting this!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this excellent guide. I followed your instructions and replaced the bearing. The machine is significantly quieter now. Key learning for me was to ensure the correct alignment of the open part of the rim on the little metal nozzle attached to the hose with the tiny raised plastic piece (in direction of hose). If you don’t do this, you’ll get watery coffee and water leaks. Thank you Andrew in the thread below.
Hi Robert, I noticed the little nozzle had a notch in it. I thought it was broken but saw that it was machined that way but I couldn't see a "slot" or something similar on the rubber connector. I just put it back in the house thing hoping for the best.I made one cup of coffee and nothing leaked. Should I notice if it is misaligned right away? Thanks. Rhonda
@@rhondabroadfoot2073 It should face the direction that the hose is coming from when the dial is in the unlocked position. If you look really closely, perhaps with a flashlight, you will see a slightly raised section where the nozzle goes (at about 11 o’clock) and when you align the notch with that, the nozzle sits 100% flush.
@@robertmooney9714 thank you!
Also sometimes when I disassemble something I do some photos for easier backwards assembly.
Thanks for sharing this! I experienced exactly what you described, and fixed it via your direction. You are so helpful too!
Thank you for the excellent video and detailed instructions. I called Nespresso customer service earlier and was told that it will cost $120 to fix my machine and will take 3 weeks to repair. So, I found your video, purchased the proper screw driver for $8.00, spent maybe an hour with the machine, and it’s fixed! Now, I’m enjoying my cup of coffee. 😃
Glad that it helped.
@mrgel1878 thank you for posting your experience with customer service. I have a Vertuo Chrome, currently selling for $164, so $120 for a repair and three weeks without a machine is not only not worth the expense but would kill my husband who drinks coffee three times a day! 😆
Great video .Clear instructions to take it apart. Had no water flow. Video helped me establish what the problem was. Short metal water tube at the end of the plastic pipe was completely blocked. Cleaned it up, All runs well now. Thank you!
I have watched several videos on this problem, and you video is by far the most helpful. My bearing completely seized up, so all I was getting when attempting to make a coffee was a clicking noise for a few seconds, followed by a blinking error. I think it was repeating, 2 blinks, then pause, and repeat. Thank you SO MUCH, you just saved me $230+ I've ordered, installed the new bearing and now my Vertuoline is working perfectly.
You're welcome!
You are a ROCKSTAR for putting this repair out there for everyone
I have missed my Nespresso coffee!!
Good that it helped.
THANK YOU so much!! Great video, clear, simple and precise. I was able to fix my noisy machine in no time following your steps. At the end, your advice was very helpful to put back the cover correctly. I put the bottom part at unlock position, and did the same thing with the top part, it went in like a charm.
Terrific contribution to user Do It Yourself repairs! Thank you. Post more!
Suggestion for DYI: use a parts container to keep track of all the small bits as you remove them.
If you're going to the trouble of opening the machine, get the best bearing you can, all-stainless and SEALED.The bearing is not unusual (
If there are less then 20 pieces I'm ok, for more definitely need to use container, as I mentioned only stainless steel or ceramic. I gave the link to a stainless steel one 316 with good seal . But I'll put also a note in description. Thanks.
Thank you! My machine is back up and running. I lost one black plastic tab, but that is the sacrifice to the god of repairs. 😂
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on how to quiet our mornings in the kitchen. No longer do we need to turn up NPR on the radio each time we make a cup of coffee. I ordered bearings through Amazon and went to town on our Vertuo just as you instructed in your video. When doing so, the small hollow metal tube in my water line came out and I put it back in but apparently did not line up the small 3/4 round washer on it with the little notch on the surface that it rests on. I reassembled the unit with the new bearing ring and proceeded to put all my tools away before testing the unit. When I tested it, the water leaked out of the bottom of the unit below the water tank. I remembered that I had reinstalled the small metal tube and thought perhaps therein lay the problem. I pulled out my tools again and took the machine apart for a second time. I pulled out the water hose and looked it over. It took a little bit to find the notch but then proceeded to line up the washer with the notch, reassembled the unit and all works fine. Thanks so much for producing the video and helping out thousands who have been yelling conversations to their spouses each time a cup of coffee is being brewed!
Thanks for this great video. After completion it all worked great except it only produced hot water. I also found that the small circlip on the central metal tube was the problem. There is a very small nub on the black plasic part where the circlip sits, and it is essential that the gap in circlip fits over this nub or it does not set properly. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this well-done video. My problem was completely different - the locking mechanism on my Vertuo popped off. This video helped me understand how to remove the chrome hood so I could replace the interior screws. Much appreciated!
Glad that it helped. Subscribe ;-)
Thank you for your video! I have had the Vertuo machine for a little over 5 years now and it was waking up the entire household while making coffee in the morning, Nespresso offered me a small discount for a new machine, although not available for their latest line. I am so happy that I came across your video, and decided to try to fix it myself. I got a 5 pack of bearings on Amazon for less than $7 and followed your instructions step by step. It went great! Thanks again!!
I did it! Watched your's & a few other videos, but kept coming back here. Ordered the bearings & performed the surgery quickly. The result was awesome! Noise was reduced to a whisper. I am thankful to you for your video which was very helpful.

Spent all day trying to fix my machine and I came across this video! My machine works perfectly now! All I did was clean the bearing it had inside and now it works like new! Thank you for this video!
Thanks, don't forget to subscribe.
Thank you! I bought a used machine at a thrift store on the gamble of if it was broke there was a chance that I could repair it. Took it home and it just clicked and made a grunting noice. Watched your video and then ordered bearings. Did the repair like you showed me. Just got done drinking my second espresso 😊. Thank you again!
Glad I could help!
Thank you!! I particularly appreciate the description of how to take apart the machine on the right as I could not find that elsewhere. Runs like new - what a difference!
Thank you so much for your video! I changed the bearing and it works perfectly! I couldn’t have done it without your instruction!
Thank u. This worked great.
My bearing had seased up completely a couple times so I was ready to replace it. I was able to get machine working while a bearing arrived by manually rotating the part that pokes holes in the capsule but it ran very loud.
Once the replacement bearing arrived, I found out that just cleaning the bearing and adding some oil (without removing the ball bearing covers) worked great. The bearing was covered in coffee so all it seemed to need was a good cleaning.
Some bearings have to much use in them, it's always better to have a spare one.
WOW! You saved me the cost of a new machine. I purchased the tools and replacement ball bearing and, other than having to use a need nose pliers to help loosen the black nut, everything went just at you described. Thank you so much!
Did you have trouble with getting the screw off to access the bearing? Was it on very tight?
Thanks. Big help today. Was able to fix my handle, the two interior screws came loose and I was able to figure it out by watching your video.
Just followed instructions. Pulled the bearing out of the housing. Didn’t feel like buying a new one and waiting so i just spun the inside part of the bearing until it loosened up. Did that for about 2 minutes to make sure nothing is lodged in there and it was spinning freely. Put it all back together. And now the machines works. If it happens again I’ll buy a new bearing. Thank you for the detailed instructional. It was easy to follow.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. This is going to help a lot of people 🙂
I was looking for one and couldn't find, so made this one, if you like it don't forget to like and subscribe ;-)
Worked Great! Thank you so much. I'd forgotten how quiet the machine used to be when it was new.
You're welcome!
I just replaced the bearing on mine and this video was incredibly helpful. The only nerve wracking part was removing the cover of the model on the right without breaking the plastic tabs. After that it was smooth sailing. I also lost the spring on the front like in the video and spent a lot of time looking for it so I suggest removing it before doing any of the other work. Thanks - great instructions!
I too am about to remove the cover on the machine on right. Can you kindly tell me where the plastic tabs you refer to are located and how you proceeded exactly ? Thanks
I found your video very helpful and after bearing replacement the machine is quiet. I have several suggestions to make the process more clear. First, the use of a focused light such as a headlamp when working on the underside on the will allow one to see how to disengage the chrome cover more easily at the front of the machine. Second, I suggest that you alter the camera angle a bit so that the process you are doing is centered on the screen. Lastly, the way to insure alignment when re-installing the chrome cover is to close the machine and insure it's fully in lock position, before placing the cover on. Then, by holding the lever in the locked position as the cover is placed, it has to engage properly.
Thanks tor suggestions next time will do better ;-)
I'm thankful for the video. The old bearing was crusty from corrosion and a lot of use. I ordered a new bearing from Amazon and the replacement process went smoothly. I did have a problem on reassembly that is worth noting though and not included in the instructions. Water leaked out of the cap being held by the four screws preventing the machine from working properly. On closer examination, I noted that the short metal pipe which inserts into the end of the rubber supply line has a "C" ring on it. (When I disassembled my unit, the short pipe came out of the rubber supply line). On reassembly, and when inserting the short metal pipe into the top of the head of the unit, it is important to align the gap in the "C" ring with the plastic tab within the head, otherwise it doesn't provide a proper seal and causes a leak under pressure from the pump. Once I noted this, the machine operated flawlessly. Thanks again for your video, you have saved many people a lot of $ in repairs by Nespresso, or having to purchase a replacement.
Thank you so much for your informative video! I feel like the proverbial frog in a pot of slowly boiling water. I've owned my machine for years and lost track of just how loud my machine had become. I wanted to approach this with a little bit of science and downloaded a decibel meter app for my phone so that I could take volume readings before and after the bearing replacement. I was sure to take both measurements at a consistent distance of 2 feet with identical placement. The max decibel reading before replacing the bearing was a crazy 97 dB. With the new bearing, the max reading dropped to 73 dB. With the logarithmic nature of the dB scale, the 24 db drop equates to 1/8th the volume! The difference is staggering and wonderful! I accidentally ordered the standard steel bearing instead of the stainless/ceramic ones that you recommended. I received 6 bearings for the same price as one stainless steel bearing. I'll see how long the standard bearings last...perhaps as long as the other critical components on the machine which might break before rust becomes a problem. Either way, I'll be able to replace it 5 more times :) Thanks again!
No problem.
I got a new machine and put this one in the closet and fogot how loud it was. I came across your video and decided to give it a try. I've got a new machine again thanks alot great video
Terrific video, I followed along step by step and worked like a charm! If you liked (or still like) Lego, you'll love this. Like many have said, use a container for the small screws and springs. Also take pictures at each step before you take things apart so you can easily refer back in case you get lost.
When I put my machine back together, I ran three cleaning cycles and some grounds came out, probably from being kicked loose. So be sure to do this before you brew your next cup of coffee.
Also a note on the silicone water hose: there is a metal pipe that must be lined up perfectly with the hose and the plastic cover. Make sure you line them up correctly when putting the machine back together or it won't seal properly and you'll get watery coffee and a leaky machine.
Thank you so much. Very useful video and instructions. I was about to change our machine and you saved us unnecessary expense. Now the machine works like new with no loud jet engine like noise towards the end (high RPM).
Glad it helped.
It fixed the noise issue but created another - Started making watery coffee and espresso. Tried resetting and troubleshooting with tech help from Nespresso. It didn't work and had to buy a new one at discount by returning the broken one.
Great Video!!! Note that my bearing was completely seized. Replaced the $7 bearing using your procedure, and now the machine works like new. Needed to watch video to replace parts in the proper sequence after installing the bearing. Well Done!! and thanks again
Glad it helped!
My machine stopped working (sounded jammed). With a lot of persistance it took me hours to do the repair with the help of my nephew. It was not easy removing and reinstalling the piece that holds the bearing. My fingers hurt. Works now like brand new. The person who is demonstrating is a real pro who knows how to feel the parts. I wanted to keep this machine because the new ones look cheaply made.
Great video. I was able to follow this and found out my bearing had failed completely. I ordered a new bearing off of Amazon and got it in 2 days vs. waiting weeks to get it from your recommended link. Also, I recommend getting a "food grade" bearing. The instructions and video were very good but there were a couple of times when you needed to move the camera and didn't so we weren't able to see what you were doing. I hadn't realized how loud the old bearing was getting until I put the new one in and ran the machine. It's whisper quiet like it must have been 5 years ago. Thanks!
Glad it helped. .
Could you please give me the amazon link for the bearing. Thanks!
I want to thank you. Your video was great ! Following your instructions was really easy to replace the bearing and now our machine "sounds" ( I must say does not sound) like new.
This is Amazing！ I just fixed my screaming Vertuo machine, and it's quiet like a new one! You are just a genius !
Glad it helped, subscribe fore more videos.
Thank you for this video. There are very few videos regarding how to fix these machines. Your efforts are appreciated!
You are welcome!
Thanks man! This thing is shockingly quiet now. Couldn’t believe how loud it got!
No problem 👍
I’ve watched your video several times and I think I can fix my nespresso. Thanks for the instructions.
You can do it.
Fixed my Nespresso thanks to your video!!! Just a note for others…the first time re-assembling the machine, I tightened it down too much, so caused some friction in the spinner. After loosening it up ever so slightly, everything worked like a charm and was nice and quiet. The key is to tightening things up enough, but ensure the spinner moves relatively freely without “squeaking”.
Thank you!! When I got my old bearing out it disintegrated in my hand… now works like a charm. Perfect instructions 😊
Thanks well done. I didn't replace bearing yet I just cleaned and lubed it, and its much quieter now.
Excellent! Don't forget to subscribe.
THANK YOU!!!! I bought a 2nd hand machine as my old one konked out on me. When I tried cleaning it no water would come out and nothing would work but this solved it!! We ended up having to use an aquarium hand pump because we couldn't create enough pressure blowing into it ourselves and it worked ASAP. You saved me $200!!
Thank you! Very glad I found your video and decided to tackle this repair instead of getting rid of my Nespresso. Hopefully many more years of expensive but tasty coffee ahead.
Glad it helped!
Thank you, @RomaFix! My machine is now ~30db quieter - the pump is now louder than the spinner! A quick note to make re-attachment of the cover easier; I marked the position of the rotating plate in the base using a china marker, one tick mark on each side of the molded fingers that protrude up and fit into the pockets in the release lever. It made it a lot easier to put the cover on properly the first time. Thanks again for a great video, you saved me 200 USD.
Thanks so much for the video! Took about 45 minutes to do, I wasn’t as fast as you in your video but you show the steps very well.
My coffee machine sounds like it’s brand new again!
(I don’t usually comment on videos but had to just to say thanks, you have saved me a lot of money just buying a bearing and not and new coffee machine!!!)
Thanks don't forget to subscribe ;)
Thank you was thinking about replacing machine!!! Ran several thousand coffees through ours before it started making noise but now it’s very very loud
Glad I could help!
Ultimately you saved me purchasing a new machine. Thanks!
You are welcome! Don't forget to subscribe ;-)
Thanks for the video! I needed help getting the cover off and your early description was spot on! I also had a loose spring
which I saw you find and replace properly. This was also a big help. I replaced the bearing and my machine is running great.
Glad it helped!
So I'm back to report that with roughly twice daily use, it took the standard bearings 5 months to fail again. The stainless/ceramic bearings are not a place to save money. They are a must if you'd like this repair to last! I just installed the new stainless bearings and am sure these will last longer. The standard bearing was in absolutely horrible shape...far worse than the original that lasted 8 years. Thanks again for your helpful video!
Thanks.
Thank you so much my friend, I was able to fix my machine since this morning I could not drink my Nespresso coffee during my trip to the office, it was clogged from small coffee grounds at the end of the pipe tip (the black little tip that breaks the cup´s plastic lid). I think I could fix it without opening the machine but I was able to deeply clean all the inner parts and finally I assemble it with no problems. You deserve 100 likes!!!
Thanks.
Thank you!! Amazing video - almost threw the machine out it was so loud. Ended up going with not a stainless steel bearing but have 5 - so will see how long they last. Even if i have to do this every other month - worth it! Thanks again!
Glad it helped, Don't forget to subscribe.
Thank you very much for sharing this video. We saved good money from not buying a new coffee machine. A $7 fix saved $100s.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the tutorial. I got my machine back to quiet again.
great information. to reinstall the chrome top piece i lowered the head piece and locked it in place. then moved the rotating piece in the top to the lock position. that is, aligned the two lines.
Yes it can be assembled in multiple way. Thanks.
It worked! Got a little frustrated with some of the filming - like the springs that were cut off from the view 🤣
It's a little bit harder to manipulate with with it on camera but you understood the process )
Yeah this is huge. My wife’s sounds like a GD jet engine on a F15 fighter pilot. Thank you very much!
Very welcome!
This was the best video (minus the part off camera) but it worked like a charm!!! Thank you so much for making my mornings MUCH QUIETER!!!
You're so welcome!
Thanks to this video I was able to fix the same issue on mine!
Glad it helped .
I did all you said and cleaned the bearing and filled it with wheel grease. It was easy with your video (even if it wasn't always clear). Good explanations though. I managed to reinstall everything without remaining parts...youppi. The greasing didn't eliminate the noise. I guess I will have to order a new bearing. Thank you.
Yes.
This amazing video helped me fix my Nespresso, this is not only a fix for the noise, with my machine, the bearing change helped me with the problem of watery brew. This was happening because the bad bearing didn’t allow it to spin fast enough to push the water through the grinds
Thank you for posting this. You made it so easy to fix our noisy machine. Saved us quite a bit of money.
Wow! I am completely amazed. I followed your video step by step....SUCCESS! Many thanks!! I was ready to toss my Nespresso away if it didn't work, but you helped me save a couple hundred dollars! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Bearings we're way cheaper using the link you recommended - used Paypal - Alix Express delivered in three weeks - they were exactly what was needed - video was great - super helpful - wouldn't have known where to start - Machine was abused by my daughters who sufferred from no Starbucks during covid! Happy Holidays!
Glad it helped..
My machine was stuck in a cycle of blinking lights (would blink twice repeatedly) and when trying to reset or run in clean and descale mode the engine would make a click sound like it was stuck. After spending 30 minutes with Nespresso support, their conclusion was to send it in for repair ($150) or buy a new machine. Thank goodness I found this video because I was able to take the machine apart, soaked the parts shown in a bowl of white vinegar, cleaned with hot water and put back together. Machine is back up and running.
Great that you could fix it.
I followed instructions for ordering the bearing. Very inexpensive. I watched the video and completed the replacement step by step. Works perfectly and I can not remember since the Vertuo machine was as quiet. Very helpful video
Fixed the loud grinding noise issue. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
thank you for the video, you saved me a couple hundred dollars. The machine is so quiet now, it is hard to believe it was ever that quiet and I also have my crema back! Thanks so much. My one complaint about your video was at times, the part you were working on was not even in the frame of the video. But none the less, still a very good tutorial video.
Very impressed with the quality of your instructions and video and am so thankful you show us how to put it back! Just waiting for my bearing to come in and it clearly needed it. Very rusty and stuck hard inside the casing. Had to soak it and use a hammer to knock the old one out.
It is still not drawing in water. Quieter though!
Thank you for the repair help. I lubricated the bearing with silicone spray. The noise is gone now. We shall see for how long.
it depend on the grease but I would recommend you to order new bearing to have backup.
Excellent video, very clear. Thank you for helping me extend the life of my Nespresso machine!
Thank you...thank you...thank you! Saved buying a new machine when the only problem was one little screw in the head had come loose. Used some super glue gel and replaced it. Now works as new. I am curious as to the grease used for the bearing. I am asking for the day when I have to replace the bearing.
I used simple bearing grease, if you plan to keep it for long time order spare bearing it's couple of $ or you can do it when it becomes more noisy.
Thank you for this great video. Followed your instructions and now my Nespresso is like new. 😁
Cool, Like and Subscribe ;-)
I had clicking noise with no water coming out and 2 blinks and pause nonstop. This worked ! Thank you so much :)
Thansk.
Thank you so much!!! This worked amazingly well! Can’t believe how quiet the machine is now
I am plagiarizing Donald Dadey since he said it perfectly: "This is absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for this video! Simple instructions and now the machine is REALLY quiet compared to what it was. Thank you again for posting this!!!!!
One caveat - it was a little disconcerting to have the bottom part of the video cut off but one can eventually see everything. Maybe re-do? If not, I'm still VERY appreciative.
Thank you!!! Nespresso is working again thanks to you!!!
Great to hear!
I wish that I had the confidence to take this on, but thanks for posting.
You can do it! )
BEWARE: I definitely appreciate the video, of course. Thanks! BUT there are several steps that are too easy to get wrong. (Also, be very careful not to lose any of the springs.) NOTES: When disassembling: the bearing component (8:00), for me, required pliers (appears finger tight in video) ..... When reassembling, some steps RomaFix noted but deserve added emphasis:
1) 10:54 proper alignment of the 4-screw spring holder. I got that wrong, creating a puzzle and wasting time.
2) 11:10 water feed (triangular) head must be pressed in FIRMLY. He glossed over this tiny step and I failed to do this firmly enough. This caused machine to express mostly clear water and VERY little coffee (reduced essential pressure somehow). I had to re-do the whole process! Weird, since the water hose head attachment was all I did very slightly differently.
3) 13:30 alignment is very important BEFORE screwing the top back on. If you lock the top w/o the lever in proper alignment, the top will not unlock until you unscrew the 4 screws holding the top cover on and get at the 2 plastic clips somehow (1:47), which is a real pain. I ended up breaking these clips, which seems to affect nothing at all - feel free to break them, IMHO. Also, they do NOT un-clip nearly as easily as he showed.
Generally, the process is NOT as easy as suggested. I'm very handy and yet made a lot of little mistakes.
MY PROBLEM?: I think I viewed the video mostly in large chunks (and at 1.5x speed - bad idea!) and figured it would be obvious. I should have watched a step, paused the video and did that one step and proceed that way step by step, pausing for almost every step.
I also experienced the issue with weak/clear coffee through the the brewing process after following this video. I found that between not firmly connecting the water line and having the little metal connector tube firmly seated between the line and the brewing head was and issue. Also, I overtightened the screws which seems to have been a problem as well.
Good to know ..
The camera angle is also off and covers part of the front of the machine which is exactly what needs to be seen in better detail.
Bearing was completely seized.
Cleaned the bearing and lubed it with olive oil
Works great again!
olive oil wouldn't resist for long bearing grease would be better.
Thank you for step by step on how to open the machine. P.S. if bearing is in good condition pay close attention to the bottom part that get screwed onto the bearing. Similar to dogs on a washing machine they can be stuck in position and they should be able to spin freely all 4 dogs clean free up and replace if not broken, this should also repair the load sound when spinning.
Excellent video! Thank you so much. My machine is quieter than new!
You're welcome!
Worked great for me! ordered my bearing off ebay and it was perfect
Great to hear!
Thank you for the video. Machine is up and running again.
You're welcome!
Thank you! Used your video to purchase bearing and replace it. Great instructions! I don't have to cover my ears while making coffee anymore! :-)
Excellent! Don't forget to subscribe.
I need to do this again (did last year, thank you!), but wonder if the bearing needs to be a food safe one? Does water or coffee flow over/touch the bearing - worried about industrial grease in my coffee?
Thanks, our machine is so quiet now. However we had so much trouble trying to get the part with the big spring back in place we just did not have the strength in our arthritic thumbs to get it back in. It took almost two hours of pushing down we actually ended up cracking the plastic so hopefully the machine will last until the next FREE with capsule purchase offer.
Edited: I successfully changed the ball bearing, the noise subsided but it’s not making the coffee properly. I think I might have tightened to much at some point. Now I definitely need to buy another machine.
***Thank you for the video. I got it, I changed it!!! Very proud of myself. I have this machine for 5 years and I thought the noise was normal wear and tear.
So let me tell you that it’s not that simple. You will get frustrated and you will probably need an extra hand at some point. Another tip: mine is a De’Longhi model. Don’t close it! The spring on the left side won’t open it by pressing it.
When removing the big spring, inside that part is really hard to turn counterclockwise, my husband helped me with a plier. No more noise! I think I’ll stay with this machine for now! 😊
Hello. Thank you for the video. I ordered the part and will replace it when it arrives. Question about pumping the water and issues with this: Do you have a video or further recommendations?
What is the best way to clear out the plastic tube now that it is exposed?
Thank you for your help
Best way to align at the end is to lock the lid like you are making coffee and it easily aligns. Great video and thanks - mine was so lout you could hear it outside of my house. I did buy a new one, but I figured I'd give it a try and this video really helped. Now it's very quiet and now I have 2 Nespresso machines - might take one to work or something. Took under an hour. I bought the bearings on amazon - got 2 for $8.
Wow and thanks so much! This worked beautifully. No more airplanes in the kitchen!
You're welcome!
This video helped tremendously, thank you. I just want to point out that a T10 Torx bit fits the screws better than a T9. I also need a 14mm socket to release the plastic nut on top of the bearing -- it was pretty tight.
This worked perfectly, thank you!
Glad it helped! You are welcome.
Amazeballs thank you! So quiet now 😅
You are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for this video. I was easily able to follow and disassemble, change bearing, reassemble, and loud noise is gone!
