Where can I buy SM8889/00 parts that ship to the US?

[billheav]

Hello everyone, does anyone know where I can buy parts for my SM8889/00 that ships to the US? Somewhere on this site I found an old list of Saeco supplier from 2007 and I found this vendor and it appears they ship to the US, is anyone familiar with this vendor? https://www.ersatzteileshop24.at/kaffeemaschine-ersatzteile.html Thanks for reading

I dont know this shop here in Vienna, website seems to be ok and no fake, but reviews are really bad, if something wents wrong.

Which parts exactly do you need for your SM8889/00? Many parts are universal and you may be able to purchase them directly from you.

Please don't laugh but I don't know yet. You're right I did a little more research and I did find some parts available in the US. Here is my situation, I made an earlier post on the Xelsis SM section: https://saeco-support-forum.de/threads/sm8889-00-repair.65393/ I'm trying to determine if I should accept Saeco/US offer or should I keep my SM8889/00 and repair myself. Part availability is crucial of course and I'm trying to make the right decision.
Thanks for your reply and if you have any further recommendations it would be appreciated.

First decalcificate with an amidosulfonic acid decalcifier. Than completely disassemble the brew group and clean it thoroughly. Replace all seals in the brew group and water inlet paths. And if problems persist, consider the “downgrade” offer from Saeco/US.
