A Short Maintenance Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA steam or water leak from the tap area on a Vibiemme Lollo is one of the most common service faults on this machine. Here’s how to diagnose the source and what’s involved in replacing the tap assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere Is the Leak Coming From?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore replacing the tap assembly, confirm where the leak is originating. On the Vibiemme Lollo, water can escape from two common points:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the steam tip\u003c\/strong\u003e — a slow drip from the end of the steam wand when the tap is closed indicates the internal seal or valve seat inside the tap body has worn and is no longer sealing correctly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrom around the lever or tap body\u003c\/strong\u003e — water weeping from the base of the lever or around the tap body fitting points to a failed O-ring or stem seal within the assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn both cases, replacing the complete tap assembly (ASSRACCRUBLOLLO) is the recommended fix, as individual internal seals for this assembly are often unavailable separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Replace the Steam Tap on a Vibiemme Lollo\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis repair requires depressurising and partially draining the boiler before the tap can be safely removed. The general process is:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsolate the machine from mains power and allow it to cool completely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease steam pressure by carefully opening the steam tap until no more steam or water flows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrain sufficient water from the boiler to bring the water level below the tap fitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnscrew the tap assembly nut from the boiler fitting — use a correctly sized spanner on the flat of the tap body, not on the lever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the old assembly and install the new ASSRACCRUBLOLLO, applying PTFE tape to the boiler thread if required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefill, pressurise, and check for leaks before returning to service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis repair is recommended for a qualified technician or an experienced DIY repairer comfortable working on pressurised boiler systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I just replace the O-rings instead of the whole tap assembly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePossibly, if the correct seal kit is available for the Lollo tap. However, sourcing individual seals for this assembly can be difficult, and the cost difference between a seal kit and a complete assembly is often minimal. Replacing the full assembly ensures a reliable, long-lasting repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this tap assembly fit other Vibiemme models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart ASSRACCRUBLOLLO is listed specifically for the Vibiemme Lollo. Other VBM models may use different tap assemblies.
