    • Unplug!

    • Remove all attachments like water tank, brewing unit etc.

    • The pictures show a Royal Cappucino One Touch HD8930, but the opening procedure is similar to all models.

    Um „nur“ das Supportventil auszutauschen gibt es noch eine sehr viel einfachere Vorgehensweise. Dabei setzt man an das untere Ende des Supportventils einfach mit einem 7er Gabelschlüssel an und schraubt dieses raus. Bei einigen Modellen wie der Spidem Trevi Chiara gibt es zusätzlich eine Plastikfront um das Ventil, welche sich abhebeln lässt um noch besser an das Ventil zu kommen. Gleichzeitig kann man dann auch am oberen Ende einen 17er Ringschlüssel ansetzen.

    • The coffeebean supply is fixed with two screws. Unscrew them and lift it off.

    • There is a black rubber lid under the bean hopper that you can easily lift off, leaving a large opening.

    • The adjuster of the grinder has to be solved. Mark the position or just take a picture. This type is fixed with a screw, others are only sticked together.

    I have a Saeco Royal SUP016R model. Just cleaned the brew unit and a 1cm rubber seal fell off and i have no idea where it came from. Now there is some leak on top of the brew unit and the coffee ratio is off. Can you please help?

    • Now the cover can be raised: first grip on left and right rear side and lift about 10 cm (4 in). Sometimes the cover jams a little bit.

    • Solve the hoses which lead to the water tank. Perhaps you have to pull out some contacts, (e.g. the yellow-green protection lead), don´t forget to put them on again later.

    • The cover can be drawn aslant towards the front, sliding it over the hot water pipe.

    • Most repairs can be done with the cover being laid up partially , it must not be completely removed.

Conclusion

To assemble the Saeco follow the steps in reverse order.

I had a flow error, i thought was bad pump, which turned out to be a blown diode on the power board. I replaced with a larger diode (3 amp rectifying diode from Frys NTE5809), don’t un-solder the old diode, just solder the new one to the old after cleaning the bits from the leads. The 3 amp diode leads are larger diameter then the stock 1 amp diode and will not fit in the holes in the board.

There are two boards in this espresso maker, one is the power board, the other with the CPU board (it has the front panel buttons). I suggest you do not remove the CPU board, as it is easy to tear the ribbon cable to the display.

The cables to the boards can’t be mixed up when reconnecting as Saeco used different connectors for all the connection points.
