Top 20 Krups Orchestro 889 Espresso Machine Questions & Answers

kindly look for any type of micro swich that can redicect the motor

I would contact a local small appliance repair shop locally

You might have a broken seal on the brewing unit. There is an O ring on the tamping part that often gets broken with wear. Best to carefully run it with the covers off to determine exactly where the leak is. Parts may be a problem for this model, a lot of bits & pieces are obsolete now. The O ring will be available aftermarket anyway, I've got plenty here in New Zealand.

I have been through the book and it gives no information on flashing power and clean light together. Quite often a full dismantle, clean and lubrication of the brewing unit will make things better when they are acting incorrectly.

The hot water works, but when I run coffee, the water only goes into the used BIN, NOT the spouts. I can't get the water to go through to brew the coffee.. HELP

I can supply you a part number if you tell me what country you are and a photo of the capacitor showing its position so I can look up the correct one.

There are many capacitors in that machine, where is it?

Open the steamer nozzle and let it pump until it stops by itself.

I have the same machine and the spent coffee tray wasn't going in and after cycling with pressing three times then clicking three times all the lights would cycle between red and green and the machine would do nothing. It turned out to be a jammed eject motion of spent coffee. the coffee was pressed in but wouldn't eject into the coffee tray so the flap wouldn't go all the way up making the tray not go in. I took the back of the machine off and used a screw driver to "help the unit up during the cycle". When the machine would screw down and PRESS I'd not do anything but as soon as it would screw up I would lever my screw driver and HELP it up....after two or three attempts it screwed all the way up and ejected the coffee and now it seems fine.

check the power cord

They will have you contact turnpike appliances (http://www.smallappliance.com) who will actually do the repair.

Turnpike Appliances has excellent customer service!

since I replaced the O rings on the brew unit I then found the grinder was not producing enough grinds - this resulted in weaker coffee - replaced the grinder with a reconditioned unit from :

Now the machine is as new and the recon grinder has a quieter motor and grinder assembly.
They are great to work with and sell all the parts with instructions and diagrams - now my 10 year old machine is as good as new.

This light indicates that the Cleaning Program should be run. You have to consult a manual to do this right. For one, you need the correct cleaning tables to use for the cleaning cycle.

Most likely the main O-rings have to be replaced. There is an excellent step-by-step instruction available on http://www.kaffeemaschinendoctor.de/Downloads:_:30.html under Jura, Aeg, Krups - It's in German, but Google can translate it. This repair is not for the faint at heart, but it can be done. The O-Rings can be found in any decent hardware store.
