Hope you can help. My Lelit Elizabeth is slow drip by drip leaking at the ball joint. It is in it’s last month or so of warranty, so I could bring it in to the retailer. But it’s a hassle to box it up and drive it there. And back. And I lose use of machine for a week. And if they have to order parts, its longer. Is there an easy fix I can do myself?
The other issue is a slow drip leak at the steam wand tip. This is a knob valve gasket or seal issue. Its was replaced a couple of months ago, and I tried hard to not over tighten. But it began to drip and so I had to tighten more firmly. Now it sometimes drips with even a firm tightening. I just know that it will become a circular decline to a greater drip. And the shop will certainly point the finger at me. Then we will have a 1 week wait for parts to come from the distributor or even from Italy.
Also the gauges seem to steam up, likely due to the ball joint leak.
Any suggestions?
Thanks @MediumRoastSteam @DavecUK and all.
