Introduction

For most repairs, the machine must be opened. The first step is to take the back off.

Tools

T20 Torx Screwdriver Bit

Step 1

Unplug the power cord!
Remove all attachments such as water tank, pulp drawer, brew group.
Turn the machine with the back facing you.
Remove five Torx T20 security screws.
A small hurdle: These screws have a pin in the middle, so the screwdriver must have a hole.

Screwdriver must have a hole? What does that mean? Is it a standard Tx20 bit?

No, it is a TR20 Security Bit, which really has a hole (if you look to the star shape) . See TR10 Torx Security Screwdriver

Bits from iFixit are equipped with it.

Step 2

Lift out the back.
The following components are immediately visible:
grinder
pump
flowmeter

Sehr gute Anleitung. Die Security Schrauben der Rückwand können auch durch normale Kreuzschlitzschrauben ersetzt werden. Natürlich mit gleichen Abmessungen. Es erleichtert bei späteren Reparatur Arbeiten die Werkzeuge Auswahl , da überall Kreuzschlitzschrauben verbaut sind.
