Ariete Non-Return Valve / Brew Valve Not Sealing

Water drips continuously from the coffee spout even when the machine is idle.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Debris in brew valve, Worn internal O-rings, Scale buildup preventing full closure, Faulty solenoid valve

Safety first: Unplug the machine before extended cleaning or descaling.

Run cleaning cycles: Run several hot water cycles without coffee to flush any debris from the valve.
Descale: Perform a full descaling cycle to remove limescale that may prevent the valve from sealing.
Check for overfilled circuit: Ensure the water tank is not overfilled beyond the MAX line.
If dripping continues: The internal brew or solenoid valve may need cleaning or replacement, which requires opening the machine. Seek professional service.
