Why is my new delonghi icona espresso machine steam tube leaking water when I'm not using it, only making espresso.

It sounds like there may be a blockage or pressure build-up in the frother or in the steam wand of your DeLonghi Icona Vintage coffee maker, which is causing steam to escape from the unscrew button and blow the fuse. Here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:

1. Clean the frother and steam wand: The blockage may be caused by a build-up of milk or other debris in the frother or steam wand. Try cleaning them thoroughly with hot water and a cleaning solution designed for espresso machines.
2. Descale the machine: If the blockage is caused by mineral build-up, descaling the machine may help to remove it. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for descaling your specific model.
3. Check the pressure release valve: There may be a problem with the pressure release valve, which is causing steam to escape from the unscrew button. Check the valve and make sure it is not blocked or damaged.
4. Contact DeLonghi customer service: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it may be a problem with the machine's internal components. Contact DeLonghi customer service or a qualified repair technician for further assistance.

It's important to be careful when working with steam and hot water, so make sure to follow all safety instructions and precautions when attempting to troubleshoot or repair your coffee maker.

to me the pipe is blocked there is a tool to use to clean this pipe out, hard deposits in the water can block the steam pipe and the tool is a thin bendy wire that you put up the pipe to clean the pipe line out. i would think they sell this pipe in most out lets for coffee makers. check for coffee steam pipe cleaner.

Have you ever wondered, 'how do I descale my expresso machine?' First lets us understand what is exactly is scaling. The build up of minerals inside the hot parts of your coffee machine or espresso machine is commonly called lime scale. When lime scale builds up inside the Espresso machine, it slows down the water flow, reduces the boiler capacity and can prevent your coffee machine from working properly. To keep your Espresso machine operational at full order, it is important to descale it every three months. The time intervals between descaling depend upon many factors. Quality of your water and the amount of water running through the machine are the two main factors that decide the frequency at which you should descale your Espresso machine. The more you your machine, more often should you descale it. In some cities, in conjunction with a water filter you can use your coffee machine for a year or more without descaling at all. If you use less water by drinking espressos you'll need to descale less often than if you make cappuccinos.


Descaling products are widely available from stores that sell coffeemakers and espresso machines. Be sure that the product you buy to descale your Espresso machine is intended for this specific use only. Before you descale your Espresso machine, always unplug it and make sure that it is cold. Also, never immerse the appliance in water and nor should you use abrasive cleaning products or scouring materials on any part of your Expresso machine. In case your Espresso machine does not come with a instruction guide or booklet, then use a proper citric acid based descaling solution designed for espresso machines. This should be mixed and prepared as per the instructions on the bottle or packet. Once your Espresso machine has been descaled properly you would not be left wondering, 'how do I descale my expresso machine?', treat yourself to a great cup of coffee. Some popular models of Espresso machines are Krups EA8080 Espresseria Automatic, DeLonghi Magnifica EAM3200S, Krups Nespresso CitiZ & Milk XN 7106 Fire-engine red, DeLonghi Perfecta ESAM5400, DeLonghi PrimaDonna ESAM6600, DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM4200S, DeLonghi Perfecta ESAM5500 and Magimix Nespresso Citiz M190.



HOPE THIS HELPS. MIKE (MR BEAN MAN) FROM FIXYA

Try to turn the bean grind to about 6 but make sure to adjust when grinding. You might need a new o-ring on your steam control valve. Mine does this too.

use cold low fat milk and keep the milk container in the frig.
Make certain that when washing water come out of both holes.

You need to contact Delonghi and order a part. This is the steam/water outlet assembly. This part includes an electronic solenoid which controls the water and steam output. I have had this problem 3 times. You may find the steam/ water is very loose when you try to wobble it sideways. This is the indication as to what is the problem, (as mentioned above).
