Brilliant. Thanks. Saved me buying a new machine - disassembled to clear a blockage. Wouldn’t have been confident enough to force some of the panels without your guidance.
thanks Michael. your video really helped i was able to replace the extractor head and now working again with no leak. a little tip when putting in the white pipe into new assembly you can use a small screwdriver to help it push in. Couldn't have fixed my machine without this video
Read the comments below before attempting. At 3:28 he removes a plug from the control board but the holder to the pcb board comes away with it (cannot seperate). You cannot just re-fix the plug then. It needs someone to re-solder the holder to the electrical board. Wish I had read the same comments before buying a new extractor head !
Thanks I bought a replacement extractor, and the hardest part of the job was getting the spout of the front of the old unit. I then found it was filthy with sticky coffee residue, which was probably the cause of the leak. The other hard part was inserting the tube, but a little bit of dilute washing up liquid, on the tip, provided just enough lubrication to enable me to click it back in place. It was really helpful to be made aware of the screw inside! Thanks
Thanks for taking the trouble to make this video. We were originally looking at replacing the machine but after watching this, I also replaced the extractor head and our machine is working fine again.
Thank you so much, replaced extraction head following your tutorial. Got stuck on inserting the hose, then just made a thin stick from the Chinese bamboo chopstick and pushed with it that metal thing (on the end of the hose) deeper into the position. Done!
Thank you Mike! Your video helped me a lot! I discovered that the nozzle was obstructed with dreg coffee! Now is working perfectly!! Tks I from Brazil!!!👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you for your video, we needed to replace our Extraction Head and your video was very helpful! My Nespresso is working well again and the coffee tastes better also.
Great video, thanks a lot! FWIW my front cover unsnaps from the bottom front, not the top back as you appeared to do. I am impressed with the machine, reasonably easy to work on!
Disconnect the hose in the other end located at the side of the machine, and pull it out together with the extractor. It is then MUCH easier to get the clip back later on. And as someone wrote, use something small like a paper clip to push it down when putting the clip back.
wow, what a PIA. I just blew compressed air through my nozzle and scrubbed with a tooth brush. Took a while and ran about 2 tanks of water through it but it's not leaking anymore and didn't have to take it apart.
Thanks, I’ve got the EN550.W updated and slightly different to this, main difference in disassembly is the clip on thePCB which is much harder to remove as it has two tiny brown plastic clips holding it on. Sadly my extraction head is leading from with in, it was actually very clean. The extraction head replacement, hard to get and seem to out of stock everywhere.
Hi Michael, I’m in safety Bay, my latissima is leaking water out of the top, is this the reason you have replaced the extraction head? I got part of the way through the dismantle with your video to help me and realised that I may have to replace the entire head too. I figured there may just be a loose or misaligned seal, but I can’t see one. Where did you purchase the part?
Anyone know where to get the rubber part (gasket) separately? All diagrams and sources online point to an o-ring, which it isn't - you can see in the video that it's a cylindrical object - Michael has it in his hand at 6:14 and talks about how the new kit came with a new seal - I don't need the kit - I just need the seal - mine is cracked. Tried to improvise with 2 SAECO o-rings - made things worse.
Hi guys! I have the same machine and sometimes I recieve a message saying "System Empty Repeat Delivery".I have this issue almost everyday and I can't make the coffe when I get this message in the screen.Any suggestions?
Dear, why were changing the piece? It was leaking clear hot water on the top of the extractor head? Was it broken? How did it break? My machine is leaking clean hot water on the top, between the extractor head and the gray cover, and I think the extractor could be the problem. Thanks.
Whatever you do, do not remove the plug with pliers like that the plug actually has tabs on each side that hold it in place. If you grab it with pliers you will rip the mount off of the board. This is why people are commenting “how do I put the plug back”.
do you perhaps know how to dissasemblle a GRAN LATTISSIMA? Its got no screws or anything so I assume its clips but so risky I might end up breaking it all off.
Michael, Thanks for great video, can you help me re locate the item 37 called renforcement, I cant find a place for it It came off from somewhere when I removed the assembly thanks Philip
Anyone have any tips on removing the front nozzle cover (the part Micheal talks about putting on at the 7 minute mark in the vid)? He kind of skips over that part - seems like there is 4 clips but if feels like it will snap pretty easily...
@@remylebeau4130 blinking hard to remove i levered off the side tabs and pulled from the bottom but was stuck at the top - so had to use a small flat screwdriver to pop it off
Thx for the video. Saved our machine last time. Now we replaced the extractor head again because we had water leaking in the bottom container. But the problem is not solved this time. Does anyone have a suggestion? It seams that the coffee making process is slower as if the machine struggles to pump water through the coffee capsule and sends some of the water down to the bottom container. Thx in advance! Best regards Mia
Thanks Michael for the video. I have read all the comments and I am now going to attempt this repair as mine is leaking water from the top badly and thorough multiple cleanings has the filter head area very clean and free flowing but still leaks out the top. I see ppl having these 3 issues: 1. Snapping off the electrical connector from the board 2. Removing the filter head 3. Ordering the part 2 and 3 I think are doable but 1 is concerning. Can you do the repair and leave the cable connected, or can you disconnect it more carefully as to no break off the connector from the board? Thanks!
Follow-up: I ordered part from buyspares.co.uk and did the repair. I avoided the electrical issues by not disconnecting the cable and instead swinging the top over to the side and taping it in place to stabilize it while I replaced the extraction head. Only issue was the “Coffee Outlet” plastic part does have to be snapped off in order to do this. With a little patience and a pair of small flat blade screwdrivers it can be pried off. It’s pretty strong. If you’re worried, order a spare, it’s only 3 bucks. It has a lip at the bottom that you have to bend the whole thing forward to pull it up and out (and reverse on reassembly). Overall, easy job that took about 30 minutes going slowly. One, last note, once all put back, the whole thing did NOT work. Unfortunately, I needed to descale so I had an orange light and two white lights but no buttons worked. Even with the descale pipe, no buttons worked. Research showed it may be that it needs to be primed. However, with a strong small magnet I was able to move it around the descale pipe entry area and trigger some discharge activity. Worked with it for a long time and gave up leaving it full of water plugged in all night. Today, everything is fine! Descaled and made a delicious latte. I’ve had the steam side modded to be a steam wand for a couple years now and that’s been the best thing ever. (Details if someone is interested).
4delonghi.co.uk It is called an 'Extractor Head' but today I can't see it on their site (either). I'm pretty sure I saw it was also for sale elsewhere on eBay. Good luck.
thank you for the quick reply. I took my machine apart like you demonstrated to clean it thoroughly but it is still leaking. I guess it is just worn out after 4 years of duty in a small office and not much love. Cheers
Hi. I detached it as you instructed. But when I tried to put pieces back I did not succeed. That electrical component that was detached using needle nose pliers was not fixed back in the place. What should I do to put it back properly?

Hey you need to reshoot this or add instructions on removing the plug I am plugged it in the horse soldered piece came off you need to be very careful as to how you pry it off to leave the bracket on the board now I have to get a soldering iron

This is a great video on how to break your machine. How many times he says “I think” and “should” ...SHOULD be warning one. Luckily I have a second machine, but this ones plug is now ruined. Just pull it out with your fingers indeed. Smh
Didn't like This. It takes you up the garden path and drops you at the gate.I need to take the filter head off. You don't do this, instead you poke at it with a screwdriver and then say 'End of video'. Then you tell everyone that the hose was the most difficult, but you don't show it

Thanks, that was very helpful. Coffee machine is working again 😃! Cheers from the other side of the world ☕️🇨🇭.
Alexandra Studer where did you purchase replacement part?
Thanks for the video. Just so people know, to remove the other side panel you need to remove the button panel first.
Disconnect the hose in the other end located at the side of the machine, and pull it out together with the extractor. It is then MUCH easier to get the clip back later on. And as someone wrote, use something small like a paper clip to push it down when putting the clip back.

Hello, how did you put back the plug after fixing the machine ? It looks like it needs a welding no ?
I had to superglue mine back, as the lugs didn’t hold. It’s not made to be taken off.
How did you get the little silver hook on water pipe, I’ve been trying for 3 days, thanking you so much

hey! first off thanks for the video! was your problem what they call an electrical problem?
How do you get the clip back on ours won't hold and now we have a machine that won't power up.
