Coffee machines are now widely used. They make coffee automatically in a short time, making them convenient and easy to use. However, they can encounter some malfunctions that cause them to stop or make poorly. Therefore, we will highlight some common coffee machine malfunctions.
Coffee machine malfunctions
There are many reasons why a coffee machine malfunctions. People search for the cause of the malfunction and how to fix it, and this is what we will discuss in the following lines:
1. The stop button light is flashing.
- Turn off the water to the pipes: Make sure the water is connected and running.
- Too much water drawn into the hot water tap: Turn the machine off and then turn it back on after 10 seconds.
- Check the water level in the boiler and make sure it is adequate. You can determine this by measuring the water level from the front of the machine.
- If the stop button continues to flash, repeat the previous step again.
- Until the machine light goes off and the right amount of water is filled, then wait until it reaches the desired temperature.
2. The milk is not frothed.
- Low steam pressure: Ensure the machine is operating at a boiler pressure of 1 bar.
- Steam nozzle is clogged: Clean the coffee maker thoroughly and make sure nothing is clogging it.
- Using poor quality milk: You should change the type of milk and choose a high-quality one.
- The milk used has been boiled before: The milk jug must be cleaned, then some fresh milk must be used.
3. Cold coffee
- The machine does not reach the appropriate operating temperature: Make sure the temperature is connected to the machine and wait a quarter of an hour or until the machine reaches the maximum temperature. This can also be confirmed using the machine's thermometer.
- Filter baskets are not hot: Install the filter basket in the group handle and pump hot water through it.
- Permanently install the filter basket in the group handle and do not remove it until the end of the day during cleaning.
- Using cold cups: Cups should be warmed before use.
4. Distributes coffee very quickly
- Coffee in the wrong filter holder: Make sure you are using the correct filter basket.
- Grind setting too coarse: Set grind to fine.
- The coffee in the filter holder is not well tamped: Empty the milk from the grouphead and refill it from the grinder with more tamped coffee.
- Slow coffee distribution
- Blockage in the grouphead: The grouphead and the pipes around it must be cleaned daily to remove any blockages.
- Large amount of coffee in the filter basket: Make sure you are using the correct filter basket.
- Low operating pressure pump: The water is pressurized by the grouphead and the indicator is checked to ensure that the pressure is at least 9 bar.
- The coffee in the filter holder is too pressurized: Remove the milk from the grouphead and fill it back into the grinder with finely pressed coffee at a lower pressure.
5. It is difficult to fill (Group handle) and install it in (grouphead)
- Large amount of coffee in the filter basket: Make sure you are using the appropriately sized filter basket.
- Gasket damage: Contact technical support to replace the gasket.
- Coffee buildup: The machine should be cleaned of any coffee buildup daily.
- Filter baskets are damaged: Contact technical support to replace the filter basket.
- Gasket damage: Contact technical support to replace the gasket and obtain a new one.
6. Leaking from the front part under the drip tray
- Clogged drip tray/waste tray: Remove the drip tray, clean the tray and waste tube of any coffee grounds and debris using a damp cloth.
Put hot water in the waste bin until you get a color without impurities.
7. Leaking from the back of the machine
- Boiler overflow: Turn off the machine immediately and contact technical support.
8. The coffee level is not suitable for adding coffee.
- Dose setting on the touchscreen is incorrect: Device shutdown immediately. Contact technical support.
- Selecting the wrong button on the touch screen: Review the user manual and the icons available on the screen.
9. Water level is not displayed.
- The machine does not display the water level after filling the tank: This may be due to a sensor problem or a foreign object clogging it.
- This fault can be solved by disassembling the sensor and drying all components.
- There is a fault in the pressure gauge that controls the pressure in the power machine. The problem lies in the tube that connects directly to the gauge. The pressure gauge can be replaced at a reasonable price and can be easily replaced with another one.
10. The coffee machine is noisy.
If you notice that the machine is making abnormal noises while preparing coffee, there may be a blockage in the mesh in the horn or filter. All you have to do is disassemble it and clean the clogged parts.
- The best way to do this step is by having coffee machine cleaners.
- If you are using coarse coffee and the filter does not handle particles, it must be cleaned well, and check the way the coffee is ground. Some coffee machines have a feature that grinds the coffee to the appropriate amount.
11. The buttons on the control panel do not work.
This malfunction occurs in multi-function coffee machines that have a display screen. If you press the buttons but the machine does not turn on, there are likely several reasons, including the following:
- Ensure that the coffee is poured into the tank and that the water is in the desired place.
- Look at the screen to make sure it is set correctly, it just has the wrong code.
- Clean the buttons well from dirt and grease that can cause several buttons to be pressed at once.
12. No power supply
- If the coffee machine is not working, make sure it is connected to electricity and check that all wires are intact..
- I put coffee in the reservoir but the coffee maker still won't work. This could be due to a damaged control unit and internal motor.
- Or if coffee makers are not successful with the funnel, parts should be checked for damage and check for excess coffee inside the container or in the motor itself.
How do I clean my coffee maker?
Add water to the machine bowl until it is half full, then add some white vinegar and finish it to the end.
Place a paper filter in the basket to remove any impurities or messages related to water and dirt.
What is the pressure of an espresso machine?
