I had the same problem with the XP7240. The rubber seal in the plunger that pushes out the coffee cake after brewing is worn or dirty. You need to romve the cover by taking of the top (screws in the bean collector and cover tray for cleaning tablet). You have to be rough because parts are clicked together. The face of the machine comes off by pulling it upwards (it is just clamped with plastic nudges). Once that is done you remove the 4 screws that were hidden by the stainless steel face. Then remove the electronic board (leave connections on except for bean grinder and boiler). Grinder can then be removed followed by the cream cover. Remove the 15mm steel nut on top of the arm. Remove the front and display. Then use a torix on top of the brew plate and an allan key on the bottom of the plunger. Unscrew, remove spring and seal (very small cup). Let me know if you need more instructions (take a rainy sunday afternoon to do this)
I came to the same conclusion taking appart the Krups 7225 Automatic expresso machine. My question is where to find the replacement seal?
Thanks
Groupe SEB, 1/ 10 Hill Road, Home bush. They sell it for $2.99 (pick up)
When I opened up the machine, I found the cup in the bottom of the machine. I assume I can reassemble the spring and plunger, with the cup. What sequence are they from the bottom up. The cup looks in good condition. Am I missing anything? Like why the cup fell out in the first place?
you mean with the cup the seal? Then it is just worn out, too loose and you need to replace it. The plunger can be removed from the spring/rod. The plunger has a screw on top and the rod an allen screw under the plastic ball. Remove both and it comes apart. The seal can be pushed into the hole under the brewer and reassemble the plunger, spring and rod. I loosen the entire boiler to get to the under side of the rod but it is possible to reach it without loosen the entire brewer unit. Good luck.
Don't bother replacing the seal just silicon it in as a new one will leak as well after a few uses.
can i silicone it just with the disassembled casing?
