| |
| − |
| |
| − | |lever_leak_instr = A blowout of the lever assembly can be seen on p.12 of the machine's parts diagram. The o-rings that will need to be checked are listed as part 7 and part 14, and the valve assembly listed as part 12.
| |
| − | ###To access these o-rings remove the end cap of the lever assembly using a flathead screwdriver.
| |
| − | ###Once this is removed the other components of the grouphead assembly can begin to be slipped off. The bolts that the lever slides into can be removed with open ended wrenches or an adjustable wrench.
| |
| − | ###Inspect the o-rings and make sure they are not damaged. It's possible that they are just dirty and need to be cleaned off and reseated. If they are damaged, broken, or shows signs of chaffing then they will need to be replaced.
| |
| − | ###Inspect the valve components as well to make sure they are intact.
| |
| − | ###Reassemble the components and see if leaking is resolved.
| |
| − | |top_valve_leak_instr = A blowout of the top valve assembly, known as the mushroom or trumpet valve, can be found on p.12 of the machine's parts diagram. There are a few components which can be contributing to the leaking. There are two o-rings, listed as parts 2, 6, and 10 on this page of the diagram. There is also a valve assembly shown as part 9 on the same page.
| |
| − | ###To access these parts use an open ended wrench or adjustable wrench to remove the smaller top bolt of the E-61. This will give you access to the first o-ring and spring assembly.
| |
| − | ###To access further down into this part of the grouphead use a wrench to remove the large bolt. This will let you access the other o-ring, another spring assembly, and the other valve assembly.
| |
| − | ###Inspect all of these components for integrity. Clean any dirty parts and replace any broken parts.
| |
| − | ###Reassemble the grouphead and see if the leaking is resolved.
| |
| − | |bottom_valve_leak_instr = A blowout of the bottom valve assembly, known as the release valve, can be found on p.12 of the machine's parts diagram. There are two o-rings in this assembly, listed as parts 7 and 31 on the diagram, and two valve assemblies, listed as parts 25 and 28 on the diagram, that can be causing the leak.
| |
| − | ###To access these parts use an open ended wrench or adjustable wrench to remove the smaller bottom bolt. You will be able to access part 31, the o-ring, and part 28, one of the valve assemblies. Inspect the parts. If they are dirty clean them off, if they are broken replace them.
| |
| − | ###To access the next o-ring and valve assembly use a wrench to remove the larger of the bolts. Again, inspect the parts for cleanliness and damage. Clean or replace as needed.
| |
| − | ###Reassemble the release valve and test to see if the leaking is resolved.
| |
| − | |E61_group_cleaning_instr = Instructions for cleaning the entire E-61 can be found by clicking [http://coffeetimex.wikidot.com/e61-group-servicing here].
| |
| − | |E61_attach_instr = There are two possible reasons for the machine to be leaking from here.
| |
| − | ##The first is that one of the plumb lines connected to the back of the E-61 is not secure resulting in a leak. This will need to be tightened from the inside of the machine. You may see leaking from the bottom of the machine as well if this is the case. Remove the top of the machine and look towards the front of the machine. These lines will be located on the back of the faceplate, opposite to where the grouphead is seated. They are listed as parts 1 and 9 on p.6 of the machine's parts diagram. Use an open ended wrench or adjustable wrench to tighten these down. If the leaking persists you may need to apply white teflon plumbers tape or a sealing compound such as food safe permabond.
| |
| − | ##The other possibility is that the E-61 group chassis gasket is not sealing tightly, or is worn out or damaged and will need to be replaced. The chassis gasket is listed as part 10 on p.12 of the parts diagram. There are two bolts which secure the E-61 to the machine chassis, causing it to press on the gasket and create a seal. First try tightening these two bolts down. The bolt assembly is listed as part 11 on p. 12 of the diagram. If tightening these bolts does not resolve the leak, then the chassis gasket will need to be replaced.

The metal steam tip or hot water tips can be soaked in a solution of hot water and backflushing powder for more effective cleaning.
| |
| − | |ball_joint_instr = <br />
| |
| − | ##These instructions apply to both the steam and hot water wands. First remove the wand arm. This can be done by unscrewing the hex shaped nut at the top of the arm using an adjustable or open-ended wrench.
| |
| − | ##Once the wand is removed you may have parts stick to the valve assembly. Do not lose these parts. A blowout of both wand assemblies can seen on p.8 of the parts diagram.
| |
| − | ##There are a few different o-rings in this assembly. Make sure everything is clean and that the o-ring aren't damaged or broken.
| |
| − | ##Inspect the tension spring, listed as part 7 on p.8, to make sure it is in good condition. The spring should be really firm. If it is easily compressed then it may need to be replaced. The bottom of the spring will have a metal gasket, which helps the wand pivot on the spring Make sure these parts are clean and reinstall them.

| |
| − | #First, only connect and disconnect the PID while the machine is powered off.
| |
| − | #Make sure the connector is firmly attached to the machine. The three dashes will appear if the PID is powered, but data isn't transmitting. This is typically because the connector is only partially attached.
| |
| − | #If the previous steps did not resolve the behavior then there may be a loose cord inside the machine. Unplug the machine and [[#Removing The Case|remove the case]]. Once the case is removed check the connection from the PID module to the control board.
