Profitec Pro 500: Pump Replacement

Below you will find step-by-step instructions for replacing the vibratory pump on the Profitec Pro 500 Espresso Machine.

You can purchase a new vibratory pump and bulb filter from our web store.

Tools Needed:

• 2.5mm Allen Wrench
• 3mm Allen Wrench
• 10mm Open-ended Wrench
• 12mm Open-ended Wrench
• 13mm Open-ended Wrench

1. You will need to remove the panels of your machine, you can find instructions on how to do so here: Pro 500 Panel Removal

2. Remove the water reservoir housing by unthreading the white inlet at the bottom of the housing, and then unscrewing the 2 screws from the bottom of the machine.

If needed, you can completely remove the water tank housing by disconnecting the wires for the water level sensor, but this is not necessary as you can just set it to the side.

3. Disconnect the inlet hose from the pump, which is located under the boiler.

4. Disconnect the outlet line from the elbow fitting using your 13mm wrench.

5. You'll be able to work the black rubber mount off of the inlet side of the pump, which will allow you to then do the same on the other side.

6. Remove the 2 wires connected to the pump.

7. Unscrew the elbow from the pump outlet and transfer it over to the new pump.

8. Install the new pump into the machine by following the main steps in reverse.

NOTE: If you're replacing the pump in your machine due to age, it would also be a good idea to replace the bulb filter between the reservoir and the pump. This will ensure that an old deteriorating filter doesn't damage the new replacement pump.
