LUCCA A53 Mini / Mini Vivaldi: Hot Water Solenoid Disassembly

Below you will find instructions for disassembling the hot water solenoid on the La Spaziale LUCCA A53 Mini / Mini Vivaldi espresso machine, in case it needs to be cleaned or replaced.

Tools Needed:

  • 2x Adjustable Wrench
  • Phillips Screwdriver

 

Before starting please ensure the machine is powered off and fully cooled. Always unplug the machine from its power source before disassembling.

 

1. Remove the side panels of the machine.

2. Remove the front panel of the machine by unthreading the steam knob and then removing the two screws holding the front panel on. After this you can set the panel off to the side and out of the way.
