I have a leak under the profitec pro 700. The T is desintegrated. May be IDC can send me the part, May i find it elsewhere ?

If you don't mind me asking, does the component that disintegrated connect to the steam boiler? If so, at what temp you keep your steam boiler?

Same thing occurred with with my Profitec Pro 700-it's a common point of failure.
WLL sent a new Tee Connector and 8mm silicone tubing. About $15 all together.

Yes it connect to steam boiler. The temp is set to 253 wich is within recommandations.

I found a t at the car department at a Canadian Tire. Lucky me. Profitec up and running.

I'd be concerned about lead or other contaminants.

Nope. One way out to the discharge nozzle. Then to the drip tray.

It usually disintegrates due to heat when the antivac valve fails, best to change that also, otherwise your just fixing the symptom ,not the cause

Yes thank for pointing that. The brew boiler is leaking too at the refill elbow. Times for an overhaul.

The machine is leaking from temp probe and Elbow (red zone).

According to the parts diagram, the seal is made with copper seal for the elbow.
I have Loctite 567 High Temperature Thread Sealant

Any recommandation ?
