DeLonghi Magnifica is leaking water from the bottom whenever I make a cup

The machine is 8 years old. All of a sudden whenever I push the button to make a cup of coffee about half the water leaks out the bottom of the machine.

I just fixed a similar problem with my Delonghi Eco 310. Halfway through making a cup water stopped coming out but ran out from underneath.

This is how i fixed it:

First I checked the little tube that goes from the pump and anti drip valve into the boiler unit. There is a clamp on both ends to remove before you can take it out. First fault can occur here, check the black little O-Rings that might still stuck inside the connectors, if they are worn out they might need replacing.
Then check the little tube for any damage, even any fine tiny cracks can lead to a big leak as 15 bar go through it.
In my case there was no damage there, also not on the tubes that come from the watertank into the pump.

After I checked all that and it seemed fine, I turned the machine back on again with open top (careful of any electrical contacts!!!). Then I saw that water and steam came out of the anti drip valve. It seemed the water got sucked into the pump, pumped into the boiler, heated up there and put to 15 bar, but because the valve was broken the water didnt actually came out but searched the easiest way, which was the broken valve, that regulates the pressure. I went on a site for delonghi spare parts, bought a new valve for £5, replaced the old one and -tadaaaa! It works again!

SOURCE: My deLonghi Magnifica EAM3200 coffee maker is

I have the same problem, it leaks all over the place and makes a mess inside. Initially it just seemed to leak steam but it got worse and worse until now it leaks water badly. I took it apart and it appears to be a small orange silicone seal that's bad. The seal is located on the plunger that compacts the grinds and then forces water through to make the coffee. I took mine completely apart but I think by using a stubby Phillips you could remove the small black cap and replace the O ring easily. The O ring on mine that is torn is about .35" OD and about .15" ID.
To check if this is the problem on yours; turn off the machine and remove the main filter unit by pressing the two red "press to remove clips" and pulling the unit out. It will not come out with the machine powered on. Now look up into the top right hand corner and you''ll see the plunger and heater unit angled towards the center of the machine. There are two small stainless countersunk Phillips screws. Remove these and you should be able to see the small orange silicone O ring in question. Might be a good idea to replace the large one as well as it now pops right off and you can certainly clean around it now, something I was never able to do before. My small orange silicone O ring was torn into two pieces and I'll replace it tomorrow and see if it helps.

SOURCE: delonghi coffe maker leaks water from bottom

The problem is that the heated water is leaking out of the drip chamber. This is caused by the fact that they were to cheap to use stainless steel screws that hold the chamber top to the bottom. The screws have rusted and the hot water can escape the drip area and runs down next to a plastic tube that delivers the hot water to the top of the coffee maker from the heating element. To repair you have to remove two screws that are on the underside of the hot water drip area above the coffee filter. Then there are 3 tabs that have to be released and separate the cover that has the strength control from its base. When you pop off this cover, you will see the remains of 4 screws that are badly rusted. I used a small ez-out and drill to remove the remains. Be very careful to not drill the pilot hole through the top. I got lucky and was able to remove the screws and replaced them with stainless steel. An alternate method would be to use a food grade 100% silicon adhesive and glue the to back together. This method may leak in the future, so try to get the old screws out first.


I would recommend a MR coffee $30 to $50 models, on sale, for coffee before I would ever buy this European designed junk. I took this thing apart and just shook my head and said that you can tell things that aren

SOURCE: My Jura Capresso Impressa E8 is leaking water

I have the same problem with my E9 and I have traced it to the diaphragm unit that is just distal to the pump itself. Apparently, the diaphragm is secured with a steel band (not stainless since it is rusty) that may hold seals or O-rings that break down. You can observe it leaking when pressure applied during brewing. The question is: can a new unit be ordered and if so, where?

SOURCE: Hamilton Beach BrewStation 12 cup Coffee Maker, coffee leaks into the bottom water reservoir after brewing.

there is a small rubber flap valve in the tank. if you carefully clean that on a regular basis your problem should end.

Delonghi Magnifica 3300 doesn't make coffee, only wet grounds and water in the grounds container, everything else seems normal

Hi JB, not sure if you've junked your 3300 machine by now or had the problem fixed already. Nevertheless, allow me to share with owners of DeLonghi Magnifica Espresso machines who encounter similar problem to yours. Incidentally, mine is a Delonghi Magnifica 3200 which is very much the same as the 3300. Firstly, try to ascertain if the pump is working normally. When the machine is ready to brew coffee, turn ON the steam/hot water knob and see if it pumps normally and for more than 30secs at least. My machine could pump for short durations between 5secs to 20secs max before the water light came on. I checked the flow meter connection but is all seemed well. I noticed signs of water leak (dried up chalky water stains) where the steam wand exits the control panel. Upon opening up the control panel, I noticed a larger patch of dried up water stains on the wand valve assembly. Bought a set of steam wand assembly replacement and to replace the leaking one. It's been some six month now and I'm enjoying my daily cuppa again. Btw, my Delonghi Magnifica 3200 has been serving me well for 10 years! Apart from the steam wand replacement and a faulty micro-switch, I only had to carry out the usual descaling and replacing worn out O-rings.

Our delonghi magnific was cleaned using delonghe descaler and began leaking almost immediately, we replaced the water resevour but this has not improved matters, any thoughts? Nic

i had the exact same problem. My machine was working perfectly and have had it for about 5 years. I descaled usnig the solution that was sold to me by DeLonghi Customer Service, followed the instructions perfectly and after the cleaning/descaling process was complete, it started leaking from the resevoir side and possibly underneath. The water tank seal seems to be fine and cannot locate the source of the water without taking the machine apart. I also hear steam coming from somewhere for about 5 min after making a cup of coffee. If you find a solution, please email me at [email protected]. Thanks
