Do-it-yourself melitta coffee machine repair

What is a good and high-quality coffee machine for? Of course, for aromatic hot coffee in the morning. The brewing process of this wonderful drink is almost completely automated and requires minimal human intervention. The filling of the device implies the presence of many mechanical parts, electronic circuits, as well as a miniature hydraulic system. However, everything soon fails and these necessary devices are no exception. In the event of a breakdown of coffee machines, there are only two options: take it to the service or repair the coffee machine yourself.

1. Water supply interrupted. There is a blockage in the pipeline of the mechanism;
2. The coffee has acquired an unusual smell or taste. In this case, it is not always necessary to fix something with your own hands. Perhaps you just need to change the coffee tablets, and there is a very wide selection of them: Dolce Gusto - Dolce Gusto, Nestlé, Jacobs, etc. Alternatively, the filter of the coffee machine may be clogged. Cheap plastic can be another factor affecting the taste and smell of coffee. During operation, some parts of the machine heat up to 130 degrees, which can cause the plastic to melt;
3. Cold coffee. Most likely, your heating element has stopped working;
4. The espresso machine is not working. Many factors can affect this: the motor is broken, the pump does not work, the power cable is broken;
5. Water dosage exceeded (most often found in capsule coffee machines). Most likely, the breakdown lies in the engine or in the timer circuit.
6. The brewing time setting circuit does not work or the dosage into the cup is incorrectly adjusted. Of course, you need to focus on the model of the device and its brand, but a common reason is the improper operation of the engine control circuit, or one of its compartments.

If you are not sure that the repair of the coffee machine is within your power, then it is better to refer it to specialists. If the device is under warranty, then it is not worth disassembling it at all, it will instantly lose the warranty.

To repair the coffee machine, first you need to disassemble it. And how to do it correctly, step by step is described below.

1. It is necessary to find the back wall of the device, or rather the set screws. Unscrew with a screwdriver, pliers or whatever is at hand and is ideal for such work, set aside. It is worth noting that there may be several options for screws. They can be hidden, cruciform, or with a convex head;
2. The screws are removed, it is logical that the cover should be easily removed. However, if it cannot be removed, then there are hidden locks in the case. Most often these are ordinary plastic latches and they are located at the bottom of the back cover. From the outside, such a lock can be easily opened with a knife or a small screwdriver;
3. Finally, access to the "insides" of the machine has been obtained, it's time to start repairing it.

And so let's go in order. There is a blockage in the water supply pipe. In such coffee machines as: Delongee, Bork - Bork, Ariete - Ariete and others, cleaning is done using a long and thin rubber hose. It must be run along the duct and thereby break through the blockage. However, it will be much more effective to use special brushes on a flexible leg.

It is a little more difficult to clean the filter with your own hands. With frequent use of the coffee machine, the filter accumulates: scale, coffee residues, salt plugs, etc. Cleaning must be approached carefully, but the most important thing is to do it according to the instructions, otherwise you can violate the integrity of the part. In the process, it is allowed to use a soft swab sprinkled with alcohol. Rinse the filter thoroughly after cleaning.

If you are unable to solve the problem yourself, contact a Saeco espresso machine repair center.

The coffee machines of the firms Mulinex, Krups, Roventa, Saeko have another problem - water leaks. In them, the valve regulating the water supply is located practically in the filter. If the coffee does not stop pouring, most likely a worn valve is to blame, which leads to this phenomenon.

The valve cannot be repaired; in this case, only replacement with another new part is available. To understand whether the valve has broken, it is enough to pour coffee out of the machine, disassemble, rinse and inspect well for possible breakdown.

1. Initially, it is worth checking if everything is in order with the power supply. See if the cable is broken, check the grounding.
2. It also happens that household coffee machines produced in China simply lose contacts (they go away). Such cases were encountered with more famous brands: zauber, melitta, trevi. It is enough to check all the wire connections with the control circuit.
3. A common case for Senseo¸Siemens, Ufesa machines, they have low-quality thermostats built into them. To diagnose it, you need to remove one wire from its end and "ring" the contacts with a tester. If all is well, then the chain will be closed.
4. The heating element may also fail. Diagnostics is carried out in the same way as a thermostat. Replacing it with a new one is difficult, it will be easier to try to repair or buy a new coffee machine.
5. Very often, on the shelves next to the coffee machine, all the necessary accessories are sold that you will certainly need for the correct operation of the device. And for cleaning technical parts, it is definitely advised to buy special flexible brushes.

The principle of operation and repair of capsule coffee machines is slightly different from drip coffee machines. A small container of coffee powder is attached to the inside of the machine, the piercing mechanism is manually clamped. After use, the capsule is disposed of. Inside such devices, most often there are no temperature sensors, but there is an ordinary pump that runs on a timer. The water flow rate has been calculated in advance. If the water supply is carried out with the wrong dosage, then the timing circuit may have broken.

Repair of coffee makers often does not depend on the brand or model; in general, they differ only in nuances. This can be the shape, as well as the location of parts, size, different types of sensors. The very principle of operation of the coffee machine does not change.

Any professional inspection for breakage always starts with the cord. It makes no difference whether it is a capsule or drip coffee machine repair. Then the power board is checked (if any), it is worth noting that the coffee machine has a lot of filters, diode bridges, and also transistors. All this must be examined for burnout. This is the only way to recognize the true cause of the equipment malfunctioning.

The greatest difficulty is the hardware repair of Melitta coffee machines. In this case, it will inevitably require replacement of the main internal components that ensure the operability of the device. This includes grinding and water heating elements, thermostats, pipes, conductive hoses, sensors and much more. The repairman will need to determine the cause of the malfunction with one hundred percent accuracy and replace the exact component that has failed. The repair of Melitta espresso machines, however, includes checking other components as well. Decalcification, or cleaning of the hydraulic system, plays an important role. You may also need the following:
• complex cleaning (both external and internal);
• repair of the hydraulic system;

Melitta coffee machines have established themselves as reliable and easy-to-use coffee systems that are in great demand among housewives. Most of the breakdowns of Melitta coffee machines can be easily repaired, but you should not repair your Melitta coffee machine yourself, because in this complex device there are many hidden latches and fasteners, breaking which it will not be possible to put the coffee machine back together.

The engineers of our Service Center have been repairing Melitta coffee machines since their introduction on the market for systems for automatic coffee preparation. During this time, our specialists have gained invaluable experience in the repair of coffee equipment, which allows you to achieve excellent results in the repair of coffee machines.

Recommendations for use, which will help to avoid repairing the coffee machine:

• use osmosis purified water for making coffee (does not create scale)
• run the cleaning program regularly (according to the manufacturer's instructions)
• connecting the coffee machine to the electrical network at a safe distance (exclude water from entering the socket)
• do not allow foreign objects to enter the coffee grinder (buttons, nuts, sweets)
• place the coffee machine on a flat, horizontal, hard surface

To repair your Melitta coffee machine, you do not need to have any technical knowledge at all. All you need is a telephone receiver and our telephone number. Perhaps your coffee machine has not broken down, but simply does not understand what you want from it. We give a free consultation by phone, politely and efficiently. If, nevertheless, the coffee machine is faulty, we will coordinate the arrival of the master to your home or office, and our specialist will repair it for a reasonable price. For those who like to read, we have written an article about all kinds of malfunctions and breakdowns.

Almost all of our clients step on the same rake several times. Melitta Caffeo coffee machine:

1. the coffee grinder has stopped grinding
2. does not supply water
3. leak from under the coffee machine
4. puts everything into the pallet
5. does not turn on, does not turn off
6. pours coffee too slowly
7. coffee is not hot
8. does not froth milk
9. does not come out (does not pull out), the brew unit (brewing unit) is not inserted

In order to understand how to repair a coffee machine, you need to test it, make the correct diagnostics. Without correct diagnostics, you can only eliminate the malfunction for a short time. Since some parts break down due to the incorrect operation of other units. By replacing the wrong part, the result will be the same as at the beginning.

Do not be lazy to check visually the coffee beans that you put into the coffee machine. In most cases, the grinder breaks down due to poor quality grain. Sometimes it is not the grain itself that is to blame, but foreign objects that accidentally got into the bag with coffee. But we want to encourage you, in the Melitta coffee machines there is a mechanism in the coffee grinder that can prevent the combustion of the motor. If you hear an abnormal sound when grinding coffee beans, switch off the coffee machine immediately. Call us.

The grinder is silent at the moment when the grinding should take place. There are two options, either you have activated the preparation of ground coffee, or the motor is still faulty. There may also be an option with a faulty motherboard, but this is very rare.

As Melitta coffee machines are not equipped with a temperature control for brewing coffee. And you definitely noticed a difference in temperature from what it was before. Only one conclusion suggests itself, you too rarely carry out a decalcification program. Or run it without the appropriate chemical components. If you do not know or do not want to do this for any reason, you can call our specialist who will carry out the correct technical cleaning of the entire coffee machine. We estimate this service at only 2,500 rubles with all the chemical raw materials necessary for it.

There are a lot of problems associated with the brewing device. An incorrect position of the brewing unit indicates that one of the sensors is faulty. This can cause the coffee machine to malfunction. For example: grinding takes place, all the coffee is poured into the drip tray, no brewing takes place. Also, due to the incorrect position of the brew unit, it is impossible to remove it from the coffee machine. Here you definitely cannot do without our master.

Difficult installation of the brewing unit means that at the moment of flushing you knocked down its neutral position. If you look closely, you can see on the side where the round hole has two triangles. So these two triangles should look at each other, and not in different directions.

Coffee is not dispensed through the coffee spouts. In this case, everything happens as usual, the brewing unit is in the correct position, the coffee is ground, water starts to flow, and nothing comes out.If you notice that at the moment of water supply, the pump starts to work quieter and quieter. One of the options is clogged with the brew unit, it must be pulled out and thoroughly rinsed under running warm water. If it does not help, then the problem lies in the thermoblock, which is clogged with calcium (scale). It's easy to find out, try supplying water through a steam tap, if it is provided in your model. The lack of water clearly indicates a problem in the thermoblock, but on condition that the pump is running.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to describe all the breakdowns in one post. But we remind you that we have a phone where you can call us and get a free consultation. If you want to order a master to your home or office, you can fill out a very small feedback form on the main page.

Any electrical device can fail over time. Repairing coffee makers from Delonghi, Saeco or Krups is quite easy to do with your own hands. These kitchen appliances are considered one of the easiest to repair and operate.

Before you start repairing the device, you need to determine what exactly broke in it. This will greatly speed up and simplify the repair process. There are two types of coffee machines:

Their main difference is the working pressure. In drip coffee makers (Bosch - Bosch, Zelmer - Zelmer, Vitek - Vitek) hot water drips through the coffee filter, through which it passes into the cup, already being a fragrant drink. In an espresso, a stream of boiling water is poured into the cup, passing through a coffee tablet (compressed ground natural coffee). The advantage of using espresso machines - Electrolux, Binatone, Braun, Philips (Philips) and many others - is that they can work without a filter.

Capsule coffee machines for brewing coffee have a special container into which ground natural powder is poured. This allows brewing a drink with or without pressure. The key difference between these functions is that with professional espresso machines, you can make a frothy coffee.

Main problems coffee machines and coffee makers of domestic and professional type:

1. The water stopped flowing. Most likely, one of the pipes supplying water was simply clogged;
2. The coffee began to give off a strange smell or taste. In this case, it is not always necessary to repair the coffee makers yourself, perhaps you just changed the coffee tablets (they are Dolce Gusto - Dolce Gusto, Nestlé, Jacobs, etc.). Another reason can be a clogged filter or cheap material for the device. If the optimum water temperature for brewing coffee is 95 degrees, then the internal parts are heated to 125 and above. As a result, the cheap plastic can start to melt, imparting its taste to the drink;
3. Cold coffee. The heating element stopped working;
4. Incorrect dosage of water (found in capsule coffee makers). A breakdown can occur both in the engine and in the timer circuit;
5. The espresso machine does not turn on. There may be several reasons: breakdown of the engine, pump, problems with the power cord;
6. You cannot set the brewing or filling time of the cup. Depending on the type of coffee maker, this may be a breakdown of the time relay, control circuit, engine (or one of its compartments).

It is worth noting that after the intervention, warranty repairs will no longer be provided, so if you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to contact the branded service center.

In order to repair any coffee makers (Nespresso - Nespresso, Delongy), you will need to disassemble them first. Step-by-step instructions on how to do this:

1. There are set screws on the back of the coffee machine. They need to be untwisted and put aside. They can be of several types: hidden, cruciform and cone-shaped (often found in Indesite). They are removed with a screwdriver, pliers or other suitable tools;
2. If, after removing the screws, the case is not retracted, then it is secured with hidden locks.The latches are located at the bottom of the rear panel. They cannot be opened from the outside, so you have to pry them with a knife or screwdriver;
3. After removing the case, you can start repair work.

If the pipe is clogged at Delongey, Bork - Bork, Ariete - Ariete or other coffee makers, then you need to use a long thin rubber hose for repairs. It starts up along the duct and breaks through the blockage. Sometimes for such purposes, special brushes with a flexible leg are used, they allow you to clean the pipe and remove not only coffee, but also mineral deposits.

Cleaning the filter is a little more difficult. With frequent use, various debris accumulates on it: salt plugs, coffee dust, scale. It should be cleaned only according to the instructions, since otherwise, the integrity of the spare part may be damaged. In most cases, it is allowed to wipe it with a swab dipped in alcohol or other degreaser. Rinse the part thoroughly after rinsing.

Also, problems can be associated with the filter if water leaks from the coffee maker. This is often found in machines manufactured by Moulinex, Krups, Rowenta, Saego. A special valve is installed near the filter, which, after turning off the timer, turns off the water supply. If after a certain time the drink has not stopped flowing, then the cause is a malfunction of this element. The valve may wear out after frequent use, or it may simply not be able to handle the accumulated amount of coffee. To check and fix the breakdown, you need to disassemble the coffee machine, pour the coffee out of it and inspect the valve. Please note that it cannot be repaired, so the part changes immediately.

If the coffee maker Redmond, Spidem, Tefal, Siemens and others does not turn on, then urgent repair is required:

1. The first step is to check the power wire. It needs to be examined for an open circuit, and also to additionally check the grounding. It connects to the terminal block, so be careful when diagnosing;
2. Sometimes, household coffee machines made in China simply lose contacts. It also occurs in professional models (zauber, melitta, trevi). In this case, you need to check all the places where the wires are connected to the control circuit;
3. Many modern cars (Senseo¸Siemens, Ufesa) sin with a low-quality thermostat. To diagnose it, you need to remove one wire from its end and check the contacts with a tester. With a serviceable element, the circuit must be closed;
4. Also, the coffee maker may not turn on if the heating element needs repair. It is called in the same way as a thermostat. For many models (Jura Impressa, Miele, Gaggia, Butler) it is made in the form of a disk, so it will be rather difficult to change it, it is easier to try to repair a part or buy a new car;
5. There are also certain secrets to cleaning the engine. In the departments of caring products, special brushes are sold that will help clean different parts of the motor without damaging the fragile material. It should be noted that in AEG, Solis or Unit coffee makers, the motor has several compartments, each of which is cleaned separately.
