    • The bottom is secured by oval head screws.

    • These screws have an oval head that makes them look like rivets (picture 2). You need to use a special bit - also available at iFixit - for their removal. Here a DIY guide. If the right bit is not available, it could be done with a pair of needle nose pliers. Nespresso wants to keep us out of our own machines!!!

    • Remove five oval head screws securing the large bottom panel.

    • Note: this panel is smaller on models without milk frother.

    • The bottom panel is just snapped into place. Insert a metal spudger into the slots and lift the panel out. It sits quite tightly and you might use some force to get it out.

    • The two colored side panels are only snapped into place. However, the latches sit very tight. You really need a lot of force. First lift the lower edge using a plastic opening tool.

    • Depending from the model it might help, when you first pry off the coffee spout. (See next step)

    • Unfold each of the side panels upwards and remove them.

Wie geht es weiter um an die Heizung zu kommen? Vermutlich ist eine Reperatur nicht möglich.
