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!!
Excellent video. However, it seems impossible to actually find the individual replacement parts. I guess your best bet is to try to find a used pump and salvage parts? The small ball seems to be the issue on my end, but that's likely worn on most used pumps, therefore I'll have to buy new anyway.
I get water but only for a bit and it stops. if i don't have coffee pushed into the portafilter all the water comes out no problem. So it's definitely water pressure. So i expect it's either the internal spring, internal ball or most probably the small O-ring. I will also check the mushroom like valve with the smaller spring first. Thank you. I tried descaling twice and it didn't fix the problem. I wonder where I can order parts for this. It is a Delongi Dedica that i have used an incredible amount over a 5+ year period.
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!
Hi Milen, Great videos. I have saeco royal professional and in display is ventilate which should be faulty pump but I checked with 240V directly on each pump and they work ok, when I measure voltage to the pump from pcb I only get 80V. Any suggestions for which components on pcb might be faulty? Thanks Oskar
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
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.
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. 👍😊
Hello, thanks for you video. I have a coffee maker with low pressure. Firstly I clean all lines with (vinagre), secondly clear air 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
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 😂🔥👌
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. :)
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! 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!
I have a problem with my Saeco Odea Go overheating, it emits steam from the brew head not water when dispensing. Eventually the boiler sensor/thermo switches will trip shutting off power to the boiler. Do you have a video of what I can look for or a direct contact where I can email you?
apologies if this is a silly question but can I test an ulka NME type 3 (120V-60hz, 16W) pump by plugging a cable into a 110V wall outlet and connecting the leads to the motor? Is that a valid test?
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...
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. 👍
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!
Hello Friend. I have seen your videos, the videos are great and clear to understand. Thank you very much for the investment in the information you give us customers. I would like to ask, if it is allowed to change the water pump to a more powerful pump in the Saco Royal coffee machine? There is an existing 48 watt pump, and I am thinking of changing to a 64 watt pump. I ordered a 48 watt pump from Ali Express and it doesn't have enough power... Maybe I have another mistake. I will ask for your opinion.. Thank you very much. With regards and admiration, Herzl
Thanks for this detailed information! I have an '80's vintage Gaggia Coffee machine that is not pumping although the pump makes a loud noise when it is powered up. I will use this video to trouble-shoot the pump.
Anybody now how to energize 24V 48W ulka pump with PWM DC 24V? I tried to make with mosfet but burns always. I tried to connect directly to a transformer 24VAC but don´t work, anybody have an idea? I need help to work with this pump
Nice video! Thank's for sharing all this informations. It's very helpful. I have Lavazza EP Mini coffee machine, but there is an EP4GW in it which does not have this little ball valve, there is a plastic piece inserted to the hole. It's making some strange noise during operation and in the same time the coffee flow drops. Do you have any idea? Can the rubber sealing cause this problem? It's a pretty new machine, only 9 months old.
I have a Delonghi ECP 35.31 and the problem is water not coming out from diffuser but after I took out diffuser and valve spring, the water runs through. The steamer works fine, plenty of pressure and I had service my water pump follow from your video instruction but still no luck.. should I change new water pump? Thanks! th-cam.com/video/BHgX8QeQlcg/w-d-xo.html
Hey Milen, THANKS man for detailed description and instructions. I am bit confused, where did the second ball (the smaller one) come from, I disassembled mine and do not have the second ball.. Know this video is old, but you might get this comment... Blagodarim...
For the EC685 do you think i could replace the cema-ulka with regular ulka? Do they have any huge difference other than original sticker in the box? Also what symptoms did you have when pump was faulty? Dripping water from group head and low pressure in steam and brew?
Hello, great video. Please which ULKA pump i can use for syrup in cold unit. EP8 or different? Please help me. I have vending machine Zanussi Zenith with damage syrup from Fluidotech.
Milen, thank you for all of these videos. I have a Gaggia Synchrony. Sometimes it brews, sometimes it doesn't. I always get steam or water from the steam wand. Sometimes I go to brew a cup of coffee, it grinds the coffee, pump comes on for a second or two, then you only hear a quiet hum for about 10 seconds then it quits and the red light starts flashing. Think it's my pump?
Great video, very helpful. Do you know if ULKA makes a pump that is compatible with Jura machines. So for example, similar to the Sysko HP4. 120v. Thanks!
Milen, I replaced the pump on my Delonghi Magnifica 3300 and it worked great for months, now it suddenly made usual noises, different noises. I replaced the pump a second time and the problem persisted and no coffee come out. Any ideas what could be wrong?
we came from Europe (where the outlet is 220 V) to the US (where the outlet is 120 V) and i was wondering if i change the water pump will the saeco coffee machine work properly?
so, the bigger one is 240 volts not 120, but both 40 watts. so you can swap them out if you want more power ? replace the smaller with the larger as long as hoses line up?
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
Hi Milen Quick question, between the EP5 and EP5GW, the EP5 is More noisier? Can the EP5GW pump be put in a machine which uses the EP5 pump to make it a little quieter? Thanks!
Excellent video. After my 15-month-old Miele DGC 6765 steam oven gave an F10 error, Reddit or Houzz sent me to this video. Inside the Miele's very similar vibratory pump, model ARS MPP2.02.041.3/ST/S 208-240V, I found a broken .25"x.75" spring which I was able to replace with a stainless steel spring from amazon in a 400pc variety pack for $16. Problem solved thank you. Much better and quicker than the extortionate price Miele would charge to repair my just-out-of-warranty and very-expensive-to-begin-with oven. Now I'll be ready if and when it happens again.
Hallo! I have an espresso machine, delonghi primadonna s, with ulka pump model E. sometimes it freezes when it needs power, at the cappuccino, I saw. I open it, the ball is not small, everything seems ok, I put it back and it works. when it is blocked it makes a small noise .... what can it be?
My coffee machine uses an Eaton brand vibration pump, model CP3A, 230V 65W. The machine has not been used for years and, when I activate the pump switch when the machine is hot and ready to pump, there is no vibration or noise at all. Any suggestions for home repair? Could it be that the pump piston is seized, or that some triggering circuit on the boiler is not activating the secondary wires into the pump. The pump ON switch tested OK for continuity with my multimeter. I'd rather repair it myself, and save on the cost of a new pump. Ian, Australia
Ian Hill. Typically most standard pumps are relatively cheap, unless your machine uses customized pump, then you will have to order it from the machine supplier. For me, I would rather replace the pump so that it can last longer
Also found the video excellent - I have a steam cleaner with the same pump. Now! when I looked for 2days under the heading " VAX steam cleaner pump" - nothing. Then when I looked for "coffee machine pump" dozens of suppliers. My test meter shows dead electrical circuit so I £15 for a new unit complete is OK.
I have an old Lattissima Touch - EN550R - that has stopped producing steam as no heat occurs to suck the milk from the plastic tube of the rcs container. I can still make an espresso but not a cappuccino! Looking at your brilliant videos, I think it might be a pump issue or the solenoid perhaps? I just get the two buttons permanently flashing on the right. Descaling works ok but water always comes out cold on the right side of the machine. A technician would know which part needed replacing.... I would love to engage in a tech chat with you Milen, but this is my only current way of reaching you! Can anyone advise me what part might need replacing? I would be grateful for any help, thank you.
Hi problem can be electrical or mechanical or a combination of both. If it is electric, check the heating element, the soienoid, thermal sensors or some cable. Mechanical problems are most often a clogged folded hose or tube or a seal that is worn.

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...
Hi, thanks for this vid. I have similar problem... Pump is working , and water flows when there is no coffee in bell. But when you want to make a coffee , it acts like there is no pressure, I get just drops of coffee out..... Any suggestions?
Wow thank you so much for the explanation and the tips.. I have a 120V 60Hz pump that I removed from a Fog Machine. If I find similar models they are like 20 dollars.. but If I buy it from the dj company the price is $112 dollars.. haha let me clean the pump and hopefully it will work again.
Very good video. I have a problem with my pentavap ex2 but in my case the pump is ok and the steam boiler is damaged, but I cannot find one online... do you have an idea where I can find it? Thank you in advance.
mine was pumping but with very low pressure, I took it apart but there is NO SMALL BALL?? Also the plastic X thing does not unscrew or pull out, it is the same Ulka Italian pump but with plastic instead of brass, everything else looks good, springs and rubbers are like new.
Hi,I had problem removing the plastic x thing you mention but it does screw out eventually.You can just push it back in.When you screw the L shape brass piece back it keeps in and hopefully the pressure does push it through the machine
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
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.
Hi, Milen Stoitsev, have you try to measure the two pins of the water pump if there's a resistance using a multimeter? I want to know if a good water pump has resistance or not? Because one of my steam iron doesn't have a resistance, and no water comes out.
why my coffee machine delonghi magenta ESAM 3200 grind coffee but it does not flow what a defect it may be I made 2-3 cleanings and it worked but the coffee does not come in the cup after it is ground it has the water pump identical to the one in the video
Where can I get parts for the bronze discharge of the EX5. I have two pumps that I can't remove the white plastic retainer from. I have to destroy the retainer to get it out. Great video with excellent information. 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!!
What's the diameter of the ball? And what material? PTFE?
I wish there would be more people explaining things like you. Thanks for taking the time!
absolutely great video I've ever watch better than any other teacher or book
Excellent video. However, it seems impossible to actually find the individual replacement parts. I guess your best bet is to try to find a used pump and salvage parts? The small ball seems to be the issue on my end, but that's likely worn on most used pumps, therefore I'll have to buy new anyway.
Spare parts can be found on eBay
Excellent video, very helpful. Thanks a bunch!
A seven year old video that's informative, detailed and still relevant. Nicely done, sir!
I get water but only for a bit and it stops. if i don't have coffee pushed into the portafilter all the water comes out no problem. So it's definitely water pressure. So i expect it's either the internal spring, internal ball or most probably the small O-ring. I will also check the mushroom like valve with the smaller spring first. Thank you. I tried descaling twice and it didn't fix the problem. I wonder where I can order parts for this. It is a Delongi Dedica that i have used an incredible amount over a 5+ year period.
I love how your english is not perfect, but yet you manage to explain this SO much better than any engineer ive met, thank you for this
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 for the video. I'm enjoying a nice espresso because of your informative video!!!
Hi Milen,
Great videos.
I have saeco royal professional and in display is ventilate which should be faulty pump but I checked with 240V directly on each pump and they work ok, when I measure voltage to the pump from pcb I only get 80V. Any suggestions for which components on pcb might be faulty?
Thanks Oskar
Great video!!! thanks for your pump class!
Thanks! This helped me repair a steam generator clothes iron!
This was helpfull. Thank You.
Thanks!! - Just like your example, the smaller spring in the pump is broken - any idea where i can get one - everything else seems normal.
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
Thank you 'brat'. Great video. Pozdrav do vas.
Thank you for the great explanation - I was able to bring my Saeco Intelia back to life!
Wishing you all the best!
I fucking love TH-cam! Thanks to your video I fixed my Philips Saeco Xsmall espresso machine for the price of a new hose clamp! Thank you!
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.
Thank you, Milen. This is one of the most helpful espresso-machine-related clips on TH-cam. Very clear presentation, lots of useful information.
Great video! I opened mine up today and the spring was indeed broken (as in your demo). Any idea what type of spring I would need to replace it?
Very useful, I repair my pump! Thanks a lot!
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. 👍😊
Where find the ball? Thanks
Ebay
Hello, thanks for you video. I have a coffee maker with low pressure. Firstly I clean all lines with (vinagre), secondly clear air 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
Very nice video. Thank you. I disassembled and put back together my pump and now is working perfectly :)
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 😂🔥👌
Awesome video, thank you!
Много, много ценно видео и подробна информация! Късмет!
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. :)
Thanks for making this video, after disassembling and reassembling the water pump, I got an old carpet cleaner going again :)
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 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.
Nice video, but unless you have replacements for the balls, washers or springs, you still just have a broken pump.
Still, nice to know what's going on in there.
You can buy spare parts on Ebay for this pump. But the pump is very cheap, it costs 15 €. So ist is only for enviroment saving when you repair it.
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! You saved me the replacement cost of a pump. Back flow valve (mushroom valve) was stuck. Awesome Dude!
I have a problem with my Saeco Odea Go overheating, it emits steam from the brew head not water when dispensing.
Eventually the boiler sensor/thermo switches will trip shutting off power to the boiler. Do you have a video of what I can look for or a direct contact where I can email you?
HI! Many Thanks! Very helpful video!
apologies if this is a silly question but can I test an ulka NME type 3 (120V-60hz, 16W) pump by plugging a cable into a 110V wall outlet and connecting the leads to the motor? Is that a valid test?
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...

I almost threw my espresso machine out! Tore it apart wondering how to check the pump out! Thank you so much for this video which was very helpful.
I took my pump apart. You know what was the problem? The small glass ball got too small and was stuck. Just like you explained! Thank you!
Thanks, one less water pump in the dumpster. I was just going to buy a new one as I did not think that could be repaired.
Thank you for your explanation! Very nice video!
Thank you Milen! I enjoyed learning about these pumps!
Thank you very much. Pump repaired.
The CEME E410 in my Bosch coffee maker has lasted for 11 years. A new pump is close to the price of new appliance so RIP ULKA
Thank you for this helpful Video !

Does this also apply to the ULKA pump for a Delonghi dehumidifier? (model NME Type 3).
thank's Milen !
Thank you for your video which is well explained. As soon as I have repaired my coffee machine , I will drink a coffee to your health.
so, the bigger one is 240 volts not 120, but both 40 watts. so you can swap them out if you want more power ? replace the smaller with the larger as long as hoses line up?

Thanks so much for sharing! Great to learn about the ULKA water pump. Very informative!
Hi Milen
Quick question, between the EP5 and EP5GW, the EP5 is More noisier?
Can the EP5GW pump be put in a machine which uses the EP5 pump to make it a little quieter?
Thanks!
Hi bro, What is the difference between 1/1 and 2/1?
Hi there, do you know why the springs inside gets rusty? Wrong descaling liquid?
after 3 years, i finally got my coffee machine to work. Thank you soo much
Excellent video. After my 15-month-old Miele DGC 6765 steam oven gave an F10 error, Reddit or Houzz sent me to this video. Inside the Miele's very similar vibratory pump, model ARS MPP2.02.041.3/ST/S 208-240V, I found a broken .25"x.75" spring which I was able to replace with a stainless steel spring from amazon in a 400pc variety pack for $16. Problem solved thank you. Much better and quicker than the extortionate price Miele would charge to repair my just-out-of-warranty and very-expensive-to-begin-with oven. Now I'll be ready if and when it happens again.
amazing dude, it was exactly my problem!. thanks! Now i have two coffemakers. Because i thought it's lost.
Thank you sooooo much! I fixed my espresso machine using your video!
fixed in my case it was the mushroom was stuck, thanks mate fabulous
Hallo! I have an espresso machine, delonghi primadonna s, with ulka pump model E. sometimes it freezes when it needs power, at the cappuccino, I saw. I open it, the ball is not small, everything seems ok, I put it back and it works. when it is blocked it makes a small noise .... what can it be?
Thanks for posting this; I'm going to try to fix my coffee machine now instead of throwing it in the garbage.
Nice video/explanation.
Well done.
My coffee machine uses an Eaton brand vibration pump, model CP3A, 230V 65W. The machine has not been used for years and, when I activate the pump switch when the machine is hot and ready to pump, there is no vibration or noise at all. Any suggestions for home repair?

Hi problem can be electrical or mechanical or a combination of both.
If it is electric, check the heating element, the soienoid, thermal sensors or some cable. Mechanical problems are most often a clogged folded hose or tube or a seal that is worn.

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...
Hi, thanks for this vid. I have similar problem... Pump is working , and water flows when there is no coffee in bell. But when you want to make a coffee , it acts like there is no pressure, I get just drops of coffee out..... Any suggestions?
Super Super Helpful and Useful. Thanks a lot man!
Wow thank you so much for the explanation and the tips.. I have a 120V 60Hz pump that I removed from a Fog Machine. If I find similar models they are like 20 dollars.. but If I buy it from the dj company the price is $112 dollars.. haha let me clean the pump and hopefully it will work again.
Very good video.
I have a problem with my pentavap ex2 but in my case the pump is ok and the steam boiler is damaged, but I cannot find one online... do you have an idea where I can find it?
Thank you in advance.
mine was pumping but with very low pressure, I took it apart but there is NO SMALL BALL?? Also the plastic X thing does not unscrew or pull out, it is the same Ulka Italian pump but with plastic instead of brass, everything else looks good, springs and rubbers are like new.
Hi,I had problem removing the plastic x thing you mention but it does screw out eventually.You can just push it back in.When you screw the L shape brass piece back it keeps in and hopefully the pressure does push it through the machine
So very informative, thank you Sir! You are awesome!
Hi excellent videos. Can you tell me which is the difference in ULKA pumps in Type EP5FM/SP and Type EX5 ?? . Thank you
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
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.
Super, Merci. J'ai finalement trouvé qqn qui parlait encore plus mal anglais que moi ! 😉
Very helpful video. Thank you.
if the pump dont have any noise what could be the problem?
Hi, Milen Stoitsev, have you try to measure the two pins of the water pump if there's a resistance using a multimeter?
I want to know if a good water pump has resistance or not? Because one of my steam iron doesn't have a resistance, and no water comes out.
Watch this video th-cam.com/video/GiboQpj0r8Q/w-d-xo.html
why my coffee machine delonghi magenta ESAM 3200
grind coffee but it does not flow
what a defect it may be
I made 2-3 cleanings and it worked
but the coffee does not come in the cup after it is ground
it has the water pump identical to the one in the video
Where can I get parts for the bronze discharge of the EX5. I have two pumps that I can't remove the white plastic retainer from. I have to destroy the retainer to get it out. Great video with excellent information. Thank you!@
