There are metal connectors at the back, using a dry towel wipe then clean. If you still get the error, than the connectors those connectors connect to have water. The silver connectors get all fusy if there is water on them.

Run a decalcify cycle, your system sounds clogged

We had similar problem on our Z5. It turned out to be the two prongs at the end of the tray that were shorted out with dirty water. After carefully cleaning the whole contact area of the tray, the message was cleared. I would also inspect the machine itself where the prongs go in. Use a flashlight to ensure there is nothing causing the tray to misalign with the contacts. Somtimes used grounds gets stuck there and lifts the tray a bit.

Hi, not a common problem, have you checked your programming, other wise, id be looking at the electronic board. If its brewing other coffees through the brew unit, then I would think a board. Other non working functions may help you trace the problem further. example; steam or hot water not working. dazza

Hi, check the float in the water tank. It might be faulty or put back in upside down. Take the tank out and place a magnet where the float sits. If this works, then its the float. If it doesn't fix the problem, then its the sencor inside where the magnet is sitting. Easy to replace if you can get inside. dazza

Hi, after you have put the tablet in, press the rince button to continue the cleaning process. Dazza REPAIRER

Hi, For your problem check the infuser and make it clean. Open the cover clean the water tank properly. Then reprogram the machine properly. You may need descaling for the machine. It will solve your problem. Use proper quantity of water.

Check the two contacts at the back of the tray. Be sure they are cleans as well as the plastic space between them. Then using compressed air clean where the contacts enter the machine in the rear. Usually there is moisture back there and the machine assumes the tray is full of water.

Hi,

According to you, if there is no problem with making coffee or operating machine then don't worry. This is the problem of either display or the display software. So reload the software may solve your problem. Or you have to replace the display.

Hi,

According to your problem, open the front cover panel. There you can found the spout beside the infuser. Keep out the cappuccino maker and nozzle on the above the spout resides. Make the spout holes clean with pin. Manuals can help you to perform this job.

Press the button to the right of the function wheel that should be lit, this will then purge air from the water pipes and fill the boilers, the unit should then operate as normal.

Hi.

Error 5 is temperature out of range (too cold). Disconnect power cord and leave the machine at room temperature for a couple of hours. If the error is still there, call the service number listed on the manual. A technician must test the temperature sensor integrated in the thermoblock and replace it if defective.

Be sure to measure up the correct amount of water before starting up the descaling program. It should be 600ml. Then be aware that the program takes about 45 minutes, and is in two steps. The first 35 minutes is for the 600ml in the watertank. You will then be asked to empty tray, and fill watertank. You can now fill up the watertank with fresh, cold water. Then the machine will complete the program (about 10 minutes) with fresh water, rinsing the system.

So; Be accurate in measuring the correct amount of water (solvent)-600ml
and be patient, this takes about 45 minutes.

If you are using a Claris filter, please remove this from the watertank. The descaling agent will clog the filter and make the water taste bad. After descaling, also be sure to rinse the watertank so there`s no resedue of the solvent left in the tank.

However, bitter taste on the coffe usually is related to the coffee side; Try to run a cleaning program. And check grinder settings. If the powder is to fine, it will increase the contact time, and that will make the coffee bitter. My advise is to clean the machine and experiment a little with the grinder settings.

Good luck!

Hi

The connectors on capresso machines are very tricky. The reason for the leaking could be to do with the seals. Take it apart and make sure all the rings and pressing clamps are in the right place. Also take a good look and on your hot water tank, and the pressure relief valve in back of machine.

Also it is recommended that the Jura coffee machines to be serviced every 2 years.

Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

This is caused by 2 problems: 1. The coffee filter is blocked. To unblock remove tray, where the tray was insert your hand, with the palm facing up, then when the fingers touch a flap, just past that flap is the filter. Take a lint free or micro fibre cloth and clean the filter, then re-insert the tray and try again.
2. Calcium or scale has dislodged and is blocking the water system. The water system needs to be flushed.

Open the preground coffee lid, drop a cleaning tablet in it, let it do it's tablet cleaning cycle. After cycle empty water out of tray and clean.

Does this model have a light under the coffee outlet that comes on when plugged it. ?
If so you can at least tell power is on to unit, even if will not switch on.
Jura have made there machines so they are not easy to service but it can be done but you have to be happy with taking apart machine and have live voltage cables exposed.
If not its best it is sent to your local jura service agent.
