Delonghi BCO430 Coffee and Espresso combination Leaking top of boiler steam wand line

[stromsmith]

Hello! I have purchased 2 orings to address a leak from top of boiler steam wand line. I recall removing the completely deteriorated red oring (part 221 or 85 referencing a diagram I found online), but cannot see where the clear oring (part 231 or 84) goes. And based on how the red oring is fitting, I likely have that in the wrong spot. Does anyone in this forum have experience changing these orings?

Thank you!

Looks like you can order a replacement upper boiler Here I'm attaching a photo that shows the upper and the o-rings.

Thanks @NJCoffeeTech! I should have thought of that myself! This unit has lots of age on it. I also replace pressure valve, filters, and one water line. I fully disassembled to inspect and clean everything. The espresso-side supply lines were very dirty. Onward I go with reassembly!

Good AM @NJCoffeeTech! It took me so long between disassembly / sourcing parts / and reassembly that I cannot recall where this blue wire belongs. This model appears to be slightly different than wiring pics / videos found on the web of more recent models. Any suggestions? Thanks!

@NJCoffeeTech, I am fairly sure the blue wire attaches to the blue lead on the pump. I found a not so great pic took during disassembly that has those 2 blue leads attached. Thanks!

Were you able to figure it out? I apologize for the delay I didn't get a notification that there was a reply.
