Many thanks for your pump repair video's. My Miele CVA 620 has not been used for a few years and displayed the usual 'expel air' and a very noisy pump. Managed to extract the pump (quite difficult!) stripped down according to the video and I'm now enjoying my first cup of coffee for a long time. Great of you to share your knolwedge Milen.
Thanks! The water pump on my carpet cleaner wasn't working. Although the internal mechanism was slightly different from what you show, the information you presented was spot on. The back flow preventer was stuck & easily fixable. You saved me $60!
Thank you my dear! I’m from Saudi Arabia and I had a problem with the water pump and changed the O ring. Therefore, everything is fine now! Thank you again!
Thank you, Milen. I just fixed my Gaggia Classic which uses the same motor. The little ball got stuck and the motor went super quiet. Indeed, so easy to fix. 👍
What a great video. Thanks for taking your time explaining how it works, I just fixed my Philips Saeco Intelia machine thanks to you!! Nothing was broken, just the small rubber valve was stuck. :)
Waoou, thanks so much for your Video. The local repair shop couldn't even find where the problem was coming from. You are a star to take the time to post such detailed video. Well done
Your repair demonstration is excellent and a money saver. Various versions of the Ulka pumps are used in medical equipment, to pump water or chemicals. After viewing your video, we have repaired several pumps, which we would have normally thrown out. We found problems with the “stuck ball” and replaced the smaller o-ring. Now the once malfunctioning pumps are all working properly. Thank you.
Watched your video, spent £3 on replacement ball and washer for the pump, coffee machine fixed!! Thank you very much for the clear and easy to follow help!!
Thank you so much, my milk steamer has a small 16W pump (Quickmill evolution 70 machine), and steam stopped coming out. I took the pump apart and put it back together, and now I have steam! You saved me a lot of hassle as this part was out of stock everywhere...
My Delonghi Magnifica is working again simply after taking the pump apart and putting it back together. You gave me the confidence to do it. I don't know exactly what the problem was, but it got it going. Thanks!
Excellent! I have a 2005 Starbucks Barista which quit pumping after sitting for several months. I had tried other ways to try to get the pump to flow but none worked. Thanks for showing how to disassemble the pump. Once I did that and reassembled it worked. Thanks again
Thank you for this very informative video. I repaired my pump for £2.07 as opposed to having to purchase a complete pump. My Magnifica is now working quietly and properly. I am both delighted and relieved with the result. 👍😊
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video! I only wish I had seen it earlier as have I already ordered a new motor. Will try to repair the old one anyway and have a spare! hehe
Great video, with just one note. I had a loud, non working pump in a Starbucks barista that had been sitting for a while. What I did was to elevate the water reservoir above the machine, forcing water into the pump. This allowed the pump to push with water instead of air, freeing the black rubber valve. It worked, and I did not have to take out the pump.
Excellent video! Thank you for making it. I just purchased an espresso machine that had been in storage for years. The pump would not prime. I used a plastic syringe full of water, to force water through those check valves, by removing the filter from the water supply hose, and putting the syringe onto the hose. (I got the plastic syringe from a local drug store by asking them if they had syringes for giving pets medicine. This kind of syringe has no needle.) After the pump was force primed, it worked, but the flow was very low. I removed the pump, and took it apart as you show here. I found that small 9mm x 5mm x 2mm o-ring was hard as a rock. I replaced it with one from the plumbing department in the local hardware store, and now the pump delivers a lot of water! Saved myself $45.
Thanks to your video showing the inside, I repaired the pump in my Nivona Romatica coffee machine. I had put a dodgy water filter in the machine. Water flow washed out the filter's insides and through the pipes, the water flow controller to the pump itself. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you!! Yes, between the total dismount of my De Longhi EC680R and the whole job itself (2 hours), I now have a working coffee machine which was going straight to the bin! All about a stupid spring and a 2mm ball stuck, who would ever figure it out!! Thank you 🙌💪👏👍
Thank you mate! you saved my ULKA pump from a Lavazza EP951 ! back flow valve stuck! i noticed that my pump hasn't the little ball, maybe a different model!
Thank you very much, you just saved my old DolceGusto coffee machine, the little mushroom ball was stuck in my case after a long period of not using the machine at all. Thanks again very very much
I appreciate your time. I repair autoclave and my cofee machine use same pump but I never care that the plastic ball shrink in size by time, thank you again.
Thank you! Very helpful vid, helped me a lot in deteminating the issue (low pressure) with my Isomac Giada. Pump in the machine was about 12 years old..
Raimz Gamez, hello. Did you find a solution about your low pressure? I’ve the same problem. Firstly I cleaned all lines with (vinagre), secondly clear and air blockage with not improve pressure. And finally I checked the pump. It was working but I also change plastic ball by another (metallic bike ball). The pump, the oring was ok. Then try again to prepare coffee and not got to improve the pressure. If you have any idea? Thanks a lot. Kind regards
Hi Juan, I know it been a long time ago, but I'm facing problems with pressure with my VBM, the pressure from the water pump increase very slowly. I was thinking also to try the clean and change the plastic ball as you did, but it seems not gonna solve this. I was curious to know if you fix this issue with pressure yet😊
Thanks a lot for this, complete, instructive and clever thought 😌👌 and you have the same voice as me, without the french accent😂😂.. that was really funny to hear 😂🔥👌
Very well done. Not easy for the english but you`ve been so friendly and helpful. Now i`ll try to check and repair in the case the water pump from De Longhi ec200 cdb. The coffee machine is been stopped for more than 2 years, so the water now isn`t going out. I think, probably are the orings or tha same that you show up. Thanks again, all the best*****
Thanks a lot man! One suggestion is that to write the common coffee machine types that uses the same pumps. I had to open it then figure out where is the pump and finally get the model
Thanks. You just saved me £200 buying a new Dualit coffee machine. The machine was making a loud noise and no water was coming through. Such a silly little spring stopping the whole machine working. A 5p spring stopping a £200 machine...
