O-Ring

Remove sides, back, top and front control panel following video on eReplacementparts.com web site. Remove clips where tubes connect to generator and other interior machine parts, remove tube, remove old o-ring, replace with new o-ring, replace clips. Reassemble.

I unplugged the machine and removed the water tank and water tank cover. Then, I unscrewed the two screws on top of the machine holding the main covers in place, and carefully pried the steam knob off. After that, taking the cover off the unit is a little tricky. There's a tab in the back that locks it into place and takes some finesse to not break while trying to take the cover off.

Once it's off however, I located the tube running from the water pump to the heating element, removed the alligator clip holding it in place, and carefully pulled the tube free from the connector. I had to fish the o ring out from the connector with a toothpick, but it was relatively easy. I then slipped the new o ring over the tube, re-inserted the tube very firmly into the connector, locked it in place with the alligator clip, and tested the machine for leaks. Once confident that the leaks were solved, I replaced the cover, steam knob, etc and screwed everything back into place.

Overall a very simple repair, just take your time and make sure to use common sense.

I removed the top of coffee maker. Turn coffee pot on temporarily ( careful not to touch wires). Water was dripping out of one oil ring. I replaced both of them. Coffee pot works like new.

Remove the tube ends and replace each washer, refer to the part drawing from the website
Put the top over back and test for any leaking

Done

The hardest part was reaching three screws which secure the top of the machine. It requires a star drive. All of the other screws are small Phillips heads. After you remove those and two on the back, the top will lift right off.

I promise, everything is very intuitive. Unplug the hoses by simply pulling on them, remove the pump by wiggling it off its rubber mounts and unscrew the water valve connected to the pump the pump. Replace those with the new ones and reverse the process.

I chose to change a few of the other little pieces of tubing, simply because I was under the covers - super simple and cheap.

I also replaced the spring and valve on the head (where the water comes out) to ensure that the new pump didn't overwhelm an old valve.

This pump works perfectly in our Delonghi EC702, it actually is an improvement over the original one. With these parts changed, we have a completely new machine!

Thanks eReplacement for the super fast service and clear parts catalog!
