Saeco Vienna machine...after brewing a couple of cups of coffee, water leaks from somewhere and comes out underneath the front grilled tray and onto the counter. Can I do the repair with the proper parts?

Depending on your ability to do some technical and minutious manual work, unmounting and remounting the machine is feasable.

Concerning the leaking, what I've seen most is a leak from the seal under the water tank. Any leaks coming form there would occur even though no coffee would be dispensed. (i.e: Idle mode)

If leak is ONLY occurring when brewing cofee, I would check the following:

1- Check if the water inlet on the back of the brew unit is filled with residue (the inlet looks like the end of a smoke pipe)

2-Open the machine, take out the interior, and verify the water tubes coming in and out of the boiler. They both should be sealed with 2 small o-rings. After time, o-ring tend to expand under heat and may start to leak.

Hope this helps

    How do you 'take out the interior'? Appreciate your answer and help in advance.

Water leaking under the machine

Take a look at the little spout area that pours into the water tray. It can get clogged with coffee grounds. This was our solution with one machine. But with another, the water was actually leaking out the back and was the result of a dying boiler assembly.

My Saeco Vienna Superautomatica leaks

Check the little chamber under the white plastic valve behind the brew unit, that might be blocked with coffee.

My Saeco Vienna Deluxe has water leaking out from somewhere underneath - clear water.

There are so many places to check, but lets check the small chamber under the white plastic valve, which sits behind the brew unit, clean out the chamber of coffee grounds. If that is not the cause then, you will have to open the machine to find the leak.

My saeco vienna water is leaking out from somewhere underneath

If it is coffee colored water, then remove the brew unit and look under the white plastic valve in the machine, you will notice a small chamber, clean chamber of coffee grounds and make sure the little discharge to the draintray is also clear. Insert brew unit and check machine.

It leaks at the drain outlet behind the brew group...overflows into the tray and leaks horribly from underneath unit

Hi
The drain in the back of the machine is plugged with coffee residue. There is a pocket below the injection tube ( the one with the 2 o-rings on it) that is filled with coffee residue that needs to be cleaned out. When its clean and you put water in the pocket it should come out the drain hole into the drip tray. The pocket is where the brew unit relieves the pressure when it is done brewing. That is why you get coffee residue in the pocket.

Liquid leak while Vienna runs...but where from?

You may have a cracked coil inside the boiler and cracked nut of the coil going up to the wiring lug. Check it out, it will be a hair thin crack, almost invisible.

Problem getting a Full Cup of Coffee

besides descaling you need to lube the brew group, especially the bit that accepts the group nozzle. You might have a leaking boiler too, 6 years is pretty good for a vienna.

Remove the brew group and look for the two red o-rings on teh brass bit, smear some lube on it, they might need replacing by now, but luckily they aren't too expensive and readily available albeit a bit tricky to install, a good light and some patience is very important.

Saeco Vienna leaking

We had this problem and it was overflow from a clog -- check the hole where excess water drains into the drip tray to see if it is full of grounds. Cleaned it out with a twistie tie and flushed w/ water. That stopped the water on our counter!
