14 major failures coffee machines and their solutions

water flows out of the horn

If you find that the coffee flowing at the junction of the cone to the body, it's not a very serious fault that can be easily repaired with his own hands.Rather, the water flows from the fact that the sealing ring is obstructed at the joint so-called "nose" and a coffee machine body.Clogging can occur due to anything: fat, wet cake, coffee, foreign objects, etc.In this case, to repair You only need to wash the horn and reassemble.

If the coffee flows from the fact that the seal is damaged (cracked or torn), you need to replace it with a new one.Here it is necessary to draw your attention to the fact that the O-ring must be changed at exactly the same characteristics.If you just look at it-yourselfers like the seal on the form (for example, from car parts), it is not necessary to put it, becausetires can be made from which such a product may be insufficiently resistant to temperature or not so elastic.The same requirement applies to the rest of consumables!

Just draw your attention to the fact that with such a repair coffee machines with their own hands is necessary before a new seal to check the filter cone.Perhaps the filter is clogged with coffee deposits and failure has occurred due to the fact that the water pressure was looking for a weak spot break.If the filter is not cleaned on time, you may experience more serious malfunctions.

By analogy, you can repair or replace any other gland, which flows.They saw that the coffee machine ran out of water?Do not be afraid to repair the problem area.The main thing to do it in time, until the water reached the wiring and the electronic unit.Timely repairs can save you from electrical shock and equipment from complete failure.Here it should be noted that the reverse situation - when the coffee machine does not pump water, may be due to failure of the piston, located above the brewing unit.It is also possible to try to repair their own hands after a visual inspection.

There was a noise from inside, from the horn pressure decreased

If you notice that the water flows from the coffee machine is weak and at the same time there was a stranger whistling or noise, then most likely either the clogged mesh filter in the cone.Rinse it will not be difficult, not to mention the fact that such repairs will not take long.Sell ​​special tools for cleaning coffee machines or coffee makers from fat.You can also gently removing specks perform a toothpick.The main thing - the repair of the coffee machine on their own not to scratch the inner tank, because even a small scratch will delay milled coffee that promotes rapid clogging of equipment.

If the coffee machine noise and bad pours coffee, it may even reason is that the filter becomes clogged due to too strong grinding coffee beans.Repairs begin with, open the tank with coffee beans and check the grind.If you see coffee dust, adjust the amount of grinding by hand (in many coffee machines have this feature).And the last reason of ambient noise - internal pump wear mechanism, resulting in a coffee machine noise, buzzing and bad pours water.In this case, to repair a weak pressure pump can only be replaced.

Noisy + complete absence of work

If your coffee machine rustled and brews the coffee, then there is need to find the cause of your own failure.The first step is to determine if there is water heating and its supply to the heated state.If the coffee machine picks up the water and heats it, but coffee does not issue most likely cause of failure in the formation of air pockets.In this case, the repair is to ensure that hot water must pass through kapuchinator that should fix the problem.If the coffee flows out of the spout a weak jet, try to rinse the entire system with special detergent, becauseall signs point to a clogged nozzle.It did not help that?It is better to include non-working coffee machine to a service center, asthere has arisen electronics failure, the repair of which is unlikely you will be a force.

way, clogging the system electronic control unit must own signal, an error or an exclamation mark on the display (in the instruction manual is to be described).Sometimes the error may be off due to the fact that the defective corresponding sensor, which must be checked and replaced if necessary!

not work

button If the coffee machine does not respond to button presses or other possible team, there may be several reasons for the fault.First, check that the water and coffee are in suitable containers, asmost modern coffee machines will not be included in the "idle" position.Secondly, look closely at the display, which can immediately point to a specific error.After a visual inspection can move on to a more serious repair - remove the front panel and use a multimeter to ring all the buttons on the availability of food.To learn how to use a multimeter, we already told you.

Sometimes buttons do not work due to the fact that before this they poured coffee and now they are sticky.Remove sticky dirt can be a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.All done, but it was not possible to establish the button on the coffee machine?It is best to contact the experts, becausethe problem may lurk in the electronic control unit, and in this case, an order of magnitude more difficult to repair the coffee machine.Those who are "friends" with the tester and know how to verify the integrity of the chain, we recommend consistently check all elements of the scheme.Maybe the coffee machine does not work due to the fact that the fuse blows or out of order any resistors.Replace broken component on the board is easy, if you know how to do it.

No power

If the coffee machine does not work at all, we recommend first of all to act by analogy with the instructions to repair the iron hands.First, check the integrity of the cable and power outlet.After that, pay attention to whether the coffee machine door is closed.In the majority of current models is protected by the inclusion with the door open and the brewing unit may not start technique for this reason.If seemingly no apparent reason you could not find, start disassembling the housing and turn the multimeter to ring all the regions of the chain from the electrical cord to the thermal protection elements.We could not find fault?It is better to include a coffee machine that broke down on repair service center, especially if it is under warranty.

Technology sees no coffee

sometimes happens is that the coffee machine does not see the coffee, although it filled up the tank.This happens for many reasons: out of order control unit, the engine does not work or is faulty kofevod with funnel.Here, again, help to find fault tester and visual inspection.If you find that the internal mechanism of a coffee filled with dust, then broke kofevod bringing the coffee dust got into the engine compartment.Repair of coffee machines in this case boils down to is that you need to replace the engine, but if this is not feasible, easier to buy a new coffee machine.

This also would like to paint another "disease" coffee makers and their counterparts - lack of supply of coffee.Such a problem may occur due to the fact that the brewing unit is clogged or freeness coffee beans are too small.If your coffee machine is not pouring coffee or delivers too little, try to establish a greater degree of grinding to be cleaned or custard device.

illuminate lamp or an error on the display If coffee

an error (as in the photo below), or lighted display on the front panel (flashing light), first check the operating instructions.Manufacturers of coffee machines in the booklet have to specify all possible errors, their causes and ways to repair their own hands.

The most common problem occurs because of a failure of a sensor.In this case, you can try to repair the coffee machine by thorough cleaning and rinsing system.Did not help?Check, before the end of all containers are inserted and whether the float in the tank with the water running.Usually, a thorough visual inspection of and familiarity with the instruction manual helps to quickly repair the damage.With the coffee machine errors much easier.If you have even lost a little book, which lists all the error codes to help you online!On the official websites of most modern brands of coffee machines provided with a table with all the possible errors in the art depending on the model, which will carry out repairs in the home faster.

Not heats water

very common to see a variety of complaints in the forums, they say the machine not hot, but it works or just slightly warm, and does not produce steam.Here, as in the case of a malfunction of the dishwasher is likely broken heating element - PETN.Besides heating water may be absent due to failure of the controller.All you can do - ping heater and controller multimeter that will help you find the problematic circuit path for its future replacement.Weak water heating, in fact, as a situation where the coffee machine does not heat the water at all, a very common because of the poor quality of drinking water (it is too hard).

faulty kapuchinator

Very often it happens that the technology does not work kapuchinator, resulting in coffeenot a bad whips whisk milk and milk does not froth.Usually, the coffee machine is not foams for two reasons: poor milk or clogged air channels that create foam.The milk should be pasteurized, fat content of from 2.5 to 3.5%, not powder.With regard to clogging of air channels, it may occur due to poor maintenance of the coffee machine.Once you make coffee with whipped milk, be sure to rinse kapuchinator clean water for 2-3 minutes.If you ignore the sink, over time will clog the channels, and instead of foam coffee machine will supply the hot milk, which in any case would entail a little time-consuming repairs at home.

Most modern models of coffee machines include auto-washing.If it does not, it should be very careful to be cleaned.Please note that you should not use hard or sharp objects for washing the air ducts.If you damage the hole kapuchinator may even cease to function.

Another similar reason - the coffee machine does not suck milk when the desired mode.In this case, we recommend you to check the pump and delivery system of milk, which is likely to happen blockage.

dirty filter in the water tank

Replacement filter for water in the coffee machine - a very demanding job.If you incorrectly replace the filter, may form an air pocket in the system, the pump starts idling, and then fails.By the way, work the pump idle can cause the coffee machine that makes a noise, but it did not work.

correct replacement filter in the coffee machine is as follows:

• turn the filter inlet and outlet up;
• completely fill it with water from the tap;
• pour water into the corresponding tank maker;
• perform the installation.

no water flows through the spout or the pressure is too small? Before repair also try to see how clean the filter is in the tank.

not shown the presence of water

If the coffee machine does not respond to the water, even though the tank is full, most likely the case in the corresponding sensor - float.Check that the float works as follows: pour water into the tank and see if the float floated upward.If the sensor remains at the bottom, it can be filled or clogged with waste water.Try to clean the work area of ​​the float, and the sensor is disassembled and dry.Did not help?Replace the battery with a new one that will repair all.

reason that moisture enters the float and causing the machine not see the water in the compartment may be in the fact that you pour the hot water.Doing this is not necessary, sincein this case air escapes from the float, and when the liquid cools, there is a vacuum, which sucks the water into the sensor.

Broke gauge

Sometimes when operating the coffee machine there is failure of the pressure control system - gauge.In this case, you can try to repair the damage, clearing up, which goes to the pressure gauge.If repair the coffee machine was not completed successfully, then you need to look for a pressure gauge with the same characteristics and to make a substitution.

not grinds grain

Sometimes it happens that the coffee does not grind the coffee at work.Here repairs boils down to what you need to disassemble the body, find the coffee grinder and thoroughly clean it.As a rule, high-quality treatment helps to solve the problem and repair the damage that simple.A similar failure - when the grinder does not capture the grain can be solved very simply, only need to correctly adjust the degree of grinding.If and when this mechanism does not take coffee, have a better contact to the master.

Problems with coffee capsules

Well, the last thing I would like to tell you - why do not pierce the capsule coffee machine or as they are called pills.piercing mechanism is quite simple, so, most likely, you need not repair the coffee machine, and recommendations that will pierce the capsule correctly.It all depends on how you send the tablet in piercing the receiver.You must accurately throw the pill, so that it fell exactly on piercing the surface, then gently press the lever.The slightest misalignment can cause the mechanism not squeezes a pill or not throws it back.With proper piercing the result should be the same as in the picture.

That's all that I wanted to tell you about how to repair the coffee machine with their own hands.We hope that now you know why the coffee machine did not work, noisy and give the error!If you have not found the answer to your question, ask it in the comments or the relevant category - "FAQ"!
