How I unclogged the obstructed spout on our Nespresso Pixie coffee machine, made by DeLonghi. The pump was working, water pumped into the reservoir, but wouldn't come out the spout. Easy fix in 5 minutes.
This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact ru-vid.comUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.
I was about to dismantle my Nespresso Citiz (TUR mix TX 170) by looking at how-to videos, when I spotted your short explanation: it just worked and spared me a lot of time. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Thank you so much! My machine wasn't used in so many years, I thought it wouldn't work any more and get rid of it, but I tried to do this video and now I'm in the couch enjoying a cup of coffee thanks to you 😊
I am so glad I found this video! My Nespresso Pixie had a only dripped instead of having a steady stream through the spout, and the coffee would come out very watery with barely any crema. Also, I could see a lot of water dripping at the back into the container where the capsules fall after the extraction. I was scared to do it, thinking I would ruin the machine... But I tried it and now it works as good as new! No dripping at the back and a steady stream through the spout! Thank you so much for sharing!
Very useful video. I had just watched one where they took the whole machine apart so was happy to give this one a try. Just like in your video, lots on gunk came out and now the machine is working great. Thank you for your time puting this out here.
Great simple fix. Thanks for sharing. I had contemplated disassembling as shown in other RU-vid video's to clean mechanism from the other end which is difficult and complicated to access. Once you understand the basic engineering (or plumbing) involved, it's such an obvious fix. I also used a metal wire to facilitate clearing and unclogging of the nozzle - not sure if this was necessary. I also did a descale as suggested by one of the other comments. Worked for me. Works as good as new.
Merci beaucoup j'ai essayé plein de tutos mais rien à faire l'eau ne coule pas correctement alors que j'avais détartrer ma cafetière vous avez sauvé ma journée merci encore❤
Ok. I'll try that tomorrow. I've tried the ziplock bag, moving the water container back and forth, opening and closing the empty pod container rapidly--all to get rid of the air bubble that's supposed to be the problem. Finally gave up and went to bed which is when I saw your video. Tomorrow will be 4 days without coffee. 😱😱😱 Thank you for this. I suspect this may be the problem. In addition to the air bubble.
I back flushed my machine with hot water as you did, but I then took it out in the garden and back flushed it with the mains pressure hose. It fixed the problem as I had to buy a new coffee machine. . .
Maybe, I seem to remember a comment where it worked on another machine. But of course, my technique is only for the specific problem of a clogged spout.
Did this but now machine is flashing just the espresso light. twice, pause, twice, pause. Once when unplugged and plugged back in it kicked the pump on...but I did not have the water tank on at the time. ??? Did I kill it?
@@myroccbox8877 It sounds like it’s stuck in some mode. I’d check the manual to see what those flashing lights mean. I think you can restart it in a way that resets to factory defaults.
Did all this cleaning and still no water of coffee comes out.... Motor turns on but doesn't sound quite right.... 2012 Pixie but not made by DeLonghi. Looks similar and just slightly different..... hardly even gets used... I wonder if it makes sense to try and take it apart... I think I am done with Nespresso.... too expensive...
Sorry to hear. If motor sounds off, it might be that. Is water coming down the back into the overflow tray like mine was? It so that would indicate a clog in the spout. If not…
@@mbertoluzzi I'm pretty sure there is no clog. I used your procedure so many times and I never even got out what you did, so I don't think the machine was clogged at all. Two other videos had procedures to eliminate a possible air pocket which was the next potential issue. That didn't work either. I'll try everything again when I develop the patience, but I worked on it for quite a bit of time. Probably something internal. I may take off the sides and see what's in there before I trash it. I'm glad I don't have many cups left.... Thanks.
Are you saying it won’t turn on? Doesn’t sound good. Maybe some water got into the machine? I tried to be careful to angle the water direction out. Sorry to hear it.
@@mbertoluzzi the machine turn on, but when i click the button the water not coming out like before, but now not noise of trying, and after 5 seconds i been clicked, the buttons flashing, and i did it carefully, very weird
@@scottpeterson7246 Maybe try a system reset. Check your manual. I’d try the procedure to empty the pump, and the procedure to reset the water level to default settings. Good luck!
@@mbertoluzzi i tried yesterday again. i turned on the machine and just clicked the buttons and no any response. after like 20 minutes of clicked and turn off and on its suddenly make noise and going out water! :) that was little nightmare for 1 day i taught the water was over the machine, but its work now and success to made a coffee, so good tutorial! probably i did a mistake yesterday and some water going on (i have different capsule machine)
Oo, not sure what to say. I was careful in the vid to note that I gently tapped it upside down, not roughly, and careful to keep the angle so the water doesn’t flow back into the machine. Maybe let it dry out for a day and try turning on again?
