LUCCA M58: Replacing Steam Boiler Element

Below you will find instructions for replacing the steam boiler element in a Quick Mill LUCCA M58 Espresso Machine. (Difficulty ☕☕☕)

Tools Needed:

  • 1 7/16" Socket + Impact Driver
  • Phillips Screwdriver
  • 7mm Crescent Wrench/Adjustable Wrench
  • New 1400W Element

1. Drain the boiler of the machine.

2. With the bottom panel removed, you will have access to the boilers. If the machine is laying on its right side, the element for the steam boiler will be up higher. It has a third wire coming out of it as well, if you're having trouble distinguishing between the two elements.

5. Reinstall the new element in reverse order, making sure the gasket is in place. You'll need to tighten the element with the impact driver to get it tight enough not to leak (~100Nm).

6. Test machine and check for leaks which would indicate needing to tighten the element down a little bit more.
