Disassembling Krups 963 Top Cover

Introduction

The espresso machine lid may leak, or you may need to service the electrical components. Follow the steps to remove the top plastic cover of the espresso unit in order to solve these problems:

1.) silicone washer attached to the inside top of the lid can fall into the unit (retrieve & press back into lid), resulting in the lid leaking;

2.) part of the silicone O-ring at the base of the threads is pushed under the machine top plastic cover, no longer protecting the inside of the unit from excess water entering the machine through the hole in the top section of the plastic cover.
