How I Fixed My Leaking Coffee Machine

My DIY journey fixing a leaking coffee machine by replacing worn-out O-rings, saving money and learning valuable repair skills

My trusty coffee machine started acting up - it was clearly leaking water from the bottom. At first, I thought it might be a simple issue, so I sent it to the official service center. They "fixed" it, but the problem returned after just a couple of weeks.

Taking Matters Into My Own Hands

Frustrated with the service center's temporary fix, I decided to investigate the issue myself. After some research and disassembly, I discovered the real culprit: worn-out O-rings inside the water circulation system.

The Problem Area

Leaking component location

The Solution

Replacing the O-rings turned out to be surprisingly simple: Since it's already easy to find this o-ring as set. It's better to change them all. I higly reccomend changing all o-rings

What part and how to change

Here's what worked for me:

This simple fix saved me from buying a new coffee machine and gave me the satisfaction of solving the problem myself. If your machine is leaking, check the O-rings first!
