In detail: do-it-yourself saeco odea coffee machine repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
In order for a high-quality Saeko coffee machine to serve for a long time and without problems, it is necessary to use it correctly and maintain it correctly. However, this household appliance cannot last forever. Breakdowns or malfunctions can, at a certain moment, disable the unit for the production of a fragrant and invigorating drink. What will help in this situation? Only competent and high-quality repair of Saeco coffee machines.
The range of factors that cause breakdown of this type of household appliances include:
sloppy service;
improper operation;
the use of unacceptable varieties of raw materials;
incorrect parameter setting.
Most often, equipment repairs may be required due to improper operation of Saeco equipment. Sometimes the breakdown is provoked by the use of coffee beans of precisely those varieties that absolutely cannot be used in these models. In addition, malfunctioning of the coffee machine can be caused by incorrect parameter settings. The photo clearly shows what is happening with the unit in this situation.
Since Saeko coffee machines belong to the category of rather whimsical devices, it is optimal to entrust their repair to highly qualified professionals. However, a number of faults can be eliminated by yourself. These failures include:
elimination of the formed plaque;
the need to clean the cappuccino maker;
restoration of the lamp on the switch;
elimination of the increased noise level during the operation of the unit.
For example, you can do it yourself to remove limescale deposits from your Saeco espresso machine. To do this, it is enough to use a special video as an instruction. The elimination of the problem is accompanied by the use of special tablets and liquids. You can also use other compositions that help to remove residual oils from the internal structure of the unit.

You can clean the cappuccino maker yourself. For this, it is recommended to use special tools. The photo shows the most effective formulations for carrying out this kind of work.
It is also very important for the owners of such household devices to take into account that the repair of the Saeko coffee machine can be omitted if diagnostics are carried out in a timely manner. It is also worth using only clean water during the preparation of the product. There is no need to ignore the instruction. By following the rules in place, you can avoid malfunctions.
The user can repair the switch with his own hands if it stops working. Sometimes it is enough to check the correct connection of the Saeko coffee machine to the network. The photo shows perfectly how the connection should look like, ideally.
Another commonplace malfunction is the inability to pour a drink. To eliminate the problem, sometimes it is enough just to check the correct installation of the capsule in the device. The lid in the brew area must be tightly closed and the water container must be completely filled with liquid. If the pump is operating too loudly, you should check the correct position of the container with water. In this case, the container must also be filled. Sometimes it is necessary to descale the components of your Saeco espresso machine. How to do this work can be seen in the photo.
A self-repair unit from the manufacturer Saeco can be made when:
the coffee is barely warm;
water flows from the device;
the mechanics does not function.
If the drink prepared in your Saeco espresso machine is not hot, it is recommended to warm up the cup first. During this manipulation, you should check whether scale has formed. In the photo you can see how this procedure is performed.Self-repair of the device can also be carried out in the event of a water leak. The Saeco-branded device sometimes accumulates liquids in the compartment reserved for used capsules. In this situation, you will need to evaluate the correct installation of the capsule in the coffee machine.
If the leak is not eliminated by this method, do not experiment any more. It is best to contact a service center specializing in the repair of Saeco espresso machines. Experts recommend that you give up the temptation to open the body of equipment on your own. Such a decision can result in irreparable consequences for the owner of the device. Disassembling a Saeco machine requires skill and experience. Otherwise, the equipment may be irretrievably damaged and broken.
Greetings to everyone who has visited this coffee machine repair site. Today we will talk about such an apparatus as Saeco odeaGiro Plus. The cause of the breakdown, although not, here is more likely a customer complaint - the coffee machine does not brew coffee and the indicators on the left side of the control knob flash alternately in yellow.
If you try to start the coffee machine, then we will hear the operation of the brewing unit for a few seconds, and then this error appears.
The assumption is that there are some malfunctions in the sensors of the brewing unit.
Suggested solutions are to pull out the brewing unit and see what's there and how.
The brewing unit is located on the right side of the coffee machine, behind a door. You can remove it after removing the container for the waste cake by pulling it towards you. If the brewing unit cannot be removed, turn the coffee machine on and off again (as it is written in the manual). If it did not work out, you will have to disassemble the device, along the way inspecting and servicing the coffee machine.
So, we begin disassembling the Saeko clothes by unscrewing the fastening screw in the upper part of the grain bin and removing the grind adjustment knob. Then just lift the bunker up.
Then we carefully remove the panel from the hooks, which starts from the front side and covers the entire upper part.
Then we proceed to dismantle the control handle - it is fastened with latches.
To remove it, you need to pull it very carefully towards yourself, then remove the frame that is under the button, using a plastic plate, and unscrew a couple of screws in secret niches, located slightly lower than the socket for fastening the control handle of the machine.
The next step is to remove the front panel. This is done as follows - slightly lift it and a little to the side.
Do not forget to remove the sensor for closing the grain tank.
To remove the sides, unscrew
there is a screw on the rear wall at the end and, starting from the right side (with the one where the brewing block is), gently release the side panel from the bottom of the front part. You can do this with your hands or use plastic plates.
The sidewall is also attached to the lower base with hooks - - do not break the fasteners, do everything carefully, do not overdo it.
Well, in the end, again with caution, we spread the sides to the sides. As a result, the right part is removed and we proceed in the same way to remove the left part of the case, with the only difference that there are a couple of screws on the side of the water container that must be unscrewed.
After removing both sides, we conduct a small educational program - in the picture:
1.Pump, 2 - water meter, 3 boiler, 4 - a pair of thermostats, 5 - coffee grinder, 6 - regulation valve,.
After removing the brewing unit, the hob is opened, which is fixed to the body with ten screws.
Under a small hatch there is a 4-screw nozzle through which hot water is supplied to the brewing unit. By unscrewing these screws, remove the nozzle and then remove the drive gears.
We clean carefully
from grease, dirt and oxide and proceed to testing the sensors. The sensor is a mechanical switch. The check consists in dialing the resistance tester.
Typically, the sensors fail and either do not ring, or they do not ring every time. The sensors are changed to similar ones.
Next, all rubber parts are lubricated with a special food grade silicone grease and assembly begins in the reverse order.
After the assembly is completed, the coffee machine is tested - if everything was assembled correctly, then after half an hour you will enjoy delicious aromatic coffee.
Do-it-yourself Saeco coffee machine repair is difficult because the body is not separable. The cover is removed from above, the master unscrews a bunch of screws ... the insides of the heavy unit are pulled up. The procedure is dreary, experienced repairmen help with a screwdriver, the authors just pretend: the action is not easy. The review will first consider the principle of operation, the features of the Saeco Vienna coffee machines, then the procedure for disassembling the units, and to top it off, let's say a few words about the internal structure. After reading the first two sections, the third is not needed, the mechanics, the electrical part are devoid of complexities.
Saeco will always help you identify the problem with error codes. Few electronic components that cannot be replaced. Rewind the motor windings, the magnetic shaft rarely breaks. A typical housewife can clean the boiler.
Saeco Vienna coffee machines in question are able to:
Grind coffee.
Brew ground coffee.
Make milk froth by preparing various drinks.
The Saeco Vienna coffee machine can brew ground, instant coffee. Undoubtedly. Pour the powder into a container for beans, however, the strength of the drink may differ slightly from the usual one. Coffee machines dispense the amount of beans / water, pouring powder inside does not mean that you will get the wrong drink with a high degree of probability. The result will be different from the traditional one. The dosing process is hushed up by the instructions. An instructive video was posted on YouTube: a repairman details the functioning of the Saeco automatic coffee dispensing group, saying the following:
The coffee machine "says" to the coffee dispensing group: it's time to brew, the engine sets in motion the mechanism that moves the cup to the position on the cylinder, pushes it up, reaching the stop.
The specialist continues to say: 8 grams of ground coffee is placed inside. The video describing Vienna Plus allows you to understand: setting, batching are carried out by mechanical methods. The plus sign means: in the model, the dose is changed, it is done with a special handle that rotates the outer nut of the coffee grinder by means of a rod with a gear. That is balanced by a spring, the preload is changed by a regulator. Vienna uses a similar mechanical tuning scheme. Throw in instant coffee inside - it will pass through the millstones, settle in the cup. The process continues, the mass reaches critical, "the coffee machine tells the coffee dispensing group: it's time to brew."
By purchasing the Vienna Plus model, we get the opportunity to dose the taste by changing the concentration. The coffee machine does not strictly work with roasted beans. Avoid putting green coffee inside, the reason is simple: the beneficial properties will be lost, destroyed by heat, the operation is meaningless. Will the Saeco Vienna Plus espresso machine work. Of course, yes, the millstones do not care what to grind, brew, even walnuts. The Saeco coffee dispenser is fully automated:
The ground coffee is poured onto a flat bowl that runs inside the cylinder.
After the end of grinding, a mechanical signaling device is triggered, starting the servo drive.
The piston with the cylinder falls to one side, begins to move along the runners towards the stop, where the brewing will take place.
After the end of the procedure, the piston, the cylinder begin to move back, the inclined cover is triggered, becoming perpendicular to the plane of movement, removes the tablet, dropping it into the waste material receiver.
Many people are hindered from sleeping at night by the question: is it possible to use the favorite method of Russians, to brew used tablets again. The Saeco Vienna coffee machine will master the technology! Avoid actions. Coffee grinder motors, coffee dispensers are separate. The first one simply threshes in one direction, the second one can rotate the shaft on reverse.
The path of water movement is relatively simple - those who have mastered a couple of reviews of the VashTechnik portal on the topic of water heaters will find it. From the container, water is drawn by a pump.According to the manufacturer, the pump is capable of creating a fabulous pressure of 15–20 atm, the compressor casing is plastic, like a tube. Raises doubts about the incredible performance, the technical rationale for the strength of the structure exceeds the scope of the review.
The boiler is formed by two halves, bolted together, running along the perimeter. Looking from the side of the heating element - the tank of the Saeco Vienna coffee machine resembles an iron. Applies to a spiral that is bolted to one half. The similarity is completed by a bimetallic plate, which serves as a temperature sensor; the tension is changed with a special handle. To obtain steam, it is necessary to see the presence of 127 ºС, 95 ºС is enough for brewing. There should be no boiling water in the latter case. It is associated with the quality of the resulting drink. Take note when using instant coffee, an electric kettle with a thermostat (see Vitek).
The boiler inlet is protected by a non-return valve that blocks the return flow of water. The outlet is guarded by a by-pass valve that releases water for brewing and receiving steam. Which process will take place is determined by the position of the water / steam regulator. Just a knob switches the outlet of the bypass valve, supplying the desired channel. The device of the Saeco Vienna coffee machines is primitive:
water is pumped up by a boiler;
the temperature reaches the desired value;
a bimetallic plate is triggered, opening the contacts of the heating element, lighting the button lamp;
pressing the key will allow you to get coffee, make froth.
Do-it-yourself Saeco espresso machine repair begins with disassembly. The order is as follows:
The front cover opens.
The waste collection container and coffee dispensing spout are removed.
Then the mug holder with the tray is pulled out.
The container for water is removed from the back, the cover of the bean compartment is removed.
Screws are unscrewed in the grain compartment, the assembly is removed.
Another screw on the curb is unscrewed under the water tank.
Then the front cover opens, if you look from below, you will see a couple of screws - they are unscrewed.
Behind the grain compartment, another screw secures the rear wall curb, recessed down. Unscrews if available.
Remove the top cover of the Saeco Vienna espresso machine. The water hose is attached, undock.
Remove the front door using a screwdriver.
Now we remove the insides from the deep bottom of the Saeco Vienna coffee machine. Not an easy task, be careful.
The eligibility for warranty repairs for Saeco espresso machines is no longer valid. Avoid opening the device with a valid free service period.
From what has been said, it is clear: inside the Saeco Vienna coffee machine there are two or three engines that need to be powered. Why did they decide to fence a garden for motors? And inside there is nothing more that requires frills: the heating element operates from 230 volts, LEDs too, the bimetallic plate does not need power at all. The rest is mechanics. Recall that the buttons are not touch-sensitive Saeco Vienna coffee machines, therefore, where to put the generated current.
