Verify that all water line fittings are tight and the O-rings on the replacement unit are properly seated.

To maintain the health of the new part, perform regular descaling of your machine using De'Longhi-approved descaling solutions. This prevents mineral buildup, which is the primary cause of thermoblock failure.
