Solenoid valve three-way bottom DeLonghi

The three-way solenoid valve DeLonghi 5213218251 is the lower valve that controls the distribution of pressurised water in ECAM and ETAM series fully automatic espresso machines. If water is leaking under the machine or into the drip tray instead of into the cup during brewing, or if coffee is dripping very slowly, this part is the most common cause and the correct replacement. The valve distributes water to the brewing unit, the coffee outlet, and the drip tray; when it loses its seal or jams, water does not flow where it should and pressure loss occurs.

Important — verify your model: before ordering, check the exact model and version of your machine (for example, the series code and designation such as EX:2 / EX:3) on the rating plate. The rating plate is usually located on the underside of the machine or behind the water tank. Confirming the model will ensure this part is a correct fit.

When does this part need replacing? (Fault symptoms)

This part typically fails when you notice one or more of the following symptoms:

• Water leaks into the drip tray or under the machine during brewing, not only during rinsing cycles
• Coffee flows very slowly, drip by drip, or not at all — the pump is working but water is not passing through the brewing unit
• The machine produces unusual hissing sounds due to pressure loss, or a loud bang at the end of the brewing cycle
• The spent coffee puck is wet and crumbles instead of holding together as a firm, dry puck
