​

1. Remove the panels from the machine (you may leave the reservoir panel in place).

2. Identify the Fill Solenoid.
​
​

​
3. To gain better access to this part, you may disconnect the push-connect hose lines on the T tree fitting by pressing in on the brass ring with one hand, and pressing and then pulling the tube out with the other hand.
​
​

​
4. Remove the nut holding the solenoid body in place with a 14mm crescent wrench.
​
​

​

​
5. Now you may pull the solenoid box off of the armature and set it aside.
​
​

​
6. To gain even more access, you can slightly turn the fitting clockwise and you can also readjust the elbow fittings.
​
​

​
7. Using a 17mm deep socket (with an extension if needed) you can remove the armature from the valve body.
​
​

​
8. Inspect the spring and gasket for signs of wear or buildup (the one in the photo below needs to be cleaned by soaking in a hot bath of Urnex and giving it a scrub).
​
​

​

​
*If you only need to inspect/clean your solenoid valve, you can stop here.*
​
9. There will be 2 more push-connect fittings attached to the valve, you can choose to disconnect the one closest to you first, OR after removing the screws in step 10.
​
​

​
10. There will be 4 screws below the front panel, please use a small screwdriver to loosen the 2 circled in red.
​
​

​
11. Now the solenoid should be free to lift up out of the machine (It will look like A or B).
​
(A)
​

(B) - still need to remove the push connect water line -
​

​
12. You will need to remove the elbow fittings from the old solenoid and attach them to the new replacement solenoid using an adjustable wrench and a 13mm crescent wrench.
​
​

​

​
13. Follow these instructions in reverse to reassemble. Make sure all of the connections are secure before you reinsert the reservoir and turn it on to test for leaks.
​
​Please double check that the solenoid has been installed in the correct direction (it should say OLAB 1 on the side facing the front of the machine, and OLAB 2 on the side facing the boiler).
