Hi, sorry for the late reply. In fact, just recently I had a case where a person was trying to descale a coffee machine and poured in a bad cleaner that clogged the water pipes. Almost all the pipes had to be disconnected. I cleaned the wide pipes with a small brush, and the thin pipes remained almost clean, I just had to push out a few pebbles with a wire.
I have a problem, sometimes when I start my machine it crashes. I have ECO and exclamation mark triangle ? When i restart from back button it's same ?? After a long period of time with the machine turned off, does it work everywhere?
Hi I have a DeLonghi Prima Donna ESAM 6900 with a similar issue. It’s not picking up the magnet in the float of the water canister. However, when I touch and pull a magnetized screw driver to the sensor it senses it and the “fill water” message goes away. Should I replace the sensor? Thanks for posting your video. Very helpful.
Great video but no need to strip down buy a bottle of delonghi eco multiclean of amazon put about half a bottle in milk throther and turn machine to milk cleans it out a treat works perfect again make shore to flush through after with clean water
Hi, I do own a Dinamica ECAM 350.55 and since yesterday, 10.12, when I try to make any milk coffees or even hot milk, I get ONLY hot steam (few hours ago I descaled the machine, but the issue still persists). Is just making a weird noise and feel/see just the steam.... (no milk is pulling through the tube) Is there anything that I can try to do or.... time to call for some pro repair? P.S I suspect also a defective milk jug, even if based on the visual inspection no idea what could be damaged...
I have Magnifica S, also showed fill water tank. The float in the tank was working fine. Opened the machine, removed the magnetic switch - still water tank empty light stayed on, connected switch pins (where the switch plugs in) - also no change. So I have no idea what the problem was and sent to repair shop.
HI ! My de longhi tells me the red water sensor is flashing, as if there was no water...but instead the tank is full!! so it crashes. Do you know how to solve it? Thank you !
Hi, I have the opposite issue, the machine can run empty on water without sensing it. I've checked the water tank and the float is moving. Is it possible that the same sensor produces the issue?
It's a sensor in water tank failure or machine sensor. Just have it in my own machine. 1. Might be stuck sensor on the machine (just like on the video) - small chance 2. Stuck float in water tank - medium chance 3. Float in water tank is moving but the magnet is not strong enough (it demagnetised during all those years) - replace water tank - medium chance
@@MC-zu5lj thanks for the reply. Spoilers: it was the water tank magnet. After I got a new tank it worked. Of course I changed the sensor first because why a magnet would go wrong? :)
Thanks for the video. On the statistics mode-- counting the number of coffees. Is this number for single espressos? And assuming it is, when I make a coffee and press the 2 espresso button, does that count as 2 units in the statistics? My 10 year old machine has a huge number and there's not way it's correct unless it's counting a 2 espresso button (bottom left on the machine) as 2 units.
Before doing this: I had different model but same issue. Make sure the black 'rectangle' piece inside the tank (in mine it's in the middle, at the bottom), can move up and down freely on its 'rails'. I nudged it first, then noticed a bubble of air above it, so I slightly tilted the filled tank a bit. The air bubble came out and the black 'rectangle' floated back up to the top, with the machine recognising a full tank again.
Hello, thanks for your videos….😊 how are you ? Fine? Please you can help me? , the function of the electrovalve is to open or close, if it has On, let it pass, if it doesn't have ON, block it. but this one seems to have a drainage tube in its body. I have ecam 610, do you know? And RÉSISTANCE DE VAPORISATION at its entrance there is a tube that has a leak because it seems to gain a lot of pressure. I already changed the oring, I already cleaned the RÉSISTANCE DE VAPORISATION inside, but still problem with leakage….. I'm already without ideas….. 😢
Hi! May I ask you something ? How can I adjust the grinding time? The dial front button is set on maximum but my coffe machine is grinding for 5 seconds. I have at work the same model and time is 7 seconds of grinding. Because of this, the quality of my coffe is inferior than other one. Thank you in advance.
The grinding time depends on the size of the coffe. Is you manually set bigger size of the coffe (long press espresso button - start, after the amount is reached press again-stop). The bigger coffee for maximum volume grinds for almost 10s.
I had the same problem all i did was take the top cable off for the front panel controll on the motherbord and cleaned it with electrical cleaner and it worked
Thanks for the great video! I am experiencing an issue with my Magnifica S espresso machine. Seemingly at random, but quite frequently, the water that should flow from the coffee dispenser instead flows directly from the bottom into the drip tray. This happens both during startup, when the dispenser goes through its initial rinse cycle, and when I press the button to perform a rinse. Unlike in your case, the hot water flows only to the drip tray and not in the waste container. When I attempt to make coffee, the machine starts pumping water, but after a few seconds, it switches to the cleaning and emptying phase for the infuser without dispensing any coffee. The ground coffee accumulates as powder in the waste container. Sometimes, I can temporarily resolve the issue by performing multiple rinses, but only in 50% of the cases am I able to obtain the desired coffee. On some occasions, however, the machine works correctly right from startup and throughout the coffee dispensing process. Do you think I should replace the pump or the mechanic valve as you did? Thanks again
I have disassembled everything including the mechanical valve to check if everything was okay. The observations are that there are no o-rings consumed, as well as that I see the hot water coming into the mechanical valve but then exiting directly from the little pipe that goes in the steam dispenser/mechanism, and from it the hot water flows from its bottom which is going to the drip tray. For some reasons, the hot water does not go through the infuser but it exit directly from the mechanical valve. As I have not seen cracks or orings consumed in the mechanical valve disassembly, I'm thinking about if there is not enough strength for the electrical motor to push the infuser up and somehow preventing the mechanical valve to work as designed. If you have any view on it it will be great😊
@@adamphillips9954 Hi, yes, I solved by buying a kit of o-rings and replaced all of them. Since then the machine works as new, great success :) Even if I did not see any cracked o-ring, they were probably more stiff and they let water through. I bought the kit in amazon.
My Hot water dispenser not working. When you press the button, it says hot water preparation underway. The pump makes a clicking noise, like it wants to start. The hot water dispenser works when rinsing and descaling, just not when pressing the button to dispence 👀
I’m getting the same problem. I connect the milk jug and press cappuccino and the display says “preparation underway” and makes a pump/click noise, but nothing happens and gets stuck. Was this the same problem you had? Did you manage to fix it? Been trolling websites and vids but nothing related to this model and problem. Cheers
@@adamfarren-price2851 it was the same problem i had, you need to remove the side panels in order to take out the nozzle that the milk container connects to, and clean it out, because the hole in it gets clogged up
I had this problem on a Magnifica approximately 1 week after a descale cycle all of a sudden there was a loss of pressure in the steam. I did the usual clean the milk nozzles out soaked in the milk cleaner fluid, removed any blockages, cleaned the O-rings put silicon grease on etc that did not work. What did work though was a manual descale of the steamer the power of the water / steam jetting out afterwards was ferocious. I think the built in descale function isn't thorough enough for areas with really hard water. The way I did it was fill the water tank with descaler tablet, then every 5 minutes turned the hot water knob for 15 seconds, then pressed the steamer buttom, then turned the knob again for steam for 30 seconds, turned it off. Waited 5 minutes then repeated this cycle over and over. It took about two hours, it's a right hassle but it works you see lumps of scale in the bottom of the cup. Makes me think the inbuilt descale cycle dislodges scale which blocks the nozzle. So a manual one as described throughly flushes it out.
I was skeptical with your solution because how could have delonghi messed up a cleaning procedure. I had nothing to loose so I tried it and it worked. Thanks for the idea
Hi, Thanks a lot for all your vid I bought my DeLonghi Magnifica XS from Costco MN 120 v - 60 HZ 1250 W Type ECAM 22110 B P= 1.5 MPa (15 bar) When I took it to North Africa and by mistake I plugged it in 220 V I smelled little burning. I still can turn it on I can hear the coffee grinding all screen look good with green and yellow light but it doesn't dispense water nor a coffee. Please help.
