On top of the boiler you can see the valve. Can you see if the water really drips out of the valve? Pull the plug!

The boiler and valve are fixed with three screws. Also loosen some cables and hoses until the boiler can be removed.

Two screws hold the valve looking upwards.

As the old one uses M4 screws you have to cut the thread into the plastic body. Use a threader.

and make a circle cut into the plastic of the holder of the boiler in order to let the incoming hose pass by.

Superb,thank you very much !!!
This guide helped me tremendously with the repair of my Delonghi Magnifica which is very similar. In particular, the explanation of the difference between the old and new solenoids, and the need for new raccords (a new word to me!) was helpful, although I’ve yet to figure out where to get the raccords from.
I fitted a new pump, flow meter, and will be fitting a new solenoid when I get the relevant parts.
Glad to help you. Maybe the above mentioned German dealer is shipping?
