DISCONTINUED Lelit PL60PLUST Diana PID Dual Boiler Espresso Machine

Prior to purchase, please review the diagram for the Diana on our web site, search for the part number, and finally, match the part in your machine to the picture on our web site. Sorry, we are unable to answer directly as manufacturers have changed part without notification and most times not updating the diagrams. hence, the aforementioned process needs to occur.

It looks like this item may the correct part.

It could be a bad solenoid valve or the steam pipe or tip is clogged.

Please check the diagrams and search for the part numbers on our web site.

The only way to remove the screw is by using pliers to remove the dispersion screen and ripping it out. Then, the screw will loosen out more easily. if this does not work, then a professional needs to evaluate the situation.

If leaking from the threaded side, then plumbers tape can be used. If from the other side, it may be the hose or gasket inside this fitting (plumbers tape can not correct).

Socket can not be used. The red wires are disconnected on the other side from the nut. A crescent wrench needs to be used.

It is probably overheating and the PID sensor on the steam boiler needs a wire brush cleaning. It usually has a double red wire that should never be twisted, turned or bent.

Vibration pump life span is usually 5 years. You are probably past due.

Since it is tripping your GFI outlet, the machine should not be used and it should be evaluated by a professional.

We recommend that customers use the diagrams for the Diana and search by part number for availability and pricing. If they are not on our web site, then we do not have them. For hoses, we usualyl suggest matching them up to a local hardware or kitchen supply store. They are made of silicone and are much cheaper when purchased locally.

Sorry, this is currently not a stocked item. Lelit may have an alternative.

Sorry, we are not aware of this possibility.

Sorry, it could be the controller, the relay, or the wiring.

Backflush first to remove the oils behind the screen pushing tight up against the screw. Hopefully, the pressure from the oils and coffee behind the screen release the tension against the screw.

Sorry, with the Diana discontinued, we are no longer researching substitute parts as we do not have any Diana machines to fit and/or test any new steam tips.

Yes, you can.

The o-rings are part of MC073.

This can be difficult to remove. If the odor is from the grouphead, Please remove any filters or water softeners from the intake tube in the reservoir then run white vinegar through the grouphead. Then rinse with water.

If it is from the hot water spigot or steam wand, this is more difficult and the machine may need to be shipped in for service.

Please follow the instructions for a reset as someone may have changed the parameters. Otherwise, it may need to come in for evaluation.

Although discontinued by Lelit, the Diana's espresso machine diagram is still available as well as most parts. When the steam boiler heats up, the vacuum valve is supposed to stay open and allow any vacuum pressure out. It will leak some water and steam from the top of the boiler. By opening the steam steam valve, you are further releasing the vacuum. Once the steam boiler builds up enough pressure, the vacuum valve closes on its own.

Otherwise, you are using too pure water and the steam boiler is overfilling with water. Or, the refill probe has limescale and the boiler is overfilling. Thus a greater leak.

At your own risk, you remove the top cover and try to trace back the leak and see what part it is coming from.

Sorry, this machine has been discontinued.

There is a separate switch for the steam boiler, but the coffee boiler must be powered on as well.

Hi Paul, you may have not noticed, but the pumps usually have square brackets inside the machine.

The reason is that the hot water comes from the brew boiler, and the cold water displaces the hot water. Since the water displacement is fast, a 110 volt machine takes a little bit to get back to temp.

Tablets or powder can be used for backflushing. However, powder is usually cheaper.

Yes, this is normal. This is called an overshoot. It happens because of the agressiveness of the PID to recover from the cold water entering the boiler. If there wasn't this aggressiveness in the PID settings, the temperature of the water in the boiler will lower faster without the aggressiveness.

Hence, when the overshoot occurs, the next extraction can be made because the temperature will lower from the incoming colder water.

Yes, it should work. However, the fineness of the grind usually needs to be coarsened as the basket holds ground coffee than other portafilter baskets.

As many folks misunderstand, the pump pressure created by a vibration pump is the result of the following three variables:

a) amount of the coffee in the basket,
b) the fineness of the grind, and
c) the amount of tamp pressure.

These three variables create the 'resistance' that the pump has to push water through. If the resistance is too high, the bar pressure goes higher. Please coarsen the fineness of the grind and you should see the pump pressure drop.

While you can adjust the Over Pressure Valve inside the machine at your own risk, this will not always be a good indicator that you have the correct fineness of the grind.

Yes, a Diana owner can insulate the boiler at their own risk. Sorry, we are unable to offer any suggestions on aftermarket insulation due to liability reasons.

The steam boiler does have a vacuum breaker valve.
