The O-ring in the Philips 4300 series coffee machine is a critical sealing component that serves several purposes:
1. Preventing leaks: Water and coffee in the coffee machine need to flow, and the O-ring ensures that they do so without any leakage.
2. Avoiding clogs: The O-ring prevents coffee grounds, debris, and other impurities from entering the machine's pipes, reducing the risk of blockages.
3. Enhancing durability: O-rings are typically made from high-performance rubber or silicone materials, which provide excellent durability and resistance to wear, thereby increasing the lifespan of the coffee machine.

2. Clogging: Coffee grounds, debris, or other impurities commonly accumulate in components like the grinder, filter, or water pipes. The presence of the O-ring prevents these impurities from flowing further into the pipes. If the O-ring fails, it could result in a clogged coffee machine.
3. Excessive noise: Unusual noise emitted by the coffee machine during operation could be a sign of O-ring deformation or aging, causing increased friction when the machine operates.
