You forgot to clean the ball ventile inside the plunger of the brewing unit.
There is circular cap in the plunger that looks like it it is forming a cross with a little dot in the middle. It is housing a spring loaded ball ventile. You see it at 2 o'clock (or North-East however you want to see it) in the frames around 4:00.
You can carefully turn that cap, e.g. with a knife or big slit screw driver. It isn't threaded or anything, but with each rotation the spring will slowing push the circular cap out. When not cleaned regularly, the spring, the chamber and exit to the side of the plunger can get clogged and the ball ventile can get stuck or will have hard time moving once it is all gunked up, e.g. when the mashine isn't used regularly. Be careful though, the small parts can easily be lost.
You are welcome.
this video saved my machine. I was ready to get rid of it but after deep clean its working again. Thanks for the video
Absolutely brilliant, thank you. Great camera work. Saved to favourites.
Thanks! I had problems to get the part back in the brewer, but figured out I had to unplug power at a specific time
Thanks for your effort! It helps a lot... I have the exact same coffee machine and today I'm doing this 🙌
Dude you are an artist!
BIG THANKS PAL! You're awesome, so helpful 🙏🏻
Great vid in silence but so loudy with its quality : thank you very much
Nice video I thought, most intuitive. Thank you.
Aah a quality video without crappy music. Nice one dude!
Great Great video! Specially the first tip. I didn't realize you can have all that cleareance to lubricate the bar by using this method. I was worried to unmount some parts.
Great video. Exactly what I needed. Thank you very much :)
Super Video - Klasse gemacht / great tutorial to maintain the units in advance
Magnificent work!
Thanks for helping me to find the parts I need.
Many, many thanks for your generosity, I'm glad I was able to help you.
Pominięty został tylko zaworek do pianki..
Świetny film pozdrawiam!
every time i see internal parts and mechanism i can tell this is good design.
Thank you very much for your effort 😊👍
Watched this then changed the O rings, thanks.
Super Tuto! Merci!
Thank you for this good video ! I have a small remark concerning the cleaning of the brewing unit. It is written on the unit in capital letters "rinse with water only. No detergent". I don't know exactly why but when designers write such warnings I prefer to respect it.
That's true, you should only rinse a brew group with water when it is assembled. The detergent would otherwise wash out the silicone grease. The plastic parts themselves are resistant to detergents.
@@yt.myworks Thank you again ! It makes completely sense. Maybe I did not think long enough before I wrote ;-)
Thank you helped me out great
thank you so much, this is importatn for me.
Thanks for de detailed documentary. One thing you forgot, to clean/replace the pressurevalve (04:45:00) in the brewunit.
Sehr schönes Video👌
Thank you so much!!!
Great helpfull video!!
The actual engineering in this is super interesting. Saeco/Philips brew group have much more part with thinner plastic, my bet is this solution from Delonghi is more robust with less moving parts and a more solid case.
I was looking those maintenance videos to help me decide on which machine will age better and is easier to service by myself and I'm now convinced I'll probably go for a Delonghi. Thanks myworks ;)
Part of the brewing group (piston) is still in the top of the Delonghi case, which is not visible here.
@@yt.myworks I actually just realize from another one of your video. It's the transparent case one that you called "infuser group" right?
That actually scared me more then xDDD
@TomatePasFraiche That's right. But the part only breaks after many years and many coffees. All coffee machines have a problem that you have to accept.
Thank you friend.... 👍
Great video as always! There is one area that needs to be cleaned which is not often talked about - the spout assembly or even the door assembly. There can be a lot of espresso drips and leaks that are trapped and accumulated over time, in the adjustable spout, or in the hollow door panel of some Delonghi models. The normal hot water rinse bursts don't do the trick and cannot dislodge the build up. Second to disassemble the entire thing, I find that espresso cleaning tablets (not descaler), dropped into the manual coffee doser followed by a couple of rinse cycles will help keep the area clean. The descaler doesn't seem to breakdown those build up. Plus, on models with descaling function, the descaling is done through the hot water dispenser, so it doesn't get a chance to rinse through the spout. You'd be surprise the kind of mildew/mold coffee residue slime that can be flushed out that way - it's down right nasty. I have been tweaking the method and found that if break those tablets into 3 equal pieces and do 3 consecutive cleaning rinses, I can flush out most of the build up.
I own several Delonghi and Saeco superautos and while very easy to make drinks, proper maintenance of these machines are overwhelming. Delonghi is particularly worse than other brands due to their design choices not favoring cleaning. There are just way too many parts needs to be cleaned or kept clean in order to have nice coffee and "clean/healthy" coffee while maintaining longevity of the machine.
Thank you! I mean also that coffee mashines in general should be easier to clean.
Any tops on cleaning the preground chamber of the machine?
@@kerplunk777 big baby bottle cleaning brush, brush all the old stuff into the grounds chamber with some puly caff with machine set to manual ground coffee mode, make a single espresso, extend the brewing duration as long as you(on mine press and hold the single coffee button as soon as you hear the machine finish its timed shot). Do a few rinses after this.
Limpide , merci 👌 .
👏👏👏👏👏👏
great, thanks
Top, the tips to access the spindle....
Excellent merci.
can i use WD-40 instead of this grease ? because i couldn't find one locally
WD-40 is not suitable, you can use an all-purpose grease. It is best to use a white one as used in kitchen appliances.
Excellent
Thanks for this vdeo 👍
Bonne vidéo, well done
I can’t stress this enough!
Make sure the gears are lined up perfectly. Mine looked close but were apparently off a little bit. So, when using it it made the loudest popping sound. I thought it was broken. Make sure those are lined up. Luckily, I think mine survived, but do not take that chance.
Mine made the same really loud noise, how do you know if you have them lined up perfectly?
@@elizabethrowlands3585 Hey! It's been a little while since I last did this, but just make sure the little parts that stick out from the main unit, like the long parts that stick out from the gears are tucked in as much as possible and are basically lined up exactly right with the outside. It's kind of hard to explain, but those little arms that come out from the gears that move the central part up and down can't stick out much at all.
Do the descale before the through manual clean & lube..... (those acids may reduce the grease effect)
Yes, you're right, that would probably be better.
Thank you for yet another detailed video on delonghi maintenance. Wonder if you help me find a substitute of the grease model OKS 470 (white grease) that you used to lubricate the brew unit screw shaft? I live in the UAE and unfortunately I'm unable to procure exact one locally. I appreciate your response. Keep good work and best regards!
Nice work! For greasing the transmision, after I take out the infuser, run it 6 seconds, unplug the device to have a better access but after that it will automatically come back in place? Thx
Yes, the transmission will move back automatically after switching on.
I have saved your video for later use, as my unit is brand new, so I appreciate the detail of your videos. I have the De'Longhi ECAM35075SI Dinamica. I’ve noticed that when I turn the coffee maker on or off and the machine goes through the start up or shut down procedure, water also drips into the tray from the left, front, inside of the unit. This water is in addition to water being dispensed from the coffee spouts in the rinsing process (I catch this ‘rinsing water’ in a cup). I brought this to the attention of De’Longhi for warranty purposes and they had me take pictures and then had me send my unit in for repair. I received it back from their repair shop and they said that was normal. My question is whether this is normal or not? Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge base.
The water drips from the left side of the expansion chamber. Most water comes after making latte after the steam cools down. This process is normal for DeLonghi ECAM models.
Thankyou....
Hi brother, I just got my first coffee machine (second hand) and the model is exactly the same. There is also water in piston. I searched whole Internet and your video is the most helpful one. Thank you and now I am pretty confident to do if myself. Hi brother, I just got my first coffee machine and the model is exactly the same. Just one question (appreciated if I could have your clarification --- I counted there are 14 o-ring on the table before you assemble the piston, but the video only shows the size for 13 o-ring, I can not find the size of the o-ring in the very left (I believe this one is appeared at 5:18 of the video). Would you please help to give the information about this one? Thanks.
Fantastic video, looks like the same or very similar brew unit for my ECAM45.760.W that's squeeking whilst dispensing probably needs a clean and lube or just lube. I feel much more confident having looked at this.
@Krystan Honour that is exactly the same brew group! The spindle, which should also be lubricated annually, usually squeaks.
@Krystan Honour Did you perform this with the Eletta? The only thing I am worry about is that if the spindle goes back to the original position after doing this. On friday I am going to get the grease for the spindle and following all these steps
@@vincat84 After switching on, the brew group goes back to the basic position by itself.
@@yt.myworks thank you!
Thanks!! Where did you get the O rings?
Amazing video - thank you, it's great to have my Magnifica S cleaned back to (almost) factory shape!!
Love silent films!
Thank you for this video! Is this a way to repair a machine that only gives half cups of coffee or sometimes no coffee at all? I noticed the two geared levers are very hard to turn to move the piston.
@Julius Kooij: The brewing unit should be easy to move. But I think that maybe the brewing piston is leaking if the water collects in the container.
6.14 make sure the small, soft plastic, triangular pad is correctly mounted just in front of the screw near the word WASSER, that's near the red catches.
Thank you for your video. I would like to know what size o-rings are needed for the brewing unit?
amzn.to/3nhUrg2
The piston head. The small valve on the face of the piston can be removed to clean out the channel to the side of the piston. Another method to clean the channel is to push the head of the valve down, use a very small blunt tool, then force water into the small hole in the side of the piston. Not as good as removing the valve but you won't lose the tiny spring. To lubricate the O-rings use a food grease only. If it doesn't say "food compatible" on the pack DO NOT USE.
Great video thank you. Does it matter if you use OKS 1110 grease on the spindle (0:46) on video
@Nice Guy OKS 1110 is only intended for lubricating the seals and is not suitable for the spindle. For the spindle you can use grease intended for kitchen devices.
Hello @myworks,
You make very beautiful videos and I thank you for it.
I own the Delonghi Magnifica S but I've had a problem for some time now, the machine won't turn on.
When I turn on the power, the LEDs light up well and then go out.
Nothing happens when I press ON.
Only two LEDs light up when I remove the water tank and the coffee grounds container.
I thought the problem was with the power board as there was a strange trace, the machine started up and was functional again and then broke down again.
Would it be possible to give me a lead to repair the machine please?
That's a pity. Unfortunately, I'm not done with electronics to be able to help you. I think that the cause that breaks the power board is anywhere else.
you forgot to clean the valve and the channel inside the piston , under the metal screen. That has a major impact on creaminess of the espresso. And it is better to use an alcaline solution instead of dish soap.
Mine lost pretty much all crema. How do you clean the valve and channel? Thanks
@@mystikmeg search vids on how to clean
Thanks for the video, I found it very useful.I have Magnifica Ecam 22.110.SB and the coffe is like water I tryed diffent kind of setting rotating the knob but the result is always the same, watery coffe :( . I can ear the machine don't put much pressure on the coffe at all. Any suggestions. There are any extra seting where I can fix this? Thanks
Can you upload a short video to UA-cam? What does the used coffee look like?
Perfect video, exactly what I needed. Thanks.
Super
Hi great video again, just curious, wouldn't the grease on the O rings collect the ground coffees and get stuck?
Hello, DeLonghi does the same from the factory. But too much lubricant is not good either.
Great video I thank you how often would you recommend doing this?
I recommend doing the procedure every year.
Any alternative grease to the OKS 470 which I can use? I cannot seem to find this type of grease in small quantities. Thanks for the video!
@Mihai Plesca: Hello, I think you won't find a pack smaller than 80ml. Alternatively, search for "Grease NSF" or "Grease for the Food Processing". (amzn.to/3nd5nMb)
Great video. Have some water coming from under the machine, on the left. Is it because brewing unit seals are old?
@Jerome / Neareo I don't think the problem is any other. If the housing of the heater is calcified, the water usually runs next to the collecting container.
Hi, thanks for the video. Where can we buy the O rings for replacement?
Hi, see the last position in the video description below.
amzn.to/3nhUrg2
Excellent and informative...I have this machine and recently been getting Install Infuser Assembly error. I keep tricking the machine into working again but I would much rather repair the issue. Any tips?
@John Barrett I think that the transmission is already worn out (too loose) and the infuser cannot find the basic position. See my other video on the subject: ua-cam.com/video/HZ8oQUGtPjc/v-deo.html
Thank you for this video! Question: I found a very small black rubber thing shaped like a triangle. I saw that in your video too at 3:36 (in between the red push buttons, right below the spring, it's sitting there) and again on 4:03 (a small black object under the water, next to your brush and it stayed there for a few more seconds). It was not shown in your video where that part is supposed to go and I cannot figure it out myself. Any ideas/advise? Thanks!
@Anthony Balmelli: The rubber is on the top on the left side 6:14 It is used to dampen noise.
This comment helped a whole lot! Thank you!
Hi, great video, but I'm confused about the greases - you have linked 2 types. Which one goes on the piston seals? In the video you are showing a pictogram "food safe" but I don't see it either of those links.
It doesn't matter which brand it's from, the main thing is that it's food safe.
Brilliant could ypu tell me ifi can take the coffee nozzels apart as they keep blocking pls
@Fiona Hunt You can disassemble the coffee spout, but it's pretty complicated. You have to dismantle the housing if you want to access the parts. You can use a small brush to clean the spout from below and press it on rinsing a few times. LG
Thank you i soaked it in the end itseems better
Hola, me gustaría saber el difusor de mi cafetera delonghi no retrocede la palanca para quitar el café sobrante y cuando la apagas no baja la palanca hacia abajo del todo.. Muchas gracias por tus videos, saludos desde España
Holla, después de reemplazar las juntas tóricas, debe volver a montar el infusor correctamente. Siga todos los pasos con mucho cuidado. Tengo otro video sobre este tema, vea aquí: ua-cam.com/video/WsfIidlbfEs/v-deo.html
Hello, and thank you for this video. We have an identical machine. How OFTEN are you doing this cleaning? Do you judge it by sound, Taste, or time?
Hello, I clean the brewing group at least twice a year. Lubricating the spindle nut once a year is enough.
Danke für das video!Sehr hilfreich und super qualität!Ich versuche auch selber reparieren und reinigen...bei mir ist das wasser geht zu langsam durch,auch nach die entkalkung,kann irgendwo eine verstopfung sein Mfg:Z
Manchmal hilft das Entkalken nichts mehr wenn die Teflonleitung bereits verstopft ist. Meistens ist es die eine ganz oben die von der Heizung kommt. Dazu muss du die obere Abdeckung entfernen um es zu überprüfen.
@@yt.myworks Danke für die antwort!Hab schon daweil repariert.Zum glück war es nicht so tragisch nur eine starke verstopfung,durchgespült mit zitronensäure.[essig macht die gummidichtungen hin,wie i g'hört habe.]Jetzt funktioniert wieder problemlos.Danke nochmals!👍
Thank you for your clear informative videos, they are brilliant!
Quick point regarding this video, when cleaning the piston in the brew group, you left the clear amber coloured crema piece in place, I often find this to be gunky and in need of a good soak, removing it allows the piston/plunger to be cleaned through the hole where it was situated.
Going on to your grinder disassembly video now, my grinder sounds rather clunky and the grind adjustment is on the finest setting to get a decent shot out. Is there room for adjustment on these by pulling out the piece which limits the setting and bringing it back a few notches to go finer? I don't know anyone who has their setting all the way down to the course setting, seems pointless.
Thanks again!
@Elbow the letter: Hello, yes you are right, the crema valve should also be cleaned. I didn't want to make the video too difficult so I skipped this step.
Disconnect the white gear on the grinder and staggered a little, then you can adjust it finely. It has three clips on the side.
@@yt.myworks thank you, I will take a look very soon
@@yt.myworks Is it possible you could make a quick video to show how to adjust the grinder to go an extra few notches finer? At the moment i think even set at 1 mine is a little too coarse for some espressos. cheers!
In this video you can see how to clean and adjust a grinder: ua-cam.com/video/Dk8_id4x7E4/v-deo.html
Can you help with replacing the steam knob? I have got a new one and read I can just pull out the broken one and push the new one in but it doesn't want to lock in. There is a spring/split ring on the end that seems to be stopping it.
That's right, you just have to push the button on. You need to make sure there are no pieces of broken button in the machine.
Great video. I’ve just acquired a used unit and was having a look at the seals on the brewing unit as per tip No2. In taking it apart, a small triangular shaped rubber fell out from somewhere on the unit. Can you tell me where this goes as it’s not clear in the video.
Keep up the great videos ,
Hello, the rubber can be seen briefly in minute 6:14 at the top left. LG
@@yt.myworks thanks for taking the time to reply. Very much appreciated. Cheers
Thank you very much for your videos, it helped a lot. I use lactic acid for descaling. According to the composition of the original recommended descaling agent, this acid is used. What do you think about it? It is a liquid form in a concentration of 80%, which I dilute to 25-50% (composition of the original descaling agent). Of course, lactic acid (1L/7.30€) costs a fraction of what the original descaler (0,5L/11€) - in Czech Republic . My coffee maker is DeLonghi Magnifica 23.210B
Thank you very much. I have no experience with lactic acid. I used descaling tabs which are linked in the video description below. You are right, the descalers recommended by the manufacturer are far too expensive. It is only important that the alternative decalcifier does not damage the o-rings.
Hello, DeLonghi now sells descaling for this unit with lactic acid, called "EcoDecalk". So it should be fine. And thank you myworks for the video. I don't need it for me but it's very well done and to the point. Keep up the good work!
Nice video, where do you get the replacement parts ? Ebay ? Do you have any service manual ? Error codes etc ?
Thank you! I buy my spare parts where it's cheapest, on eBay, Amazon or other internet shops. I don't have an operating manual.
Thank you for your video. How often should I perform these maintenances?
In addition to the manufacturer's maintenance suggestions, I recommend to follow these 3 maintenance tips once a year.
@@yt.myworks Got it!!! Thank you so much!
Hi :-). Great video! I’d like to know what you do after greasing the transmission? Do you simply turn the machine back on, and it then goes back to the correct state? Thanks in advance 👍.
Hello, yes, just turn the device back on and the machine will return to the correct state.
How did you lubricate the brewing unit seals? What lubricant did you use?
You can use any food grade silicone grease: amzn.to/3cX39eV
What are the most important maintenance tips for Jura E6 coffee machine? Thank you🇺🇸
Normal care according to the manufacturer's instructions (decalcifying, cleaning). In addition, remove and overhaul the brew group every two years.
Note the rubber seal at the top of the left part at 6:13
It came off during wash for me, believe it was on the right hand part here., and I had no clue where it was supposed to be :D
There are some diagrams online as well which show all the parts.
On my machine the (not sure what it is in English (hubs? / the mounting pin and hole)) for the cogwheel / arms was greased well as well.
I recommend greasing the seals and the inside of the brew group. You can find the rubber buffers in this spare parts shop: www.juraprofi.de/DeLonghi-Ersatzteile/Bruehgruppe-und-antrieb/DeLonghi-Gummipuffer-am-Hebelarm-der-Brueheinheit::15521.html
@@yt.myworks Luckily I did not loose it, I just had some problem finding out where it belonged ;), and yes, I greased all contact surfaces of moving parts. It moves smooth. You make very good videos. Thank you for the work you put into it.
The BND-Kaffeestudio is great but as I do not live in the EU they do not ship here.
Thank you, this comment saved me. It magically disappeared in 03:08 and, had you not pointed out the location in 6:13, I wouldn't have known where to put this back. Seems like an oversight worth mentioning in the description of an otherwise good video :)
❌❌⭕⭕ Hello, this video is interesting and helpful. Unfortunately in my opinion something is missing.
There is another large o-ring in the machine located where the extraction group gets pressed upward. In my case it was causing squeaks. To access it you must let the carriage go down and then remove the electrical plug for safety because the leadscrew is very powerful. Good luck.
Ok now having disassembled , cleaned, lubed and reassembled my brew unit I can confirm there is a small piece missing focus from this video (as it is there if you watch closely, it is visible at 6:29), which for me at least turned out to be a bit crucial. When you take it apart a small black piece of rubber with a groove will fall out and its not entirely obvious where it came from. If you look at the unit with the piston, and by the screw hole there is a bit of plastic that juts out with a small notch above it, seat the rubber gasket on that bit jutting out so the top sits on the notch above the surface. Now take the other side and assemble just as shown in this video, you will notice a small piece of plastic covers it, looks like it compresses it. This was necessary for my unit to fit back together snugly and ensure smooth operation, I am not an expert but another thing that wasn't obvious to me was when you look in the piston shaft you will see a little pinhole in the bottom, align the piston (which has a pin that goes in that hole) with that. Thank you @myworks for the excellent video, there is no tech manual easily found for this and these sorts of maintenance instructions should really be in the manual for the product. Lubrication for mechanical parts it important, you should not really need to have the machine serviced professionally to do these sorts of things so once again thanks so much. Your work is appreciated.
There is an older video of me on the subject of Infusor assembly: ua-cam.com/video/WsfIidlbfEs/v-deo.html
Thank you very much, I have learned a lot by watching some of your videos. I wanted to ask you about a problem that I have in my magnifica S 22.110b. It has 2 years of use. In every coffee I make, a little water comes out of the frother (cappuccino maker). The coffees often come out with little quantity, and I think they no longer come out with the same pressure as at the beginning. I have noticed that sometimes it takes an extra second for the coffee to come out since the pump starts to make noise. I'm thinking of changing the gaskets, but I don't know if it could be a pressure relief valve or something. thanks for your time, greetings.
Jordi Peraire: Can you upload a short video on UA-cam with the problem? Would be very helpful. At which level is the grinder set? LG
ua-cam.com/video/s43EefsOdFI/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/Y9JlY9iMXUw/v-deo.html
Hi, i have upload 2 videos. The grinder set is in number 2, but it has worked well for 2 years, it has never failed before. I think it must be related to changing all the seals, but I still have the doubt that it could be some kind of pressure relief valve (if it has one)
@@jordiperaire6089
Thanks for the videos. I haven't had this problem yet. I think the top brew piston needs to be revised. Or maybe the water valve in the top left of the machine (less likely). I don't know of a pressure relief valve on this model. How many coffees has the machine already made? LG
Thanks for your time. The machine have two years old and we make 3 or 4 coffes every day. I think i will start changing all the seals, and i hope the problem is solved 😅. Thanks again, i will tell you how it continuous. 👍😉
Do you know how easy it is to replace the 'Control Level Regulator' on a Magnifica S ECAM22.110.B please?
If the 'Control Level Regulator' is broken off from the case, then the right half of the case must be replaced: komtra.de/delonghi-ersatzteile/delonghi-ersatzteile/traegerrahmen-rechts-delonghi-ecam-kaffeevollautomaten.html
The spare part is not expensive, but the machine has to be completely disassembled. You can see how to do this in my other video: ua-cam.com/video/SuFOuU1bVR0/v-deo.html
nice video !!!! how often you recommend doing this cleaning
and which pills do you recommend?
I recommend doing it once a year. You can use any descaler designed for fully automatic coffee machines.
Great job. Just wondering where I can order those O rings?.
You can buy the o-rings on ebay or amazon: amzn.to/3nhUrg2
Hi, kann es sein das die Firma OKS irgendwas an deren Fetten geändert hat? Es fehlt mittlerweile das Symbol für Lebensmittelsicherheit?
Hallo, ja das haben die gemacht. Der Schmierstoff darf jetzt nicht direkt mit Lebensmitteln in Berührung kommen "NSF". Ich denke aber, dass an der Zusammensetzung nichts geändert wurde.
My machine won't function on the preground setting, it works on beans but appears to just drop the preground into the tray at the bottom. It had the light on for a descale so I did that and the light still doesn't reset so I assume this has got something to do with that, I'm a gas engineer/plumber by trade so figure I could probably give fixing this a go. Is it necessary that I strip and clean everything, it probably needs it anyway, can you direct me to a seal kit that I may need if I go ahead and do that? I have a msgnifica S but it's the 4 horizontal button arrangement with dial in the centre below the buttons.. TIA
You have to descale according to the instructions in the user manual so that the light goes out. O-ring + OKS silicone grease: amzn.to/3nhUrg2
What does it mean when water comes out clear from frother, but black/brown floaty bits in the water from coffee outlet spouts?
There can be various reasons for this. Perhaps the coffee spout inside is dirty. Or there is a leak in the brewing piston on the top. The brew group should also be cleaned thoroughly.
Thank you for the video.
I have a question. Last 2 days water goes really slow when making the coffee.(drop by drop)
Machine was always on same grind settings from first day so I think it is not that. Any advice.
Sorry for bad english
Hello, follow the steps from min. 7:00 onwards. Either it gets better after descaling or it clogs completely.
@@yt.myworks thank you
Hi, thanks for the informative video. When I took mine apart a small piece of rubber came out also. Any idea where this goes? Thanks... EDIT: Nevermind I saw it at 6:14
Hello, can I pick your brain with couple of issues:
-often the piston of the infuser doesnt travel all the way and the puk is not ejected and get stuck there which is a problem when u do your next coffee. I have put some grease on the transmission and on the piston after doing a clean up as shown on your vid, but it doesnt slide easily compared to a brand new infuser.
Another problem im recently having is just after grinding the bean I hear a wind noise as if the air pressure suddenly dropped and the coffee is very watery/light, the puk is very thin although it grinded the beans for 7-8 seconds, and there is water in the puk container.
You need to check if the brew group is assembled correctly. In the basic position, the sieve must be level with the brew group. Otherwise something on the machine may break.
The model I am using is the DeLonghi Primadonna ESAM6600. The brewer piston sometimes does not go down, so the brewing process is in progress and the coffee powder falls down. Why is this happening? Is there not enough grease?
Follow my instructions from this video: ua-cam.com/video/-BPGEyW5RVA/v-deo.html
Hi,when I use the pre ground coffee function and then add the coffee and press the Cup button it starts up but then gives the error where it's says no preground coffee added.
Any ideas what's wrong or some thing I am doing wrong?
@Linoma Linen Delonghi has a measuring spoon for the ground coffee. I think you need to add about 7-9 grams of ground coffee.
how do I make the espresso with grease on top again? When the machine is new, same coffee bean with not too fine grinding, the espresso was very intense and lots of grease on top. But now, the espresso is weak. Do you have any recommendations?
First follow all my instructions from this video, the important thing is that the brew group is easy to move! Make more than 5x coffees without coffee beans (ignore the error message). The machine should grind again for approx. 6 seconds and the coffee pucks will be thicker.
Excellent tips. Help needs: please advice how to fix watery coffee problem! The machine runs fine but coffee is not as good as before. Thanks in advance.
@Huynh Consultancy The problem can have several causes. First, check that enough coffee has been ground. The coffee puck should be 1.5 cm thick with the grinder set to medium. The coffee should be ground as finely as sugar.
I did try myself, learning from your video (I have it showed during my try), now the coffee cake is thicker than before. Very happy. It was because of the black mark was not at its correct position.
@@huynhconsultancy6854 what black mark? From where?
wait, do you use the same OKS 470 silicon grease to lubricate the o-rings and spindle?
The same manufacturer but different type of lubricant
Hallo. Danke für das Video. Kann man auch bei DeLonghi ECAM 28.466.MB Getriebe schmieren wie in diesem Video gezeigt wurde?
Hallo, ja das Getriebe ist fast identisch. Grüße
