STEAM PUMP EM6910 EM6910R

"Remove outer casing probably the hardest part and then simply unplug rubber tubes and replace unit."

"Replaced steam pump"

"Switch off machine. remove water compartment. remove rear door screw at bottom. remove rear plastic panel and side panel.remove pcb. remove and replace pump. work in reverse. takes 30 minutes. note leave the original mounting in place if still intact."

"Very simple follow advise on coffeesnobs.com.au site. hardest thing is undoing the various screws holding the casing without stripping the heads."

"Remove covers remove steam pump. fit new pump and refit covers."

"Tip for steam pump. ensure hoses do not kink when fitting as the repair agent did under warranty. having the correct torx screw driver to remove the screw holding the side onto the machine."

"The top of the steam pump body has a threaded connector with a seat for the seal. this seat lip is too weak and splits causing water to get into the pumps windings shorting it out. it would help if they sealed the pump housing to stop any water getting in."

"My steam thermoblock had completely blocked and was unable to clean it out. a new thermoblock and steam pump for good measure fixed the issue."

"Remove side cover, disconnect 2 spade connectors from pump coil red and blue wires, cut ty-wraps from clearwhite flexible hoses, slide off hoses from pump, undo rigid line at top of pump, pull pump out of rubber mounts - can be difficult - dont tear mount rubber. reverse for installation."

"My shower collar was fractured due to 5 years of use. changing the shower head is a complete strip of the machine - everything has to come out for this repair. the case is very difficult to take apart as some of the screws are hidden took a few hours and you must take most of the copper fittings off to get the thermo block out to get to the shower collar. a skilled hand is required - if you are not that technical do not try this. i also changed the steam pump - this is not too hard to do but take care of the silicon tube as it is very brittle = i found putting masking tape over my pliers ends stopped the tube being clamp cut and gave me plenty of pressure to get the stubborn pipe on. finally my machines back up and running."
