    • Note where the steam valve knob connects to the valve assemble, at the top is a small hex nut. Use the 2mm hex wrench to loosen the nut by turning it counter clockwise, about 1/4 turn. Hold on to the wrench, keeping the steam knob shaft in the upright position.

    • Load and pour an espresso shot, and check the steam wand for leaks. If the wand is still leaking, go through the steps a second time.

A well thought out repair. However, the internal part that needs to be replaced is actually part number 9, which is the actual gasket for the steam valve plunger. I’ve done this on my old Saeco Barista and it worked well. My machine is 16 years old and the boiler works like a furnace. These are excellent machines.

I get my parts from Ebay, the seller is called coffeesection , parts ship from Bulgaria. He has everything you would need, his shipping prices seem high but he will provide free shipping if you do not demand tracked shipping.
