Parts Descriptions
- Although we make our best effort to describe parts, please don't assume a part will fit your machine. Some models have different versions with different parts. If you are unsure of which part to order, please use our contact page with your make and model of machine for assistance.

- Please note that manufacturers will source and supply parts different from the original equipment. Although we make our best effort to describe parts, changes can occur by the manufacturer without any notice to 1st-line or to you. For example, a manufacturer may initially supply 110-volt heating elements with 1200 watts but later change to 1300 or 1400 watts without notice. Another example is that an initial parts replacement may have a Parker branded solenoid valve, but subsequent shipments may have Lucifer or ODE solenoids without notice. 1st-line Equipment will NOT be held responsible for any changes in the part supply, nor advertising in these types of discrepancies.

CascadeChicken (verified owner) –
The one I got turned out to be 1200W instead of the original 1400W, which was mentioned as a possibility in the description. I was bummed at first but have to admit that I can’t tell the difference. It was pretty simple to replace even though I didn’t have the 38mm socket that would have made this a 5 minute job…so it may be worth borrowing or buying one. I needed to remove the sides and access port on the bottom as well as one copper tubing on the bottom of the boiler to make room for my large adjustable wrench. Before removing the element, I drained the boiler by blowing compressed air into the steam wand with the hot water valve open. I noticed the gasket only fits properly one way so be sure that the ridge on the gasket fits cleanly into the groove on the heating element. I used a little bit of Food Safe Lubricant (McGlaughlin Oil Co Petrol-Gel) to help the gasket stay in placed on the heating element as I screwed it into the boiler.
I purchased this in a feeble attempt to fix my Lelit Bianca that was taking forever to heat up and recover after steaming milk. Even though my ohms meter reading indicated the element was good, I heard it could be suffering from severe lime scale on a forum. After 3 descalings, I gave up and bought a new element since I couldn’t think of anything else that might cause the heating issue. I was so bummed with the problem remained. I eventually began to suspect the solid state relay and decided to switch the coffee and steam boiler relays to help troubleshoot. I found the problem moved to the coffee boiler, which isolated the problem to the relay…so another $100 later everything is working…and now I’m trying to sell my old and perfectly good heating element on eBay. D’oh!
