    • Flip open the top panel to reveal water reservoir.

    • Grab the water reservoir by the handle and lift out.

    My model EC155, serial #43222 requires a Security Torx vs. a #2 Phillips to remove the 12mm screws at each corner of the bottom panel

    • Flip the device on its head.

    • Using the Phillips #2 screwdriver, unscrew the four 12 mm screws found at each corner of the bottom panel.

    • Lift the panel off or flip the device over and let the panel drop out.

    At least on my unit, those screws weren't Phillips, but Torx Tamperproof T20! Shame on you, De'Longhi!

    I also had the Tamperproof Torx on mine - I used a Dremel tool with a small round metal bit and just carefully plunged down on the little nub in the center that makes it tamperproof. Only need to grind it down a millimeter or so, as there isn't much torque on these screws and the torx bit needs just a little depth to grab on it good enough. If you have the tools handy it saves having to buy the tamperproof bits online.

    • Before flipping the device, removed the black container and grill.

    • Flip the device on its head, front end facing you.

    • Using the Phillips #2 unscrew the two 52 mm screws found underneath the top portion of the device.

    the tip about removing the black container and grill should be before step 2.

    • Flip the device back to its proper orientation.

    • Using the Phillips #2 screwdriver remove the two 52 mm screws found on the lip next to the reservoir.

    • Insert the two plastic opening tools beneath the top knob.

    • Use the two plastic opening tools as leverage to lift the top knob off.

    • Grasp the lid firmly with both hands.

    • Pull mightily with both hands away from the device.

    • If you hear a slight snapping sound, it is supposed to do that.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to push in the slot on the back panel while lifting.

    • Similarly, reach into where the reservoir used to be and insert a plastic spudger underneath the inside panel.

    • We recommend to not use your fingers for this step because there is a chance they will be pinched.

    • You are now ready to lift the top off.

    • Place one hand near the back, the other at the front, and lift.

    • You may want to lift the front and back individually by pulling one a little off the part before the other. Afterwards, lifting the top off entirely will be easier.

    • Flip the device and remove one end of the tube from the water reservoir hole.

    There are two tubes connected to the water reservoir hole. The one in the first pic is the one that goes to the water valve, which is the one that you pull through to the top. The one in the second pic is the short one from the bottom of the pump that can detached from the water hole and left in place, to be transferred later to the new pump. Detaching it from the from the filter as shown adds to the impression that this is the tube to the water valve to be pulled through to the top in the next step, which the user quickly finds is impossible, it’s too short.

    • Pull the tube through the chamber with the water pump so it comes out of the top end.

    • Twist the valve counterclockwise while pulling gently.

I done this earlier today without the guide after it started to leak after descaling the machine , so i fixed it by taking valve apart an putting back together it worked once before leaking again , im just concerned it will just go again if i replace the safety valve , im wondering if scale has moved an is blocking and causing valve to leak? any ideas?

Great description! Is the water valve ever used to control brew pressure?

Thatcher Drake - Réponse

Great guide!, carefull the water valve has inside, two small orings, don´t loss it. Muy buena guia, hice todo lo indicado y funciono perfectamente, mi máquina comenzo a gotear agua por dentro y gracias a este manual pude encontrar la falla, que es la válvula, tengo con la maquina mas de 7 años y hasta ahora fallo, la válvula por ser de plastico no se puede reparar, pero se consiguen las partes en ereplacementparts.com. Solo un comentario la valvula tiene 2 orings pequeños, así que tengan cuidado cuando la saquen no se les pierdan.
