The machine isn't frothing milk? It's time to check the steam wand.

Steam problems on the Barista Pro BES878 – intermittent steam, weak pressure, or water spray instead of dry steam – are usually caused by one of two things: a blockage in the spout with milk, or a failure of the steam wand unit itself. When a thorough cleaning does not resolve the issue, the entire steam wand assembly may need to be replaced.

Before you order – Safety first! To ensure a successful repair and maintain the performance of the machine, it is important to use only genuine parts. Non-genuine parts may cause poor sealing, inconsistent pressure, and damage to the electronic board. Click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page for instant confirmation.

Why does the steam wand stop working?

Milk residue that gets into the inner tube is the most common cause of failure – especially when a short burst of steam is not performed after each froth. Over time, the accumulated milk can also weigh down the microswitch and possibly the solenoid inside the assembly, until they stop responding. External cleaning won’t do it – replacing the entire assembly is the solution.

In the experience of our technicians, approximately 65% ​​of cases where steam comes out of the drip tray and not the spout indicate a failure of the internal valve within the assembly – not an external blockage. ⚠️ Do not attempt to disassemble the valve mechanism – it is factory calibrated and cannot be field repaired.

🔧 How do you replace the steam wand on the BES878?

Replacing the steam wand assembly is an advanced level of difficulty operation , requiring partial disassembly of the machine cover and disconnection of pressure hoses. ⚠️ It is highly recommended to contact a qualified technician.

Before any action:

1. Turn off the machine. And unplugged
2. Wait 30-45 minutes For complete cooling – the boiler retains dangerous heat.
3. We emptied the water tank. completely

⚠️ Important: Incorrectly disconnecting the pressure hoses without technical knowledge may cause further damage and risk of burns. We recommend calling a qualified service technician to perform the replacement.

💡 Tip from the experts

From our technicians’ experience – the most common mistake we see is cleaning only the outer head, without releasing steam after each use. In the BES878, the nozzle is internally heated (ThermoJet), which causes milk residue to dry faster than in other machines. A 2-3 second steam release immediately after each froth and wiping with a damp towel extend the life of the assembly by 3-5 years according to our estimates – without any in-depth cleaning.
