Saeco is one of the long-established manufacturers of fully automatic coffee machines and has developed numerous different machine generations over many years. From older Vienna, Odea, Talea and Xsmall models through Syntia, Intelia, Intuita, Minuto, Moltio, Incanto and Exprelia to PicoBaristo, GranBaristo, Xelsis and GranAroma, the technology, equipment and individual assemblies differ considerably in some cases.
However, many of these fully automatic coffee machines have typical Saeco design features such as a removable brewing unit, integrated grinder, water pump, heating system and different valves within the fluid system.
A technical defect or normal wear therefore does not automatically mean that the complete fully automatic coffee machine has to be replaced. Depending on the machine generation and fault, individual components can be specifically checked, serviced or replaced.
At NEW-Kaffeevollautomaten you will find selected Saeco fully automatic coffee machine spare parts for different models and repair areas.
Depending on the machine, components from areas such as brewing unit, grinder, pump and fluid system, seals and O-rings, valves, hoses and connectors as well as further repair and wear parts may be relevant.
Determine the Saeco model number precisely
The exact model designation is particularly important with Saeco because very different machine platforms have been offered over many years.
Current Saeco fully automatic coffee machines often have model numbers from the SM range, for example SM65xx, SM66xx, SM75xx, SM76xx, SM87xx or SM88xx.
Older machines, on the other hand, often have product numbers beginning with HD or RI.
For current machines, Saeco states that the model number is located on the label inside the service door.
Before ordering a Saeco spare part, the complete machine designation should therefore be determined wherever possible.
Current Saeco Xelsis fully automatic coffee machines
The Saeco Xelsis is one of the brand's high-end fully automatic coffee machines.
The newer generation includes Xelsis Deluxe and Xelsis Suprema from the SM87xx and SM88xx families, among others.
There is also the previous Xelsis generation with machines from the SM75xx, SM76xx and SM77xx ranges.
The models feature extensive beverage programmes, electronic user profiles, an automatic milk system and a ceramic grinder.
Despite the extensive electronics, classic mechanical repair areas such as brewing unit, grinder, pump, valves and fluid system remain relevant.
Saeco GranAroma and GranAroma Deluxe
The GranAroma series is also part of the current Saeco range.
The machines include, for example, GranAroma models from the SM65xx range as well as GranAroma Deluxe from corresponding SM66xx generations.
Here Saeco combines a removable brewing unit with a 100% ceramic grinder, extensive coffee profiles and automatic milk functions.
For repairs, the complete model number should therefore always be used because GranAroma and GranAroma Deluxe can differ in equipment and individual components.
Saeco Xelsis 1.0 – earlier premium generation
Before Xelsis Deluxe and Suprema, a previous Xelsis generation was offered.
This includes, for example, models such as SM7580, SM7683, SM7785 and SM7786.
These machines already have extensive automatic coffee and milk functions and are technically different again from even older Xelsis models of the HD or RI generation.
Therefore, when searching for Saeco Xelsis spare parts, the name Xelsis alone should not be used.
Saeco PicoBaristo – many SM variants
The PicoBaristo series was also offered in several variants.
Well-known models include, for example, SM3061 as well as various SM54xx machines such as SM5460 or SM5470.
There is also the PicoBaristo Deluxe generation.
These machines likewise have removable brewing units and extensive automatic maintenance functions.
The specific model number is also decisive here because equipment and production variants may differ.
Saeco Incanto – particularly common in the repair sector
The Saeco Incanto is one of the brand's well-known and widely used fully automatic coffee machines.
Different Incanto generations were produced over the years, so the designation alone is not sufficient for spare-part allocation.
Typical repair areas include the brewing unit, grinder, pump, seals, valves and various parts of the water path.
For these machines too, depending on availability, you can find suitable products in our Saeco spare-parts category.
Saeco Intelia, Intuita and Minuto
Other widely used machine generations are Intelia, Intuita and Minuto.
These fully automatic machines come from a period in which Saeco offered numerous compact platforms with removable brewing unit and ceramic grinder.
However, differences may exist between the series in the milk system, valve technology, electronics and operation.
A spare part should therefore always be allocated on the basis of the specific HD, RI or other product number.
Saeco Moltio – special bean container
The Saeco Moltio has a special concept in which, depending on the machine version, the bean container or bean management was designed more flexibly.
Technically, the grinder, brewing unit and fluid system also work together here.
In the event of problems with coffee taste or grinding quantity, the grinder should therefore not be replaced immediately.
The bean supply, grind setting and brewing unit can also influence the result.
Saeco GranBaristo – compact premium technology
With the GranBaristo, Saeco developed a particularly compact and technically extensive generation of fully automatic coffee machines.
Various models and equipment variants also exist here.
Because of the compact design, spare parts should be selected particularly carefully on the basis of the specific product number.
A similar appearance to other Saeco components does not automatically mean technical compatibility.
Saeco Exprelia – high-end older machine generation
The Saeco Exprelia is one of the more highly equipped older fully automatic coffee machines.
Well-known variants were offered, for example, within the HD885x generation.
Many of these machines remain in use.
Especially with high-end older fully automatic coffee machines, targeted repair of individual Saeco wear and spare parts can be more attractive than completely replacing the machine.
Saeco Syntia and Xsmall
The more compact older Saeco fully automatic coffee machines include Syntia and Xsmall, among others.
The Xsmall series in particular was produced in numerous HD and RI versions.
The machines are comparatively compact in design but also have the typical functional groups comprising grinder, removable brewing unit, pump system and heater.
Exact model allocation is also important with these older machines.
Saeco Odea and Talea – well-known older platforms
Odea and Talea were further very well-known machine generations.
Many of these fully automatic coffee machines remain in use despite their age.
Repairs typically involve seals, brewing unit, grinder, pump and water-carrying components.
Age alone therefore does not indicate whether a repair is worthwhile.
Saeco Royal, Vienna and Magic
Even older names that are well known in professional or semi-professional environments are Royal, Vienna and Magic.
These machines differ considerably in design in some cases from modern Xelsis or GranAroma fully automatic machines.
Spare-part compatibility must therefore not be transferred from a current Saeco generation to older machines.
Especially with older fully automatic coffee machines, existing part and model numbers are particularly helpful for identification.
Saeco brewing unit – the heart of many machine generations
One of the best-known technical characteristics of Saeco fully automatic coffee machines is the removable brewing unit.
It performs the actual mechanical brewing process.
The freshly ground coffee is received and compressed. Hot water is then passed through the ground coffee and the used coffee grounds are subsequently ejected.
Pistons, guide rails, shaft and seals are mechanically stressed during every coffee preparation.
Clean the Saeco brewing unit regularly with water
Saeco recommends regular cleaning of its removable brewing units.
On numerous machines, the brewing unit should be removed from the switched-off fully automatic coffee machine approximately once a week and rinsed thoroughly with lukewarm water.
This removes loose coffee residues from the screen, mechanism and difficult-to-access areas.
After rinsing, the brewing unit should be allowed to air-dry before being reinserted.
Additionally remove coffee oils from the brewing unit
Rinsing with water removes loose coffee residues, but does not necessarily remove all coffee oils.
For suitable machines, Saeco additionally specifies regular cleaning of the brewing-unit filter or coffee circuit with a suitable coffee-oil remover.
For suitable applications, for example, we offer 100 Clean o Coffee cleaning tablets and coffee-oil remover tablets.
Use must comply with the respective machine and maintenance instructions.
Lubricating the Saeco brewing unit
For many removable brewing units, Saeco explicitly specifies regular lubrication.
Depending on the assembly, typical lubrication points include the piston, shaft in the lower area and the two side guide rails.
The grease is applied only in a thin layer.
Applying grease extensively over the complete brewing unit is neither necessary nor sensible.
Food-grade silicone grease for suitable Saeco brewing units
For corresponding maintenance and repair work, we offer our food-grade NEW-009 silicone grease in the 6 g aluminium tube.
The silicone grease is suitable for designated sealing and sliding points and is applied only in a thin layer.
The 6 g tube is particularly economical for individual maintenance operations.
The specific lubrication points depend on the respective Saeco brewing unit and its maintenance requirements.
100 g silicone grease for repair businesses
For workshops and users with regular maintenance requirements, our 100 g tube of food-grade silicone grease is additionally available.
It is particularly suitable for repairs regularly performed on fully automatic coffee machines from different manufacturers.
You can find further quantities and packaging sizes in our silicone grease category.
Saeco brewing unit cannot be removed
A brewing unit should never be pulled out of the machine by force.
Saeco states that a common cause is a brewing-unit mechanism that is not in its neutral home position.
In this case, the water tank, drip tray and grounds container should be inserted correctly, the service door closed and the fully automatic coffee machine switched off normally.
Only after all noises have stopped and the internal drive has reached its home position should another attempt be made to remove the brewing unit using the designated PUSH locking mechanism.
The brewing unit may be blocked during descaling
Another specific Saeco note concerns the descaling programme.
If the machine is still within an ongoing or not fully completed descaling process, the brewing unit cannot be removed on corresponding machines.
In this case, the descaling programme should first be completed fully.
Only afterwards should another attempt be made to remove the brewing unit.
Brewing unit cannot be inserted
When reinserting it, the brewing unit and internal drive must also be correctly positioned.
The assembly should never be forced into its mounting position.
The position of the mechanism and locking system should be checked in accordance with the respective operating instructions.
Forcing it into place can damage the brewing unit, drive or guide.
Stiff Saeco brewing unit
An increasingly stiff brewing unit can have several causes.
These include coffee residues, contaminated guide rails, dry designated lubrication points or mechanical wear.
The brewing unit should first be thoroughly cleaned with lukewarm water.
After drying, the points specified by Saeco can be lubricated with a thin layer of suitable food-grade silicone grease.
Saeco grinder – ceramic as a hallmark
Saeco has been known for ceramic grinders for many years.
In current Xelsis and GranAroma machines, Saeco uses a grinder made of 100% ceramic.
These current generations provide twelve grind settings.
Numerous older Saeco fully automatic machines also use ceramic grinding components, although design and grinding unit can differ depending on the machine generation.
Do not equate a ceramic grinder with every Saeco grinder
The description “Saeco ceramic grinder” is not sufficient to determine a spare part reliably.
Different grinding units, motors, gearboxes and adjustment mechanisms have been used across the many machine generations.
A grinder from an Xsmall or Incanto therefore does not have to be identical to the grinding unit of a PicoBaristo, Xelsis or GranAroma.
The specific Saeco grinder component should always be selected according to machine compatibility.
Grind setting influences brewing resistance
The grind setting determines the size of the coffee particles and therefore influences the resistance of the coffee puck.
Very finely ground coffee can slow the water flow. Very coarsely ground coffee, on the other hand, creates less resistance.
Coffee dispensing that is too slow or unusually fast therefore does not automatically indicate a defective grinder.
The grind setting should always be adjusted in accordance with the operating instructions for the respective Saeco model.
Watery coffee – several possible causes
Saeco itself lists several possible causes of watery or overly weak coffee.
These include a contaminated brewing unit, grind setting, machine settings or a blocked ground-coffee funnel.
On new or freshly set-up machines, an automatic adjustment phase of the brewing process may initially also play a role.
A Saeco grinder should therefore not be replaced solely because the coffee result is weaker.
Check the ground-coffee funnel
The ground coffee must reliably reach the brewing unit from the grinder.
Residues can accumulate over time in the designated funnel or ground-coffee channel.
A blockage can cause the grinder to operate while too little ground coffee reaches the brewing chamber.
With a fault pattern such as “grinder operates, coffee remains weak or no coffee is brewed”, this area should therefore also be checked.
Foreign objects in the Saeco grinder
A sudden hard cracking or blocking noise can indicate a foreign object in the grinder.
Small stones or other hard particles can enter the bean container together with the coffee beans.
The grinder should not be restarted repeatedly if such a noise occurs.
This could additionally damage the motor, ceramic grinder or further mechanical components.
Saeco water pump and fluid system
The water pump transports water from the tank through the fully automatic coffee machine.
It operates as part of a considerably larger fluid system.
Depending on the machine, this includes the water-tank connection, AquaClean filter, flow meter, pump, hoses, heating system, valves, brewing unit and beverage outlet.
A problem with only one of these components can affect the entire water delivery.
Saeco pump loud – check the water supply first
A vibration pump can operate considerably more loudly when it draws in air instead of water.
Saeco names, for example, an incorrectly inserted water tank or air trapped in the system as possible causes of unusual noises.
A blocked water path can also change the pump noise.
The Saeco water pump should therefore not be replaced solely because of its noise level.
Pump operates, but no water comes out
An audibly running pump only proves that its drive is operating.
The water path may still be interrupted elsewhere.
Possible causes include the water tank, filter, air in the system, flow meter, hoses, valves, heating system or limescale deposits.
The diagnosis should therefore follow the complete water path and not focus exclusively on the pump.
Air in the water system
After the water tank has run empty or work has been carried out on the fluid system, air may be present inside the lines.
The pump then often operates considerably more audibly than during normal operation.
Depending on the Saeco model, the system can be refilled using the designated hot-water function or the intended venting procedure.
The exact procedure should be carried out in accordance with the respective operating instructions.
Flow meter measures the delivered water quantity
A flow meter is located in the water path of many Saeco fully automatic coffee machines.
This component measures the water flow and provides the electronics with information about the amount of water actually delivered.
A fault in this area can therefore cause symptoms that initially appear to be a pump or dosing problem.
Before replacing a pump or another fluid component, the entire water path should be taken into account.
Seals and O-rings in Saeco machines
Numerous small seals are located inside a Saeco fully automatic coffee machine.
They are used, for example, on the brewing unit, pump, valves, hoses, heating system and plug-in connections.
O-rings differ not only in their dimensions but also in material and intended area of application.
A seal should therefore not be selected solely on the basis of its colour or approximate size.
A small seal can cause major water loss
A small damaged O-ring can be sufficient to allow water to escape from a connection.
In such a case, the complete adjacent pump, valve or hose assembly does not necessarily have to be replaced.
The actual sealing point should be checked first.
Damaged seals must be replaced. Silicone grease is not a sealing agent for a torn O-ring.
Saeco valves control different water paths
A fully automatic coffee machine must direct water to different areas depending on the selected beverage.
Different valves are used for this purpose.
Depending on the machine generation, they control the water path to the brewing unit, hot water, steam or milk system.
A blocked or incorrectly operating valve can therefore cause the pump to run while water does not appear at the intended outlet.
Heating system and temperature
For coffee, hot water and steam, water must be heated in a controlled manner inside the machine.
The heating system, temperature sensors, water flow and electronics work together for this purpose.
Coffee that is too cold therefore does not automatically mean that the complete heater is defective.
Temperature sensors, water flow, limescale deposits or machine settings can also play a role.
Saeco LattePerfetto and modern milk systems
Depending on the version, current Xelsis and GranAroma machines feature modern automatic milk systems.
For Xelsis and GranAroma, Saeco uses the designation LattePerfetto, among others.
The milk is processed through corresponding suction and frothing components.
Because milk contains protein and fat, all milk-carrying areas must be maintained particularly thoroughly.
HygieSteam on current Saeco models
On appropriately equipped Saeco fully automatic coffee machines, HygieSteam supports cleaning of the milk system.
The automatic programme treats the milk-carrying areas with hot steam.
Nevertheless, Saeco additionally recommends regular manual cleaning of the corresponding components.
An automatic rinsing function therefore does not necessarily replace all manual maintenance work.
Clean the milk system thoroughly and regularly
Depending on the milk system, Saeco recommends various daily, weekly and more intensive maintenance procedures.
Milk residues should not be allowed to dry because they are then considerably more difficult to remove.
For thorough cleaning of suitable milk-carrying components, we offer our Clean o Coffee milk-system cleaner 250 ml.
Before use, the requirements of the specific Saeco milk system and the product information should be taken into account.
Poor milk foam does not immediately mean a defect
If a Saeco fully automatic coffee machine no longer produces good milk foam, the complete milk system should first be checked.
Possible causes include milk residues, blocked air paths, milk hoses, Cappuccinatore or incorrectly assembled components.
The type of milk and milk temperature can also influence the foaming result.
Only once the system is clean and correctly assembled should a technical valve or fluid problem be investigated.
Saeco AquaClean water filter
Many newer Saeco fully automatic coffee machines support the AquaClean water filter.
The filter is located in the water tank and reduces the machine's limescale load when it is correctly activated and replaced in good time.
For suitable current machines, Saeco specifies long operating intervals before descaling becomes necessary, provided the filters are regularly replaced in accordance with the specifications.
However, an AquaClean filter does not replace cleaning of the brewing unit or milk system.
AquaClean can be relevant in the event of water problems
The water filter is part of the water path and creates a certain amount of flow resistance.
If the filter has not been correctly prepared, is incorrectly inserted or is exhausted, this can influence the water flow.
In the event of a suddenly loud pump or missing water delivery, the AquaClean filter should therefore also be checked.
A pump defect is not automatically the cause.
Descaling a Saeco fully automatic coffee machine
Even with high-quality technology, mineral deposits from the drinking water used can form inside the fluid system.
How quickly this occurs depends particularly on water hardness, consumption and filter use.
Saeco provides designated descaling programmes for the different machine generations.
The procedure for an Incanto can, for example, differ considerably from the descaling programme of an Xelsis Suprema or GranAroma.
Always complete the descaling programme fully
Once started, a descaling programme should not be interrupted unnecessarily.
As already described, on various Saeco machines the brewing unit cannot be removed while a descaling mode is still in progress.
Completing the full programme sequence is therefore also important for correctly resetting the machine.
The specific procedure depends on the respective Saeco model.
Do not confuse cleaning and descaling
Cleaning the coffee circuit primarily treats coffee oils and coffee fats.
Descaling, on the other hand, concerns mineral limescale deposits in the water system.
Both procedures require different suitable maintenance products.
You can find further products in our care products category for fully automatic coffee machines.
Typical fault: Saeco grinds, but no coffee comes out
If the grinder operates but little or no coffee is subsequently dispensed, several causes are possible.
Components to be checked include the brewing unit, ground-coffee funnel, grind setting and water delivery.
A contaminated brewing unit can impair the water flow through the ground coffee.
The grinder should therefore not be replaced solely because of this fault pattern.
Typical fault: Saeco coffee is watery
There are also several possible causes of watery coffee.
Saeco names, for example, a contaminated brewing unit, grind setting, machine settings and a blocked ground-coffee funnel.
On new machines, the system also initially needs several preparations to adapt the brewing process optimally.
A systematic check is therefore more appropriate than immediately replacing the grinder.
Typical fault: coffee only flows drop by drop
A very slow coffee flow can be caused, among other things, by coffee that is ground too finely.
Further possible causes include a contaminated brewing unit, restricted water paths, limescale deposits or problems with valves or the pump.
The grind setting, brewing unit and fluid system should therefore be considered together.
Typical fault: unusual noises
In the event of unusual noises, Saeco points out, among other things, that the brewing unit should be cleaned and lubricated.
Further possible causes may be air in the water system or an incorrectly inserted water tank.
A noise can therefore originate from completely different functional areas.
It is helpful to observe whether it occurs during grinding, movement of the brewing unit or water delivery.
Typical fault: brewing unit squeaks or operates stiffly
Mechanical noises from the brewing unit can be caused by contamination or dry designated sliding points.
Saeco therefore specifies both regular rinsing and lubrication of the piston, shaft and guide rails.
After thorough cleaning, our food-grade silicone grease can be applied in a thin layer to suitable points.
Typical fault: Saeco pump very loud
A suddenly loud pump can indicate air or restricted water supply.
The water tank, AquaClean filter, water path and possible blockages should be checked.
Air may initially also be present in the system after the water tank has run completely empty.
Only once the supply is functioning correctly should an actual pump defect be investigated more closely.
Typical fault: pump runs, but no water
In addition to the pump itself, numerous other components can block water delivery.
Possible causes include the filter, flow meter, valves, hoses, heating system or limescale.
Troubleshooting should therefore begin at the water tank and then follow the complete water path.
Typical fault: Saeco loses water
A leak can occur at various points.
Possible sources include the water-tank connection, pump, hoses, O-rings, valves, heating system or brewing unit.
It is particularly helpful to observe when the water escapes.
Water loss while the machine is idle may indicate a different fault area from a leak that occurs exclusively during brewing.
Typical fault: large amount of water in the drip tray
A certain amount of water in the drip tray is part of normal operation of a fully automatic coffee machine.
Rinsing and pressure-relief processes direct water there by design.
A significant change compared with previous behaviour is particularly noticeable.
If considerably less coffee reaches the cup at the same time, the brewing unit, seals, valves and other fluid components should be checked.
Typical fault: coffee pucks are very wet
Very wet coffee pucks or loose coffee grounds do not automatically indicate a technical defect.
The grind setting, coffee quantity and beverage setting influence the consistency of the ejected coffee grounds.
In the event of unusually significant changes, the cleanliness of the brewing unit should additionally be checked.
The water flow through the ground coffee can also influence the result.
Typical fault: no milk foam
In the event of milk-system problems, thorough cleaning should first be carried out.
Depending on the model, the milk container, milk hose, Cappuccinatore, air supply and connecting parts should be checked.
For suitable milk-carrying components, we offer our Clean o Coffee milk-system cleaner.
Only once the system is clean and correctly assembled should a technical fault be investigated.
Error codes on Saeco fully automatic coffee machines
Modern Saeco machines can display different error codes depending on the machine generation.
An error code initially indicates a particular functional area.
It does not necessarily mean that only one specific component can be the cause.
The error code should therefore always be evaluated using the operating or service information for the specific Saeco model.
Philips and Saeco – technical connection since 2009
Philips acquired Saeco in 2009 and integrated the Italian manufacturer's espresso technology into its domestic-appliance business.
Over the following years, this resulted in technical platforms and components where Philips and Saeco technology partially overlap.
There are design similarities particularly in the removable brewing unit, maintenance concept and various internal components.
However, this does not mean that every Philips spare part automatically fits a Saeco fully automatic coffee machine.
Do not generally equate Saeco and Philips brewing units
Even if different brewing units look very similar at first glance, different generations and versions can exist.
Changes can affect, for example, the connections, mechanism, seals or guide elements.
A purely visual comparison is therefore not sufficient for reliable spare-part identification.
The model number and specific product allocation remain decisive.
Do not order a spare part based only on the photo
Pumps, valves, hoses and seals often look very similar on fully automatic coffee machines.
Technically, however, differences may exist in dimensions, connections, material, electrical data or internal function.
A spare part should therefore be selected on the basis of the model number, any existing part number and specific machine compatibility.
You can find the currently available components in our Saeco spare-parts section.
Maintenance problem or technical defect?
Not every problem immediately requires a spare part.
A contaminated brewing unit, missing lubrication at designated points, a blocked ground-coffee funnel, air in the water system or limescale can cause symptoms that initially appear to be a technical defect.
Conversely, maintenance cannot repair a torn O-ring, a mechanically damaged pump or a defective valve.
Sensible troubleshooting therefore distinguishes between maintenance condition, settings and an actual component defect.
Repair instead of unnecessarily replacing complete assemblies
Diagnosis that is as precise as possible can prevent functioning assemblies from being replaced unnecessarily.
A leaking connection may only require a new O-ring.
A stiff brewing unit may first be cleaned and lubricated at the designated points.
Only in the event of actual mechanical wear should the corresponding Saeco spare part be replaced.
Continue repairing older Saeco fully automatic coffee machines
Machines such as Vienna, Odea, Talea, Syntia, Xsmall, Intelia, Incanto or Exprelia have in some cases been in use for many years.
Age alone does not determine whether a repair is worthwhile.
In the case of individual defects involving the brewing unit, seals, pump, valves or grinder, targeted repair can still be of interest.
The overall condition, specific cause of the fault and availability of the suitable spare part are decisive.
Consider current Xelsis and GranAroma separately from older machines
Today's Saeco fully automatic coffee machines have considerably more extensive electronics, modern milk systems and further-developed operating concepts.
Even though the removable brewing unit and ceramic grinder remain typical Saeco characteristics, older spare parts must not automatically be transferred.
An Xelsis Suprema from the SM88xx generation is technically not equivalent to an Incanto, Xsmall or older Xelsis.
The complete model number therefore has the highest priority.
Saeco spare parts for repair businesses
Because of the large number of older and newer Saeco fully automatic coffee machines, there is also a corresponding demand for spare parts in the professional repair sector.
Seals, maintenance products, silicone grease and care products are required particularly regularly.
For various products, we offer larger packaging units or special workshop quantities.
You can find these in our bulk discount category.
Silicone grease for workshops and service technicians
The removable brewing units that require regular maintenance make suitable lubricant particularly relevant for Saeco.
For individual maintenance operations, our 6 g tube of food-grade silicone grease is suitable.
For repair businesses with higher requirements, the 100 g tube of silicone grease is available.
Care products for professional maintenance
Cleaning coffee-carrying and milk-carrying components is also part of maintenance.
For suitable applications, for example, we offer 100 Clean o Coffee cleaning tablets and coffee-oil remover tablets as well as our Clean o Coffee milk-system cleaner.
You can find further professional packaging units in the bulk discount section.
Safety when repairing a Saeco fully automatic coffee machine
A fully automatic coffee machine operates with mains voltage, hot water, heating systems, moving mechanisms and in some cases pressurised lines.
Before opening the machine, it must be completely disconnected from the mains supply.
Hot components and water-carrying components should be allowed to cool sufficiently.
Work on electronics, mains voltage and safety-relevant assemblies should only be carried out by appropriately qualified persons.
How to find the correct Saeco spare part
1. Determine the exact model family
First check whether the machine is, for example, an Xelsis, GranAroma, PicoBaristo, Incanto, Intelia, Minuto, Moltio, Exprelia, Syntia, Xsmall, Odea, Talea or another Saeco machine generation.
2. Read the complete model number
Current machines often have an SM model number. Older machines use HD or RI numbers, among others. The complete model identification should be used when searching for spare parts.
3. Take the machine generation into account
A modern Xelsis Suprema differs technically considerably from older Xelsis, Incanto or Vienna machines.
4. Narrow down the fault area
Wherever possible, distinguish between problems involving the brewing unit, grinder, pump, fluid system, valves, heating system, milk system or electronics.
5. Check the maintenance condition
Check the brewing unit, lubrication, ground-coffee funnel, milk system and descaling condition before replacing a technical component on suspicion.
6. Compare the existing component
Part numbers, connections, dimensions and design characteristics of a removed component can help with identification.
7. Check specific article compatibility
A similar Philips or Saeco component is not automatically compatible. The specific machine allocation in the respective product description is decisive.
Frequently asked questions about Saeco fully automatic coffee machine spare parts
Which Saeco spare parts are available from NEW-Kaffeevollautomaten?
Depending on the machine, our currently available Saeco fully automatic coffee machine spare parts include different products from the areas of brewing unit, grinder, seals, pump and fluid system, valves as well as further repair areas.
Where can I find the Saeco model number?
According to the manufacturer, on current Saeco machines the model number is located on a label inside the service door. Newer models often use SM numbers, while older machines use HD or RI designations, among others.
Can the Saeco brewing unit be removed?
On typical Saeco fully automatic coffee machines, the brewing unit is removable for cleaning and maintenance.
How do you clean the Saeco brewing unit?
For numerous machines, Saeco recommends regularly removing the brewing unit from the switched-off fully automatic coffee machine and rinsing it thoroughly with lukewarm water.
How often should the Saeco brewing unit be cleaned?
In its current maintenance instructions, Saeco recommends weekly rinsing of the brewing unit. Depending on the machine, additional monthly maintenance of the brewing-unit filter may also be specified.
Does the Saeco brewing unit have to be greased?
Yes, for Saeco brewing units designed for this purpose, regular thin lubrication of certain mechanical points is specified. These typically include the piston, shaft and side guide rails.
Which silicone grease is suitable for appropriate Saeco brewing units?
For corresponding sealing and sliding points, we offer our food-grade NEW-009 silicone grease. It should be used sparingly and exclusively at suitable points.
Why can my Saeco brewing unit not be removed?
The internal brewing-unit gearbox is often not in its neutral position. The machine should be switched off completely and normally until no more noises can be heard. A descaling mode that is still running can also prevent removal.
Why can the Saeco brewing unit not be inserted?
The brewing unit and internal drive must be in the intended home position. The assembly should never be inserted by force.
Why does my Saeco brewing unit operate stiffly?
Possible causes include contamination, coffee residues, dry designated lubrication points or mechanical wear. Cleaning and correct lubrication should be checked first.
Which grinder does Saeco use?
Saeco is particularly known for ceramic grinders. Current Xelsis and GranAroma machines have grinders made of 100% ceramic with twelve adjustment stages. Older machines may use different grinding units.
Why is my Saeco coffee suddenly watery?
Possible causes include a contaminated brewing unit, grind setting, machine settings or a blocked ground-coffee funnel. A grinder defect is therefore only one of several possibilities.
Why does my Saeco coffee flow only very slowly?
A very fine grind setting can slow the water flow. In addition, contamination of the brewing unit, limescale or problems in the fluid system may be involved.
Why has the Saeco water pump suddenly become very loud?
In this case, the pump often does not receive sufficient water or there is air in the system. The water tank, filter and water path should therefore be checked first.
Why does my Saeco pump but no water comes out?
In addition to a pump defect, filters, flow meter, valves, hoses, limescale deposits or other blockages within the fluid system may be the cause.
Is water in the Saeco drip tray normal?
Yes. Rinsing and internal pressure-relief operations direct water into the drip tray by design. A technical check is particularly appropriate if the amount suddenly changes significantly.
Why is my Saeco fully automatic coffee machine losing water?
Possible causes include the water-tank connection, seals, hoses, pump, valves, heater or brewing unit. The actual leakage point should be located as precisely as possible.
Why does my Saeco make unusual noises?
In addition to a grinder problem, a contaminated or dry brewing unit, air in the water system or an incorrect water supply may be involved. The decisive factor is the operating phase in which the noise occurs.
How is the Saeco milk system cleaned?
Maintenance depends on the respective milk system. Modern machines can use HygieSteam, among other systems. Accessible components should additionally be cleaned in accordance with the instructions. For suitable applications, we offer our Clean o Coffee milk-system cleaner.
What is AquaClean on Saeco machines?
AquaClean is a water-filter system for compatible Saeco fully automatic coffee machines. With correct activation and regular filter replacement, it can influence the limescale load and therefore the descaling intervals.
Does a Saeco fully automatic coffee machine have to be descaled despite AquaClean?
If the machine requests descaling, the intended programme should be carried out. Filter activation, timely filter replacement and machine generation influence the maintenance intervals.
Are Saeco cleaning and descaling the same?
