Diffuser Assembly SP0001463

There was a leak from the machine when steam knob was used, I found that the diffuser was the problem. its glued edges did not stand the steam (although there is no high pressure since there is a discharge opening on the part to the bottom tray). It appeared easy first until I found that I had to disassemble the whole steel mount from the casing on which everything is mounted on.There are 2 screws holding diffuser from the back. If they put the screws front it would probably take half hour to replace the diffuser. First of all. I did not take each part out, I only opened the screws that hold the steel mount so that I could tilt the assembly and reach the screws at the back. For that I had to remove front gauge cluster and steam knob (and loosen the steam wand-otherwise it blocks the mount by touching it from the side). Steam knob has a push release mechanism after releasing the knob by pushing slowly with a screwdriver you can remove the wand from its place and have a space to remove the assembly. Also the plastic fixing straps on the machine inner tubing is reusable don't cut them, just push them backwards slowly from each side at a time, and when you're done push them back to their place from left and right.
