Step 3

  • The top cover is fastened with oval head screws. Unscrew them.
  • These screws have an oval head that makes them look like rivets (picture 2). You need to use a special bit - also available at iFixit - for their removal. Here a DIY guide. If the right bit is not available, it could be done with a pair of needle nose pliers. Jura wants to keep us out of our own machines!!!

Great and clear guide which helped me take apart my device with ease. Question, what type of failure mode does the device exhibit when this needs replacing? My Jura IMPRESSA won’t output any water when cleaning is selected. Unsure if this might be the cause.
