Steam / Hot Water Leak: Diagnosis & Repair

Below are photos for diagnosing and repairing a steam / hot water leak on a QM67, Alex Duetto, Andreja Premium, Vetrano 2B, Profitec Pro 500/600/700/800 and any other espresso machine that uses the same style steam / hot water knob.

The photos from this repair are from an Alex Duetto. For this repair you will need:

• pick
• flat head screw driver
• 2x adjustable wrench
• threadlocker
• A new gasket, available on the website here.

Once the cap is removed use a pick to remove the e-clip from steam valve. Be careful not to fling it across the room.

At this point, you will want to apply a threadlocker to the brass bushing and fully reseat it into the knob.
