Almost anyone who's owned a Breville Dual Boiler machine has experienced the signature steam boiler probe leak. It's likely you've bought a seal kit and thought replacing the outer seals would work, only to find that the outer seals can't fix an inner seal leak. So like many people out there, you think that you just have to replace the probe, but then have to buy them as a set because the world doesn't like to only give you just that one thing you need. 

If you've inspected the probe and there's no visible cracks or breaks in it, chances are very high that you just need to replace that pesky inner seal, and these are the ones you need. 15 of them. So you can fix your machine and the machine your friend has who has the same issue. And then 3 more machines.  

The best way to tell if you have an inner probe seal leak is if you see steam and/or water spitting out of the top center of the probe, right where the metal shaft is.  

To get to the inner seal, you'll need to remove the offending probe (we recommend you do them all while you're at it):

• Carefully pop the small e-clip on top off onto a towel so that it doesn't bounce away and become lost. 
• Slide the ceramic sheath up to reveal the pesky villain underneath that spits at you from inside your machine.
• If the seal isn't visible, it's likely stuck under the sheath. Use a pin to get it out.
• Slide the new seal up the probe and into place, then using something blunt, push it underneath the ceramic sheath, pull the sheath down and reinstall the e-clip with a grippy pair of pliers while still over a towel so that you don't lose it in case it falls.

 **A quick disclaimer**

I love free things, we all do, and that's why I offer free postage on some of my listings. I make it a habit to send your orders through the post office directly, rather than dropping it into a Post Box where they can sometimes get stuck in the mail bag. Please understand however that if you choose the free shipping option, there is no tracking number. If you opt for free postage and your order doesn't arrive, I can't be held liable. It's rare, but it can happen.

I take photos of all orders before I ship them out and am happy to send you yours as proof.

To avoid this, I recommend using either the standard trackable mail option or even the Express post option if you need your order in a hurry. They might not be free, but they're trackable.

Thanks for your support and understanding,
