Thermo Block Inlet Connector & Seal & Spacer & Fork D8mm & Seal Ring Kit Of Water Heating Element compatible with Philips Coffee Machine

Works good!

There I was, minding my own business when my beloved Phillip of the 3200 sort decided to be all grind no brew. Sad sad. I directed my computer in my pocket to the fix everything library of the University of YouTube and was able to become a coffee machine aficionado in under an hour. Diagnosed. Check. Part number. Check. And here’s where the wheels fell off the bus. Is this part locked in a safe inside some mystery location? Likely. It’s not incredibly easy to find, nor are any Phillips parts for delivery at lightening speed to get us back to fully caffeinated. As my Grandpa used to say “That’s how they get ya”. Challenge accepted. No. I shall not buy a whole new machine that ought to be gold laden given the price, for one piece of broken plastic!! And here we are, you, trying to figure out if this part will restore your previously glorious hot bean water experience. And me, typing this at the speed of molasses in January and having to spell check regularly due to my brain stalling for lack of caffeine. You can save yourself the woes of my current day events which includes a different visit to the U of YT website researching new super automatic coffee makers. Why? Because this part sheared in half after about 3 weeks of normal use. When that happened, not only did my dog think we had an intruder breaking down a door, but also, it violently shot water inside the machine as well as out of the side all over the counter. I then decided to be a real adult and order the actual part from a Phillips “dealer” (two weeks waiting currently, no ship date yet, excellent). The real problem… I do believe the high pressure water shooting all over the internals of the machine may have fried some of the electrical components. The inside looks like it has aged 5 years in the past few months. As do I, because I have no coffee. I would like to make a suggestion that if someone is going to sell replacement parts and take my money, they at least should have one small idea of which parts will be under pressure and produce accordingly.

This part was shipped from Greece and came within a few days after ordering and weeks before the expected delivery date! The part worked very well, was a perfect fit.

My LatteGo works again and no longer leaks! This was a perfect replacement for the part, and it even looks like on this piece, the part where the original split (along the seam) seems to have been reinforced a bit. I was worried that it would take a month to get to me from Greece to the U.S. (East Coast), but I ordered it on Feb 14, and it arrived on Mar 1 (so 16 days). Faster than it said it would be. One note - I really struggled when installing the new bottom security clip, but that was my fault. Take note of how yours is currently before taking the original off. The valve needed to be rotated 90 degrees, and then it went on very easily. I was thinking the clip goes in the hole, but it doesn't, it goes along the sides of it. Thanks for the quick shipping!

The thermo block inlet connector broke after a successful installation. This version does not hold up to the pressure. I purchased this connector twice and both times it broke.

The piece fit correctly and worked for about 2-3 weeks and then split at the base coupling. I then ordered a new one from philips (had to pay shipping and wait). The parts look identical but the plastic is definitely different. I am giving it two stars as I did leverage gaskets and pin and those were extra through the philips site.

It worked, difficult to put holding pin back in. Wish it came with the other 2 seals required.

I nearly bought a new machine when my original kept tripping the GFCI breaker, but decided to open the back of my Philips 3200 Espresso Machine and found that there was a split in this plastic piece that was spraying a small amount of water onto the wires going into the boiler, which resulted in an electrical hazard and the GFCI tripping. It ended up being about a 15 minute fix once I knew the issue, and saved a bunch of money and waste throwing away a machine that could easily be fixed.
