Gaskets in these machines seal joints that carry hot water or steam, so even a small tear shows up as a leak. The description simply reads gasket, with no size or position given, so confirm 5313238581 against the parts list for your model, or compare it closely with the seal you're replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a worn gasket causes coffee machine leaks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat, pressure and scale are hard on rubber. Over time a gasket loses its spring, takes a permanent set or splits, and stops sealing the faces it sits between. On a coffee machine that can mean water escaping around a component, steam where there shouldn't be any, a leak that only appears while brewing, or poor pressure at the cup. Leaving it can let water reach electrical parts, so it's worth replacing as soon as a leak is traced to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine De'Longhi part 5313238581\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealing gasket for De'Longhi coffee machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces a flattened, hardened or split gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the gasket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways unplug the machine and let it cool completely so no pressure or heat is left in the system. Take photos as you dismantle so the parts go back in the right order. Clean the seating faces carefully, since leftover scale stops a new gasket from sealing. Fit the gasket dry or with a light film of food grade silicone grease, then reassemble and test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I reuse the old gasket after cleaning it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's not recommended. Once a gasket has been compressed by heat and pressure it rarely seals as well a second time. If you've opened the joint, fitting a new 5313238581 is a simple way to avoid a leak later.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De'Longhi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44550137446478,"sku":"5313238581","price":6.15,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/5313238581-genuine-delonghi-gasket","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
