I bought one back in January but after the first use, the pump seems to have lost vaccum. Is there a gasket between the bellow cap and the pump?

There are 2 seals/gaskets that I can see on the unit. The one on the lift spigot which is about 1 1/2" in size and one attached to the underside of the lid about 1/2"-5/8" in size.

Is the fill cap on? If it is, open the cap, this should allow the tank to go back to it's original shape. If this is not the case, I would return the tank because this is not normal.

I would try to disasemble the cover and impeller and reasemble make sure all parts are on correctly and make sure to prime.it correctly,DO NOT plug in the filter until all air is out of the system. Good luck!! Hope this helps!!

When I purchased this impeller 1 year ago it did NOT come with a gasket, as stated and expected. Perhaps they now include them.

I just remembered that like the others said, its a sealed unit. I didn't use the gasket after buying one.

I would have to agree, it sounds like the gasket isn't sealing properly. Just be sure there is no obstruction in either the lid vent or the vent hole of the weight. Mine has worked very well with no problems for a while now. Sounds like the seal isn't quite aligning.

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I'm not sure what you mean. Did something happen to the gasket on yours or does it just leak? Mine retains liquid every time something is poured from it. It is a huge flaw in this product, wish I could find a new cover that fit and didn't leak.

I opened the little round button and put the vacuum hose on it, covering the whole circle. I also sealed the bottom tightly. Hope this helps.

I just installed one and the certificate was dated June 2008 and I bought it within the last year .. When I pulled the cap I heard a hiss .. so I am guessing it may be back filled with an inert gas .. Along with them being sealed in plastic and yes .. mostly carbon .. I cut one apart after 6 months of usage .. and saw nothing unusual and no mold or anything like that .. I plan on calling 3M and asking the question when I have time .. I will update this post when I get an answer.

There is an orange or red colored oring on the bottom of the pump shaft. That's all that I used to install it. There is no actual motor gasket that's needed

Have you tried usimg that white sealant tape on the connections you have to screw on? That is something that is necessary on things like this yet are not usually included. When I bought my pump it used to leak air as well until I used that tape.

Mine came with a seal cap when I bought it in 2012. I hadn't used it since then, so I went to my garage to check on it. There was some dried product under the cap, so I cleaned it out with a screwdriver. Once I removed the dried material the rest of the product in the tube was still wet and usable.

That may be where the capacitor is housed. One of the pumps I purchased earlier seemed not to fit because of this housing. I just removed the screws on the housing and moved it to the side when I used the locking collar to hold the pump in place. I then put it back in place and replaced the screws. This was inconvenient but not too bad and I only had to do it once. I know this does not answer your question exactly but it may help.

I don't but I actually need to replace mine as well. With mine, the frother starting making odd sounds and while steam would come out of the want it would not froth the milk. I'm not sure if you have the same problem but I was able to fix mine in the interim. I determined that there was a loss in seal with the plastic gasket that goes inside the metal wand housing. I applied some duct tape to the housing and then slid the gasket on over the top, using some force to make sure it was very snug. That fixed the problem immediately and that solution has worked well for a few months now. I do plan to reach out to DeLonghi customer service however to inquire about new parts at some point.

Is it the membrane housing for sure (5th stage)? I'm going to say you can probably take that piece in to your local hardware store and find a replacement. We had leaks from stages one through three and found that the gasket seal had shifted when we screwed them in. So we just had to resituate the seals. We also had to buy a replacement tank valve as the one that came with it was pretty cheap. Not sure if that helps any...but my 2 cents. Bought the system may of 2013 and so far so good after the initial installation.

It may just be the pump shaft seal. If the pump housing isn't cracked I would look into replacing the pump case and shaft seal, I believe they come in a kit and are much cheaper than buying a housing or a pump.
