How to disassemble and clean the dispenser on Saeco Intelia

The video shows you how to open your coffee machine and clean it.

Thanks so much for sharing. What I learned: 1. You can remove front cover without taking out that part that you broke by rotating the milk tube and carefully rotating the cover. 2. Be careful not to lose the right door upper magnet 3. To remove the lid of the dispenser it is easier to slide the group up letting it loose, remove clip and hose and then remove lid.

Thanks for the clear disassembly instructions. I would love a reassembly video also. I have a lot more trouble reassembling then disassembling the thing.

Thank you very much for theese interesting videos. Please could you tell me how to change the water level sensor ? When I turn on the Saeco Intelia Evo, it tells to add water, but the tank is already full...

Thanks guy, you've been very helpful over years of coffee drinking.

[@ronHBishop]

Thank you, I used your guidance to repair my son's machine.

[@mariocestra1156]

It worked for me after your instructional video. Thank you

[@SkyeWelse]

Thank you very much! With your video I was able to fix the flow of the coffee dispenser. thank you very much for the help and tutorial!

[@lunhil12]

Love these videos. I replaced the pump on my Intelia for $35, a $300 job in a shop. I should have cleaned this part when I had it all apart.

[@SHARONTIPITY]

We’ve used this video multiple time in repairing our Intelia... thanks so much 🙏🏼 It’s be really helpful and a huge money saver

[@CarloBocchiardo]

Thank you Milen! Very interesting and well explained!

Thanks man, you saved our coffee machine! A part of the cleaning material broke of in the coffee dispenser. So there was no other way than to open it and remove it. Though our machine is a Saeco Intuita with a round button in the middle, it follows the same steps. So we were able to take the machine apart, open the coffee dispenser and remove the broken cleaning material and clean the dispenser. Putting it back together again was a still bit of a challenge as I had to play your video in reverse order to avoid having leftover screws in the end. :-) It's worth mentioning as well that one needs a 10' Stift screw driver (6 pointed star format). We needed to go to the store first :-)

Thank you very much. I managed to clean the coffee dispenser, thanks to your video.

Hello & thanks for your tutorial, I have a Saeco Intelia HD8752 about 11 years old with the following issue: If the unit hasn’t been used for a few hours or the power plug is unplugged and plugged back in again, upon power-up, the automatic rinse cycle starts as it should: You can hear the pump groaning, sounds like it is blocked. This automatic start up rinse is either very slow with little intermittent hot drips taking many minutes for the cycle to complete - which then leads to normal use. OR No automatic start up rinse drips and therefore the process fails entering into ‘prime mode’ which also fails & leads to an unusable ‘maintenance spanner symbol’ code 5. The only way to bypass this is to unplug and re-plug in the power plug, power-up the unit, then as it tries to perform the automatic rinse cycle, manually press the STOP option to bypass the automatic rinse and then the machine can be used as normal & makes great coffee. Note: The above symptom’s got worse after I performed a de-scale cycle, which failed at the end with of the final rinse / prime - but fully worked up until that final point. Maybe there is lime scale lodged in one of the following places: 1. Boiler 2. Solenoid valve 3. Steam & water regulator Note: This is strange because it is 100% possible to run the manual rinse cycle as per the instructions: Press the ‘pre-ground’ coffee button (with no coffee in it), then press the coffee / memo button and it does a big hot rinse no problems at all. Also, after use, when the unit is powered off, it performs a small rinse cycle with continuous hot running water coming out the dispenser, but only for a very short time. I have totally re-built the brewing unit per various KZbin demonstrations with new stainless steel plunger screen + plunger o-ring, disassembled & blasted out all the tiny holes in the plastic plunger, made sure all the elbows and holes are clear and clean, installed the valve spring and glass ball correctly, greased all the o-rings, sliders and pivots. I have also fully taken apart the dispenser locater under the LCD display, disconnected the tube that connects to the brew unit, blasted water + compressed air through it so that it is 100% clear. Fully internally cleaned out the dispenser unit. I have calibrated the coffee grinding unit. The other issue I have is that that GREEN does not work on the LCD display - however I can still faintly see the LCD instructions - enough to get by. I haven’t run the LCD display diagnostics because that is too difficult to see / follow. But it seem like the pump + grinder & heater all work. I have disconnected & reconnected the LCD & checked the other wires, but can’t see any damage. Years ago the green would flicker on every now and then, but dead these days..

It is helpful indeed esp for diy enthusiasts who lives at remote areas without access to tech support

[@indyjones83]

Thank you! Nicely done, fast and completely exhaustive!

[@mayradurans6953]

Thank you so much!! you really helped my husband to fix our coffee machine!

[@hminkema]

Thanks a lot! One and a half hour work, easy does it, and my machine is working again! Take a beer from me! :-)

[@CarloBocchiardo]

Hi Milen, I have a question for you. Would it be the same procedure for the SAECO Intuita model? Thanks.

[@stevethornhill4144]

Hi, thank for the great video, I have a leak on the back side of the spout unit runs down the machine to the drip tray when I run a coffee. Would it be the oring you remove towards the end of your video at time 5:55? Would you have a part number for the o-ring? I have had trouble finding a parts diagram my exact machine is HD8753. Thanks again and a great help video.

[@kadu1834]

Friend, I have the same machine, hot water is coming out of the coffee tank, what could be happening? Did it lock the front hose of the tip?

[@corvidcee]

Thanks Milan, absolute legend for making this.

[@SuperTarek15]

[@mohsenhantout8086]

[@veljacvetkovic]

Hello Milen, You make great and very useful videos. I have one question: My coffe is weak, even I set grinder to fine, in settings I choose "tree beans". The disposal cake is small and soft and stay stick on brew unit. How to set bigger amount of grinding coffe? Also I set small amount of water for making coffe. Thanks.

[@sergeypetrov613]

Thank you so much, very helpful 🎉

[@diegofainguersch]

Thanks so much. It s extremely helpful. However i have still the problem i was trying to solve. COFFE JUST WON T COME OUT FROM THE DISPENSER. JUST A FEW DROPS...any advise? Many many thanks.!

[@LoesVillerius]

You can try to clean the brewgroup: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnjQl6F9g8R9h6M

[@masterkoker]

The interior pipes from the brew unit to the dispenser unit is propably blocked with fat from the coffee beans. You need to use degreasing tablets.

[@jvgs920]

Thank you for an excellent video

[@followyouaround]

thanks for the video - could you show us also how to clean the steam pipe/wand? hot water through this wand tastes very strange, i think the wand needs to be cleaned but not sure how.. thank you

[@DylanFahey]

When you 'clean' and cycle it with descaler, the stream of hot water runs through the wand. If that's not good enough, a tobacco pipe cleaner strand will work.

[@zeldaah]

Hello! Thanks for this helpful video! While following these directions, I had to turn the machine upside down because I dropped a screw. In doing so, a large spring fell out and I can’t identify where it came from. Does anyone have a parts schematic? Help!

[@loisparis2202]

How do you re attach the split pin on the front assembly, I am having real problems with it

[@ЖеняПетров-ч2м]

Thank you! I'll try do it for my Saeco Intuita.

On minute 4 just remove the two screws fron the steam handle.... much easier then much pressure on the button which you broke !
