Rancilio Silvia heating element replacement. 

I can't imagine how difficult it is to not only fit a new element, but film yourself doing so. Nice video!!! 👍

thank you so much for being so thorough...you somewhat named the parts as you unscrewed or unplugged them. I heard you say "this was to a thermostat with a little button, an overheat protection...or something to that effect. As I was mapping the unit before I took it apart I saw the little red button...popped out. Push done problem solved. It was an old unit, assumed it was the coil. Most importantly I get coffee tomorrow not a week from tomorrow. Cheers to you

Thanks for your video, helped me to replace the heater of my Silvia. Now its running great again. Little trick to get rid of the water in the boiler before the disassembly, use a long injection needle and a syringe or a feeding tube to suck out the water. Makes the hole process a lot drier :-) Greetings from Germany.

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I was successful with replacing the boiler!

Lovely video, sir. I just used it to disassemble/clean the boiler after descaling for the first time in 5 years, possibly as much as 10! What a mess, as dirty as yours was clean. Yet it works and is dry. Thanks for the fine camera work & narration.🎉

This video helped me out alot! Just did a replacement on mine and the element had rusted through. I'd recommend getting a new-o-ring though when doing this replacement if anyone's thinking about it.

And he makes cappuccino art as well, what a guy.

Great video! Explains everything very well. Take lots of photos with your phone. This helps me remember how to put it back.

Thanks mate, very useful.

I was told by two different machine repair shops that my exact same machine (2013 Silvia) needs the entire boiler kit 260.00 U.S. dollars to fix my problem and they would do 8t for a price of 350.00, which seemed high considering I bought it for 600.00, but seems like I can just buy and replace the coil heating element according video. It was blowing the gfi as you said.

You dont need to sandpaper the boiler. its the rubber seal that does all the sealing. If water makes it past the seal its gonna leak thru the brass. Also always hold your fill tube to pump up vertically and fill hose with water then turn on pump, it will run dry for few seconds the way you did it. 🧐👍

Thank you for your hardwork! Working like new! :)

Great help - Thanks!

Very helpful. Spanner size info would be a nice addition.

Need to do this to my Silvia. Trouble is its quite old and the Hex bolts holding the boiler are well and truly rusted in to place. have tried heating them and WD40 but they aint budging 🤔

Hi Avia, great vid! Could you kindly provide the diameter of the copper steam pipe connected to the boiler ? I am in process of buying parts for my Silvia. Cheers

Yay, it's fixed. Baristas back in da house!

Hi, i bought an old MissSilvia, first clean and pourge it pourge blue water... but after flushing a couple of water tank, water flows clean. The problem is that I found again a blue spot, where water drops from steam wand.. Can be a problem with heating element? Thanks

is the heating element Aluminum? or Steel?

Hello, great video! I really appreciate you. How much is the heating element?

How do you remove the mesh pipe from the OPV valve to the pump? I'm struggling

How can I ship my machine to be fixed by you
