Introduction
These instructions may also help with other Melitta models and with coffee makers from Nivona, Siemens, and Miele—they have a very similar design.
These instructions will show you how to replace the drainage valve.
Please note: Some pictures are taken from the almost identical Siemens Surpreso Compact. Little visible differences are of no importance.
What you need
-
-
Remove the water tank and drainage tray.
-
Remove the side cover and remove the brewing unit.
-
Remove all coffee beans.
-
-
-
Press carefully into the slits on the sides using a minus screwdriver or a flat metal spatula, to release the clasps on the upper surface. These may be well tight and you have to use some force.
-
You should have created a separation between the upper surface and side panels. Now lever the upper covering away using a plastic tool. This may be quite stuck and you may apply some force.

-

Very good instructions it took me about an hour. be careful with the o rings you need toe remove the old one from the ols drain valve. And also take care with the back large white plastic spacer behind the gear drive, it drops off easily and needs to be in the same position (there are 3 possible positions!!!!) also on mine there was just a tube for the expansion.
Hi VauWeh, thank you very much for your guide!
I think I was working on this Drainageventil, when suddenly a ball bearing (or Float-Ball?) came loose. Any idea where the ball should be?
Look at this guide, step 10. There is a part marked orange, a spring loaded piston. Older valves don't have this, but only a single (lose) ball, no spring. I think this is your ball. Just put it back, that's all!
