The gasket of the brewing unit has to withstand heavy usage. Especially the large O-Ring on the piston needs replacing from time to time. Follow this guide to replace the gasket.
These instructions may also help with other Saeco models and with coffee makers from Philips and Gaggia—they are all made by the same manufacturer and have a very similar design.

Take this opportunity to carefully replace the two O-rings on the support valve. The larger one is at the top. These two seals are stressed during every brewing process. Therefore, lubricate them with food-safe silicone grease.

Follow the steps in reverse order to reassemble your device.

I like the statement that this guide works for many machines that use the Saeco brew group, but it would be great if that were somehow in the title, too. When checking to see whether a guide on this brew group was written, I first skipped this guide because I thought "minuto" referred to a "mini" Saeco.
Thank you for this hint. I placed three links to Saeco, Philips and Gaggia coffeemakers.

Hello all, I have a saeco minuto model HD8867. I have o. Screen error 23 but it feel like error 4. I have entered in test menu and all ar on parameters. Is there another way to reset this machine?
@florinpopp16782 This is an issue with the "CoffeeSwitch" for either espresso or coffee. I have two informations for you,both in german, you need a translation app: iFixit and a forum.

Hello VauWeh, Thank you for your response. My model HD8867 does not have a "CoffeeSwitch". I have seen this and checked for it. I want to mention that I was able to go in Test mode and test all the components, and all fine. I have found this morning another hint. that I can maybe go back to factory parameters and delete some errors from memory that maybe it is hanging. If not I dont have other ideas.
