Breville Dual Boiler BES900 - BES900XL: Pressure gauge not working

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 02:44:22 -0700

Pressure gauge on my BES830XL/A does not work. Tried descaling with no effect. Also used cling wrap test to verify that the gauge itself in not working.

Assume pressure port somewhere is clogged not allowing the gauge to work. Any ideas on fixing this problem.

There is no movement on the pressure gauge.

Breville: Grinder does not come on at all for my bdc650BSS

Sun, 15 Jan 2023 09:47:15 -0700

Grinder does not come on at all for my bdc650BSS. It has been fully cleaned, descaled, reset, calibrated. I’m not sure where to go from here. It may be the actual motor. LED light will blink or go out occasionally and then we unplug and plug it back in to get it working. Also, we can only make 9 cups of coffee at a time because when we fill it to 12 the LED screen will blink and go out sometimes.

Breville: Why is my coffee machine tripping my switch

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 14:42:07 -0700

Hi, I have a Breville BES870 espresso machine purchased in Australia. I have been back in the UK 18 months and it has been working perfectly up until a couple of weeks ago.

I started to get no steam, then no water coming through and finally the machine was tripping the fuse box.

Can you advise where I could get this repaired?

Many thanks

Breville Dual Boiler BES900 - BES900XL: How do I open the underside of the machine.

Thu, 16 Nov 2023 14:12:15 -0700

I’ve noticed ants coming in and out of a hole near where the water tray sits. I’ve been trying to get the bottom off the machine by removing every screw in sight, but the locking/unlocking wheel is the only thing stopping it from coming up. I can’t seem to take the wheel off, or loosen it up.

any help appreciated.

thanks!

Breville Dual Boiler BES900 - BES900XL: Why is my machine making a hissing noise?

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 14:24:16 -0700

The hissing noise is getting louder every day. The machine has always been cleaned on schedule and is not even 1 year old. It is louder from the back of the machine and does not seem to affect the coffee or milk frothing.

Breville Dual Boiler BES900 - BES900XL: Why is my over flow tray always filling up and not the cup

Sat, 17 Jan 2026 09:48:46 -0700

When I make a cup of coffee a lot of water ends up in the overflow tray.

When I do a descale, most of the water ends in the overflow tray instead of the container I place under the spouts.

Breville Dual Boiler BES900 - BES900XL: Dual Boiler making loud zapping noise

Sat, 27 Jul 2024 08:49:16 -0700

Has anyone experienced this noise: https://vimeo.com/988433453/d1f1979d2d?s...

It happens a bit immediately at the start of the video but more clearly between .13 seconds and .17 seconds.

Sometimes the sound is much more pronounced and longer. The pressure will drop to zero for a duration and then right back up to 9 again.

Thanks for any help

Breville: Trying to remove the top cover on a Breville Oracle

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 01:09:25 -0700

Hi All,

In all the videos and instructions I have seen there are two Phillips head screws underneath the top cover next to the group head and the steam wand, on my machine I have two security screws instead.

Is there a tool I can get to remove these screws?

Picture of screws attached.

Brevile Barista Express: Machine trips RCD when turning on

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 06:14:42 -0700

I've used my Breville (US) Barista Express successfully in the UK using a transformer. I've just moved houses, and now every time I try to turn on the machine, it trips my RCD. How can I diagnose/fix this?

Couple of observations:
- The transformer works, it turns on/off without problem when nothing is plugged in, and also powers a Breville toaster oven just fine
- If the transformer is in its "off" position (but the main switch is on), the RCD trips from just plugging the machine into the transformer
- If it's in the "on" position, the RCD trips from trying to turn on the machine. For a brief moment initially, the machine turned on this way but tripped the RCD when trying to brew, and now it trips even when turning on

Any help appreciated to diagnose this!

Breville Citrus Press 800CPXL: How to remove plastic shaft cap of the 800CPXL?

Tue, 09 Mar 2021 11:16:04 -0700

I need to replace the security microswitch SP0011048 in my 800CPXL, and I’m not sure how to remove the plastic shaft cap that supports the die cast reamer. I was able to determine the switch was broken without removing the cap (and everything sitting half way inside), but clean removal of the old part & soldering of the new part would be so much easier if I could pull everything out of the housing… Replacement instructions where I bought the part simply say “disassemble the juicer”, and I think the cap is just pressure fitted on top of the shaft, but it’s not budging when trying to pull or pry it off & I don’t want to break it.
