Internal High-Pressure O-Ring Service Kit
The most frequent cause of internal leaking is the degradation of silicone O-rings located at the thermoblock and solenoid valve junctions. Constant thermal expansion and contraction cause the elastomer to take a permanent 'set,' losing its ability to seal against the high-pressure water flow (up to 15 bar). Replacing these seals restores the integrity of the hydraulic circuit and prevents water from pooling at the base.

Group Head Collar Assembly
Units produced in recent years suffer from a manufacturing flaw where the group head collar screws loosen due to vibration because no threadlocker was applied. This creates a gap between the dispersion plate and the boiler outlet, allowing water to escape internally and migrate to the bottom of the machine. Replacing or properly securing this assembly with the correct torque and adhesive is a primary resolution for model-specific pattern failures.

3-Way Solenoid Valve Elbow Connector
The plastic 90-degree elbow fittings are a known structural weak point in the pressurized water path. The combination of heat from the adjacent boiler and the mechanical shock of the solenoid firing causes the polymer to develop micro-fractures. Once fractured, water sprays internally and accumulates at the lowest point of the machine's housing.
