In a coffee machine, a solenoid valve is an electrically operated tap that opens and closes on command from the control board, directing water or steam where it's needed. A three-way valve can switch flow between paths or vent pressure. De'Longhi uses several similar valves, so confirm this number before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCoffee machine faults linked to a solenoid valve\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolenoid valves work in hot water and steam, so scale and wear eventually catch up with them. A valve that sticks open may cause dripping from the spout or steam wand, water in the drip tray when the machine is idle, or pressure that won't release. One that sticks shut or has a failed coil can stop water or steam flowing at all, leaving the pump humming with nothing coming out. A buzzing or silent coil, or an error on the display, also points here. Regular descaling helps prevent repeat failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine De'Longhi part 5213270534\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-way solenoid valve, type 3VB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e230V coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor De'Longhi coffee machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 way (3VB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the valve\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the machine and let it cool completely, as the internals hold hot water and steam. Empty the water tank and drip tray. Photograph the hose and wire connections before removing the old valve, and replace any clips or O-rings that look worn. After fitting, run water through before making coffee and check carefully for leaks. If you're not confident with mains wiring, use a qualified repairer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan a two-way valve replace this one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is the 3VB three-way valve, and De'Longhi also uses two-way valves that have fewer ports and do a different job. Check the number on your old valve or your machine's parts list and order the matching one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De'Longhi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44550685655118,"sku":"5213270534","price":38.04,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/5213270534-genuine-delonghi-3-way-solenoid-valve-230v","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
