Repairs & Parts

Some fixes go beyond cleaning – a torn group gasket, a tired pump, a solenoid that clicks but won’t open. This section is the hands-on repair bench: step-by-step part replacements you can genuinely do at home with basic tools, plus honest notes on the jobs worth handing to a pro. We cover the parts that fail most often on home machines – gaskets, shower screens, O-rings, pumps, thermoblocks, pressurestats and steam valves – with guidance on sourcing the right component and testing your work before you trust it with nine bars of pressure. Each guide flags the safety steps that matter around mains power and hot water, because a cheap part is only a bargain if you fit it without hurting yourself or the machine.
