Hi guys, I was having the same problem with milk frothing too and was so frustrated until I found this video and then instead of follow his instructions to replace the water steam outlet, I go ahead and completed the decaling process and it works perfect, and now I am able to enjoy a cup of coffee like the way it used to be. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks for sharing this video! I’ve repaired my beloved coffee maker and order is restored at a fraction of the cost of a professional repair and no major frames either!
I had this problem on a Magnifica approximately 1 week after a descale cycle all of a sudden there was a loss of pressure in the steam. I did the usual clean the milk nozzles out soaked in the milk cleaner fluid, removed any blockages, cleaned the O-rings put silicon grease on etc that did not work. What did work though was a manual descale of the steamer the power of the water / steam jetting out afterwards was ferocious. I think the built in descale function isn't thorough enough for areas with really hard water. The way I did it was fill the water tank with descaler tablet, then every 5 minutes turned the hot water knob for 15 seconds, then pressed the steamer buttom, then turned the knob again for steam for 30 seconds, turned it off. Waited 5 minutes then repeated this cycle over and over. It took about two hours, it's a right hassle but it works you see lumps of scale in the bottom of the cup. Makes me think the inbuilt descale cycle dislodges scale which blocks the nozzle. So a manual one as described throughly flushes it out.
I was skeptical with your solution because how could have delonghi messed up a cleaning procedure. I had nothing to loose so I tried it and it worked. Thanks for the idea
Brad Rigg probably you could. The outlet nozzle on existing coupling carafe seems blocked, try remove it and flush or scourge the gunk out should work.
@@willo7979 I've cleaned the clogged spout thoroughly from the milk build up but still wouldn't work properly, end up replacing the part and it works now no problem
Had a similar issue. Dismantling the machine confirmed how I could repair. The steam nozzle that connects with the milk frothier was full of hardened milk. Dismantling confirmed that there is no rubber gasket behind, just a hole that connects to a tube. I used some fine sewing needles and stuck in the hole which started to free up the hardened milk (I could see the milk contaminants sitting on the needle). I continued until I could get the needle all the way in, went to the next size up needle - descaled and all working well again.
Thanks so much. I had changed the solenoid once but it stopped working again just five months later. Before changing it once again (it’s a real pain in the butt to dismantle everything to get to it), I tried out your method. Pricked the opening with a sewing needle and physically dislodged some calcified material. It works now! You saved me two hours of tedious labor. Thanks again.
@@thehangoutclimbing9223 the frothing dispenser has a hole at the front, some machines also have a air hole underneath that gets blocked on some machines. Pole around in those two. Although, if you have already replaced the coupling with what I assume was a new one, maybe you have another issue.
My milk frother is not quite doing the same as this, it's producing froth which is full of big bubbles and not smooth. Seems to go OK if you press down on the top of the milk container whilst the milk is coming out. Hoping new o-rings on the spout will fix but not sure as one day it seemed OK then the next the quality of froth was poor.
Hi, I do own a Dinamica ECAM 350.55 and since yesterday, 10.12, when I try to make any milk coffees or even hot milk, I get ONLY hot steam (few hours ago I descaled the machine, but the issue still persists). Is just making a weird noise and feel/see just the steam.... (no milk is pulling through the tube) Is there anything that I can try to do or.... time to call for some pro repair? P.S I suspect also a defective milk jug, even if based on the visual inspection no idea what could be damaged...
Having problems with mine not creating steam. When i press for 'frothed milk' nothing happens. I guess it's the steamer unit. Do you have any ideas i could try? P.S with the water spout attached it does give off hot water. Thanks.
Thanks for recording and sharing! What was the cause of the defect? Mine is doing the same and the first and most obvious thing to suspect is the O-ring seal. It seem to make a difference how the milk container nozzle is seated and also (possibly) its temperature - whether it's fresh out of the fridge or not, however it does not fix the problem, even for a single cup. Thanks in advance.
Hi Guys, when I connect the milk container the light for cappuccino and macchiato remain unlit like there was nothing attached but inserting the descaling plug the machine enables the descale button. Any hints on what should be the cause? Nespresso Delonghi Model EN520
Hi, I have a Delonghi Dinamica350.55 and after descaling I have a same problem..milk is not frothing,can you tell me where did you buy this parts, and what is the name exactly? Thanks
Hi Don't change this part, because I 've same machine as you , I change this part and it doesn't solve the problem of froth milk. I think it is other problem. maybe solenoïd to change but which one, not fix at that moment.
I have the Delonghi Eletta ECAM45.76X. I’m having problem in that the milk isn’t heating. Froths well. There is no issue with hot water or steam. Would this repair also fix heating of the milk or is that something different ?
No unfortunately. I could still heat milk manually as the steam wand worked. Contemplated buying a new milk frother as I thought that may be the issue. Ended up buying a new machine and my daughter has the old one to use for iced coffee. @@KAMIL-yu7bz
Thank you. I replaced the coupling part and a solenoid valve in my 6 year old Eletta Cappuccino Top. Pain to get access to the carafe coupling, but boy was it worth it. EDIT: Milk has stopped frothing again. ☹️
Hi all My Eletta 44.660 When I select any kind of coffee with milk (latte, cappuccino etc) it's says "Preperation Underway" and nothing happening. Could you let me know what could cause the issue? Please
I have this problem too. My wife insists on foam! Thank you for video. Looks complicated. Might try soaking part in decalc fluid Machine is only 3 months old. Do I have to do this regularly?
Well, nice video. But if someone wants to go through this process one advice, DON'T. I changed the part and it worked for a while. So, it seems that the steam unit is not very reliable. A new part worked only for a brief period. Back to square one. Now it is just an espresso machine.

May I know what that spring is doing here?
I have steam but no hot water, it’s like something is blocking somewhere.
These instructions are great! They made my machine work again!
Did you do an autopsy on the failed unit to see what went wrong. I would be curious to know if it could have been repaired
Brad Rigg probably you could. The outlet nozzle on existing coupling carafe seems blocked, try remove it and flush or scourge the gunk out should work.

@sarvphilly7983 hi , where are we pricking with a needle ? Ive changed my whole carafe coupling and still no milk being dispensed 😢

I did replace o'rings (with factory parts) and no change. Did you noticed that different milk batch will produce different foam? I did
@@lifeisfuneh Try to clean the machine with decaling tablets or decaling liquid, it works on my. Good luck
@@TriNguyen-rs5wr Clean as a whistle, meticulously maintained
Thank you, now my machine can keep on frothing for a few more years i hope.

hi, which solenoïd you have change to solve the problem? Thanks to keep me inform on what parts change to have perfect froth milk as new...Thanks.
Did you find something obviously wrong with the old part? I also noticed that my foam changes with different milk batches (all 2% milk tho)
Hi all

When I select any kind of coffee with milk (latte, cappuccino etc) it's says "Preperation Underway" and nothing happening.
Could you let me know what could cause the issue?
Please
@@kylo99_Kris_IPSWICH_PLdid you fix your problem, mine is doing the same thing
Comment faire démonter le vis special?
How did you take off front panel?
where did you get your replacement part from please?
Go online for delonghi
I have this problem too. My wife insists on foam! Thank you for video. Looks complicated. Might try soaking part in decalc fluid
Machine is only 3 months old. Do I have to do this regularly?
thix was easy fix for me, first time after 7-8 years for me.
Did you try soaking the part in the end? Or replacing it? Interested to know if you were successful.
2 Nd time in 8 years for me, but last time was 3 years ago so it got more frequent despite using the froffer only occasionally now
Thank you 🤙
The two part numbers you reference aren’t the same one as your video!
Just clean the selection button ( the thin slit above the notch )of the cremá system with a small screwdriver
