I have a leak at the water fill solenoid/valve connection in my Quick Mill Anita. Solenoid is by Olab. The leak appears to be due to a degraded o-ring. Checked in with Chris' Coffee but they do not carry a replacement o-ring. Does anyone happen to have a source?

The seal is a Teflon gasket and I just removed the one that I had laying around. You are welcome to it (gratis) but I would prefer to install it myself.

Eric, thanks for the note. I've seen a lot of your posts on the Anita. I didn't notice you were in MD. I'll definitely reach out to you for local assistance. I've gotten the solenoid off but am not sure how to identify the o-ring.

Once again (and cheerfully), it is NOT an o-ring seal but is a Teflon gasket. I removed the Teflon from an old OLAB solenoid I had laying around and, PERHAPS, this would solve your problem. In any event, this is a simple fix BUT the permanent solution is to replace the OLAB with a Parker solenoid valve which can be a little tricky.

Sorry about that. I still need to get up to speed on the nomenclature!

Eric, Thanks again for being so generous with your time today. I'll report back if I'm able to track down the dimensions.
