Review on Saeco 996530007754 12000142 Ulka Pump by Matt Hamilton

The original pump in my Delonghi ESAM3300 failed after 5 years. All in all this piece has been very durable - we have 5-6 cups a day at home and the machine is used almost daily. It was out of warranty and there was nothing to lose, so I decided to google YouTube for instructions on how to replace the pump. I identified the problem with the pump because very little water was coming out of the brew cycle and the machine wasn't making as loud a noise as usual. The item I ordered fits perfectly, so R&R is easy. The car works like new again.
