This is a 3-way solenoid valve from Olab - 9000 series for Lelit ane more.
Regular machine descaling will prevent this from getting blocked.
You may need this part if:
- No water is coming from the group - the solenoid valve could be blocked with lime or debris.
- Water is constantly dripping from the group when steaming the milk.
- If the machine is not descaled every 3-4 months
Replacing the valve: - Allow 15-30 min
Make sure that the machine is plugged out 1st
You will need Teflon tape and spanners to replace this.
- Remove silicon tube and ss nut
- Slide off the electro valve - (Take note of where the wires go if removing the wires)
- Remove both nuts holding the elbow fittings.
- Finally, remove the old solenoid valve.
- Remove the elbow fittings from the old valve
- Insert new elbow fittings with Teflon tape
- Put everything back and check for leaks
When fitting this solenoid valve - take note of the arrow - it should be pointing away from the boiler. See your old one, if you reverse the valve my mistake - it won't work and you will have redo it.
(This is almost the same as the other Ascaso solenoid i.1057 except the outlet pipe is slightly narrower.)
