I hope this video be useful for all of you.
You can find me in eBay: stores.ebay.com/miro1976

[@stigmariusranes-opdal2886]

Thank you so much - both for this video, the video where you show the disassembly of the entire machine - as well as the eBay store where you sold me the spare part for the coffee grinder. You are the man who enabled me to fix my coffee machine. I saved a lot of money thanks to you, and most important: I didn't have to throw away my coffee machine just because a small part broke

[@ghosteye15]

Sir, you just made me look like a hero to the wife. We have had an Odea Giro Plus for 10 years and the grinder just stopped working. I took it all apart watching your work, cleaned it up and put it back in and poof coffee every morning again for the wife. - Cheers.

[@ruthvongoeler219]

Thank you so much for this informative video. I felt emboldened to fix my broken grinder and we are back in business. I'm so grateful!

[@zsoltibitter8761]

I was playing with it for an hour and did not manage to find out how to place that plastic stuff on the grinder. I knew i have to take off the cogwheel but cound not find out how. Thank you so much, you are a blessing :) A piece was broken off the plastic part. And i have also found a lot of water scaling, insanr amount which was clogging it. Now its perfect again.

[@leungsims]

Thank you so much, Miroslav!! When I came across your video, you described exactly what happened to my second hand Odea Giro Plus. I bought the motor, and outlet conveyor you mentioned, and I was able to make the repair myself with your helpful video. You described each step very well, and thank goodness I didn't have any issue with the transistor you mentioned at the end (but I'll keep that in mind for the future). Thanks again for a great video!!!

[@rachelmccarthy8409]

Thank you so much for you video, we have a Saeco Talea Giro the descale and dredge drawer light were flashing alternatively red. Everything worked when you reset except for when you tried to grind the coffee. Watched your video cleaned all the parts, put it back together. Presto!!! All good, no parts needed just a good cleaning. You saved us for sure at least $200. Thanks you!!!!!!!

[@davidmaloney4860]

Thanks! These are very informative videos. My odea GO started having problems with grinding the beans. Would abort and eject dry puck. Took it apart and it was exactly as you said. Broken plastic outlet tube. Got one. Cleaned the motor and fortunately was able to get all of the ground coffee out. Back together and works like new again. Thanks again!

[@JAVI3141592]

Thanks so much, you're my hero! You helped me to save my Saeco. I thought I had lost it.

[@munloongyau241]

Thank you so much Miroslav. I am able to replace the broken part of the grinder holder (described at 7:58) accord to your instructions. The Saeco Service Centre in Singapore quoted me a few hundred dollars to repair whereas the broken part cost less than US$10/=. Cost aside, it saved me from throwing away a good coffee machine. You are a true hero!

[@giorgigogolishvili6792]

hi. Where did you bought this part?

[@aivkara]

Thank you Miroslav! I recently bought a second hand Taleo Ring for the equivalent of 2 Euro (wow!), not knowing if it worked or not. It worked great, but had one failure after a week. I opened it, and the sensor on the motor had become unplugged, easy fix. I am very glad that you are documenting fixes to these machines, I have subscribed! If I need a part, I will turn to you first.

[@ethelsimon2330]

Thank you so much for your videos ! You saved me 100+ $ ! Very informative and detail oriented ! I was able to fix it myself . I had it fixed before 3 times and I already spent 300 on it so I wasn't gonna take it in again . I figured if I can not fix it myself I will just trash it ! So you made me very very happy to be able to hide my espresso saeco odea machine again ! Thank you so much again !!

[@lolbox]

Many thanks for these instructions, the black grinder post had snapped inside and we were able to replace the part by following your video, our Saeco has been saved and so has our money 😀

[@SammyKeeton]

I have an Saeco S-Class Incanto Classic sup021ynr... i have had it for years without trouble. Last month it started freezing up when i was in just the grinding mode.... before the water prewet stage. I took it into our "certified repair place and spent over $120 for them to clean/decalcify and adjust the grinder." It came back worse off and will not work..... same issues. After watching your video I had enough information to clean and adjust the grinder ..... i already knew how to do everything else. The S-Class Classic grinder is exactly the same as the one you demonstrated. You are a wonderful teacher, details are very well understood. You are also wonderful for having put this video on youtube. I was lucky enough to find the "Service Manual" for the Incanto and the Incanto S-Class over 200 pages about how to. The manual helps but not as well as your video. I used the manual to help me disassemble the top and front of the machine and your video to show how to disassemble the grinder, clean it and assemble it again. thank you so much for your help.... i wish i had seen it sooner because it would have saved me lots of money.

[@MiesHeerma]

Thank you soo much, it turned out nothing really seemed to be broken but taking it apart like you showed cleaning it up and putting it back together made it work again ! So happy when I pressed the button and a perfect cup of coffee came out. We were about to buy a new machine... no need now. Thanks !

[@BATMA92]

Thank you Miroslav , i repaired my grinder and i habve replaced the pump by the new one on my Saeco 8944/01 after 8 years and 10000 expresso’s. The quality of Saeco coffe machine are very good , much better than my previous magimix and jura models. Thank you for your help.

[@michaelbudash2681]

I just used this video to replace my funnel on my Saeco Xelsis, saving me a $250-300 service visit. Thank You!!!!!

[@debvonr6786]

I know this is from 8 years ago now but it was extremely helpful. Thank you! My grinder motor was blown and I just want to note that the new 120V replacement motors are Black now not red. They are well marked for USA 120v so not to worry!

[@mijntjexantippe5811]

Thanks so much! I had exact this problem. Now I have to find out where I can buy this part. The coffee machine was in the basement for more than 2 years, because I didn't feel like paying a lot for a machine that might break down again. I was very disappointed, but now I have faith that it can be fixed. That I can fix it. :-)

[@proma311]

Thanks for the guide. Without this I would not have been able to fix my saeco. Now it is back working after replacing the doser and grinder motor!

[@user-gm3zf7hr7d]

You are great. Thank you so much for the video. A small rock was mixed in with the beans. The rock jammed the grinding surfaces and sheared the plastic wheel that holds the grinding surfaces. After watching your video I knew what was wrong and was able to disassemble it easily. Thank you again so much.

[@bivanov74]

Мирослав,благодарности за видеото! Все още не съм разглобил машината си,но погледнах да видя дали има нещо,което да ми бъде в помощ. Още веднъж,благодаря!

[@zowie8888able]

Thanks so much for this! You saved me a lot of time, and I wouldn't have even noticed the broken part

[@xoxo2008oxox]

Got the parts today, replaced the motor and the feed chute as you mentioned and all back and better tasting espresso ever! Who knew all this time that chute/funnel part failed and there was 13 years of grinds packed in, and yep...in the motor. Thanks!

[@emilsparre-ulrich7872]

Thanks, my grinder knives were broken. Your video helped me a lot

[@TheCJSanders]

Aaaaahhhhhh! I'm so happy, I just fixed my Philips 3200 Espresso Machine with the help of this video!! We actually did have the upgraded/reinforced grounds chute and it was broken, so not sure how long it will last, but I'm excited to find out instead of buying a new machine! Thank you!!

[@hanskuykens719]

Thank you for sharing this video. With your help I was able to replace the grinder motor. Much appreciated.

[@panditreuvers]

Thank you for this video, My Saeco works again. Nothing broken, but it wonky needed a good clean.

[@trvr]

Thank you Miroslav - this was extremely helpful!

[@klebelenator]

Excellent instructions. Helped me replace my burrs. Thank you.

[@ppminkov]

Миро, ти си най-добрия, току що оправих машината си благодарение на твоя клип. Беше паднало парче пластмаса в кафето. Miroslav is my hero as well. You save my old but good Saeco, it makes really good coffee now. Excellent, keep doing those awesome videos.

[@diamantfiets2006]

Thank you very much for the video. I am managed to restore the machine thanks to your video. Great Job !

[@pjsmith6954]

You are the greatest!!! thank you so much for this and your other videos. so much more satisfying to repair than replace my machine.

[@R73CH]

Thank you very much for the tutorial and for the tip with the resistor. I would never find out that this resistor has to be replaced.

[@razzraziel]

Thank you, this is one of the greatest repair videos on youtube.

[@anstegan]

Miroslav, thank you very much for this instructions! Very helpfull.. My saeco is alive :)

[@MidwestWinter]

Thank you so much for posting this! Really helped me a lot.

[@kiiiciii]

Very thorough instructions. Love it. Thank you, maistore!

[@simcouderc8098]

Thank you for showing me how to open the grinder, you're a hero ! :D

[@pop7750]

This is really helpful. My machine can work again.

[@Denizciization]

Thanks a lot for the video and explanations, it was quite useful and support me to fix the problem with my coffee machine

[@Bachfanz]

Thanks for uploading this, it was very helpful 👍. I was able to quickly repair the coffee machine from our friends.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Very helpful. I just wanted to clean my burrs, so this was a good tutorial. Thanks.

[@EvangelicalVoice]

Спасибо! Видео пригодилось. Ремонтировал кофемолку в Gaggia Accademia - они абсолютно идентичны

[@ENVISIONINGCENTRE]

In my SAECO Idea Giro Plus grinder stopped working. I got to the motor thanks to Miroslav's instructions. Inspected it carefully and noticed that the end of the spring conductor between contact and brush was broken off on the contact side, enough to not make contact but to look as if nothing was wrong... Before replacing motor check those two spring conductors.

[@user-fp4ym6oh8j]

Мирослав, большое спасибо! Полезное видео. Очень помогло!

[@skd]

If the grinder is a lot louder than what it was when I bought it, what part is damaged?

[@saabnico]

Thanks so much for this video! I just saved my Saeco Syntia, the grinder had been clogged up, i received no beans icon and the machine dumped the coffee.

[@franciscojgameroescobar7430]

thank you very much for your video. I found it interesting to know how the brand would grinder . thanks

[@alexandermukarev4414]

Благодаря, успях да се справя сам благодарение на видеото!

[@jeanpierrelicata9998]

Très bonnes explications pour ce problème que j' ai rencontré. Bravo

[@user-wx7gl8jp1f]

Very Big THANKS. You really saved me.

[@BBoyXy]

Thank you very much for showing how to open the grinder❤

[@ChristophePRINCE]

Hello! I could repair my grinder on saeco HD8911! Thanks a lot for this video! You are the Boss!

[@jimsteinhauer5510]

Thanks for an excellent video!

[@fartexfartex8706]

Thanks to you for tour tuto, i have repared my saeco odea go !

[@tabakrubleber9903]

Exactly what I am looking for!!!

[@francoischagnon9198]

Thanks a ton from montreal. Really clear

[@leeball3990]

repaired and working good as new! Thanks!!

[@tutorage]

Thank you! I think at 7:50 or so you identified my exact problem. I broke the ceramic grind wheel, replaced, but the motor still whirring and no movement. Further disassembled and the shaft of that plastic piece is broken exactly as you show. I hope I can finally finish this repair.

[@JamesHome]

This comment made me realize what was wrong with my machine. How often is a KZbin comment amazingly helpful? Thank you James and Miroslav!

[@kirillm712]

Where did you buy new part? What part number is?

[@tutorage]

@@kirillm712 I haven't replaced. I am still looking.

[@jumperjeff]

Thanks for the helpful video!

[@paulemile7923]

thank you very helpfull! doh you know how to calibrate the space between the two ceramic grinder ?

[@ruipereira3292]

Excelente parabéns pelo vídeo muito ilucidativo e simples.minha máquina avariou hoje.

[@alfredomaceratesi3200]

Thank you, very useful and clear. 😊

[@pelocheprod]

thanks to you I have a new coffee machine now, :o)

[@georgikarabelov265]

Not sure if my motor is burned or not. When you put an Ohm meter on the two terminals is it supposed to show a reading. Mine does not read anything. When measured between the motor body and each terminal there is no short as well. Thank you all for the support. Miro, you are the man. Great video

[@arthursoria9870]

Todo muy bien explicado y buena image.Ha sido de ayuda, lo he arreglado! Gracias. La maldita pieza (rampa) se rompe cada año del lado izquierdo! Todo estaba llena de café en el interior ... Ahora molienda se thick.Graduating molino, hay algo de truco para esto no sucede cada vez que limpie el molino? Gracias de nuevo.

[@roostergermany71]

many Thank´s form Germany :)

[@boschgj]

Thank you for this helpfull video. My Saeco Odea regularly dumps the freshly ground coffee in the waste bin, going in error mode without pumping water/making coffee. By opening the machine I had exactly the problem as showed in your video, so I ordered the spare part and installed it. My question is: could this broken part explain the behaviour as described, or should I look further for another problem? Because the above did not happen with every cup of coffee I made, I am still not sure if the problem is solved.Thank you in advance!

[@bleak0218]

Hi! What kind of lubricate do You recommend for Motorshaft and plastic wheel?

[@jonathanjayes]

Miroslav! I love your videos and they're incredibly helpful, I would like to know if you can make a video that shows how to re-adhere the water sensor to the plastic wall behind the water tank. It seems that mine has fallen off. The solid red light is on, and the machine will not work. Thanks

[@hernanmartinez1591]

Thanks a lot for this great video. Could you tell me the position will the knob (throttle) grinding when the top plastic grinder is in place? (green mark)

[@britsinsf]

Thank you, a very clear and useful video. I dismantled and reassembled the grinder following your instructions but I still get error code 1 on my Saeco Espresso Italiano (SUP035DR) which I believe means there's a grinder fault or the coffee chute is blocked (I cannot find the codes for this model). The coffee chute was broken, just as in your video, so I will replace it with one from Philips and see if it works after that.

[@MrDdm343]

you're the man!

[@DRodile]

Hello and thank you for this great video! I have a senseo sarista who is actually the model before the saeco. she just let go .... she takes the grains but it looks like the grinder does not turn ... So I disassembled everything and cleaned. So I changed the gear and today the sensor but the concern is always the same ... do you think it is the engine? my machine to 5 years only ... thank you!

[@mygalkin]

Miroslav, could you please make a video showing how to take apart a Saeco Odea Go Plus from the fully assembled state. I have a problem with a grinder but am afraid to break the machine taking off the exterior panels. Thank you!

[@alessandromeucci4234]

grazie!! molto utile !!!

[@bobyboy585]

great video !!! thank you !!!

[@auntyfifi1]

Great video thank you ! I have done all of this and put the machine back together. All appeared OK until I tried to make a coffee and I the error symbol of dregdrawer and descaling light clashing alternatively. I tried the troubleshooting for this form the manual but did not fix. Also the 3rd opti dose button lights up on its own. Any ideas of what I need to do please ???

[@ciortescuion]

This is really helpful. Thankyou !

[@guhacdc]

man, what happend with your machine before?

[@gamiwv]

EXCELLENT. Thank you

[@helenepineaud1146]

thank you very much!

[@lorenzogori9864]

Thanks so much ,video very good for help me.

[@guskal1975]

Great Videos Miroslav they are very helpfull for all of us who are Saeco Owners. I have a Saeco Odea Go for about 6 years now and lately have started to make more waterish coffee than before. I have the impression that although I have put the giro to the smallest quantity of water, the coffee that it makes has more quantity than in the past. Do you have any clue? Thank you in advance

[@richardtremblay7646]

Ok my problem is fixed. Thanks for your helpful video. You saved the planet caused I was to throw the machine in the garbage

[@bertrandverger4291]

Merci pour l'astuce.

[@emiliegaltie6225]

thanks a lot for your very instructive movie

[@fcmeral]

Hi Miroslav, Thank you for these very informative videos. I watched your video and cleaned my grinder the way you showed. I made three cups of coffee to test my success. However when I turned on the coffee machine the next morning and pressed the button to make my morning coffee there was the same error code on display, wrench #1. Any idea what might be the problem? Because it worked beautifully after cleaning and putting it back together.

[@xcimo1]

Thanks a lot. This machine has great repairability! Why buy a new one when you can fix it yourself.

[@rudischolten5971]

Thank you so much. I had hard time to take the grinder apart. Once I had it completely disassembled, I found a piece of wood in the grinder. This blocked it from turning. So after assembling everything, still her error code 1. Probably the engine is broken. To be continued.

[@keesdebruin4780]

Hi Miroslav Do you also have a video of how to replace the motor for the brew group?

[@user-of9yg8fq2l]

Thank you so much)))

[@Swazoeloe]

Hi, I used this video to fix the grinder problems a few years ago. So thanks for the help! I have now an issue with water that is leaking from the water thank side. Any tips ? And is there a way to change the tubes ? My machine is 12 years old and I'm afraid that there are fungi in the tubes. I clean it with the usual tablets etc... but want to change them to be sure. Tx for the help!

[@mikebasile9550]

Great video. I have a Saeco Odea that will cut out part way through the grinding cycle with all of the lights going out. If I open any of the doors I can get the lights to come back on and the machine will work perfectly again for a while. I opened my machine up and found that I had the same problem with a broken grinder chute so I replaced the entire grinder unit but still have the same issue as before. Any ideas on what might be the cause. Thanks in advance, Mike

[@CarlosMendoza-xf2hp]

Thank you so much. I will try to repair my xsmall.

[@inexmoonpatrol]

Thank you!

[@mathieuviau7328]

Hi! Thanks for your video! What is the white electronic part written ROYAL? I don't have 120V coming out of the board.

[@user-vk7vm9eo1e]

hello. what is the name of the element that u say in the video that need to be replaced?

[@chadf1sh]

Hey man, thank you for these informative videos, you truly are a legend, but I must ask for advice with SaecoLirika, I have a problem with Error code 1, and I know all of the minor fixes to it, for instance, rotating the grindscrew, cleaning the funnel, Yet non of them worked longer than 1 coffee cup... So then I decided to completeyl dissasemble the grinder and clean out all the coffe that was stuck there, yet after that, It still proceeds with error code 1 after a few coffe cups, I am starting to lose hope for my machine

[@en2oh]

very helpful. I suspect it's applicable to all of the Saeco Systems. Thanks for sharing this! NB: for the record, these machines seem to last a long, long time. Our Syntia was purchased in 2010! Did you remove/test the Hall Sensor? Is yes, how did it come out? :)

[@haakster210379SE]

Thanks, now I can replace my outlet and fix my coffeemachine!
