Jura Capresso Impressa F9 Espresso Machine - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hi,

This error is due to the coffee sludge built up in the system and needs you open the machine and clean it.

Note - Capresso recommends that you unplug the unit, wait a minute, and then plug in and turn on. Try twice if the first time doesn't work. If you still have a problem, call Capresso, and if your machine is under warranty they will repair it for you free of charge and even pay shipping both ways.

For cleaning instructions, let me provide you with a generic link that would help you :

Good Luck!!

Thanks!!

Kris I have this same problem. Did you figure out how to replace the flap or did you have to take it in for repair.
Does anyone else know how to replace this plastic flap?

Depends if you like to help people or just complain...

Try adjusting the grind on the coffee.

oh dear that is too long without a coffee ;-( I was wondering if you could share your knowledge on how to dismantle the Jura coffee machine, i have a E85 and i need to remove old coffee sludge that is causing my problems. do i remove the back of machine?

hi did you ever fix this problem, i too have this - i know it is because of coffee sludge built up in the system but i want to know how to open the machine and give it a good clean - cant seem to work out how to do it though.

i always start by turning machine off at the power point and rebooting machine. i have a Jura but not your model - try pulling out the drawer and container that collects the used ground coffee and with a damp cloth put your hand up in the machine to the shute and wipe away any residue that might be left there. good luck

so long as it does not leak once turned on the shape should have no impact on steaming. It may be a little harder to achieve microbubbles but so long as you are only concerned about hot milk and some foam it should be fine.

Hi, if you havn't already solved this one, it has been caused by pulling the drip tray/ dump box out while the brew unit was still active. Switch off the machine and insert the drip tray without the dump box. Turn the machine back on and the brew unit should re align itself.

My F9 started with the "Fill Beans" routine even though there were plenty. The grinder started making a high-pitched noise, which Capresso's customer service told me was indicative of something being stuck in the grinder (like the stones mentioned in the manual).

Their suggestions ranged from vacuuming out the grinder to blowing compressed air into it, to "burping" the machine -- which they describe as hitting it mildly while grinding. Kind of a Heimlich maneuver on the thing.

Still no success, but I did turn the unit upside down a few times and shook out a *lot* of coffee grounds. This led me to believe that the grinder was still working, but something was blocking it down low. So I ran the cleaning cycle twice, and voila, coffee again.

An interesting aside was that the first dump from the first cleaning delivered the usual grounds but also some more pasty-like remains, and pretty dirty water. The dump water from the second cycle was very clear. This is a testimonial to the efficacy of the cleaning process. If you don't do this when the machine requests it, you are running the risk of gumming it up. I know (now); I had been ignoring the request to clean it for about a week and a half...

It means that you need to fill up the system, inside the machine. Push the Water portion button, then it should flow water from the watertube. If you`re having trouble with this, change the water in the tank with luke warm water, this usually solves the problem after a few attempts.

If nothing happens and no water comes out, the solenoid valve is defective and must be changed.

The sieve in the brew unit is probably clogged, this means that it takes to long to push the water through the coffee. There is an automatic time-out on the pump that controls this. It also can be that your coffeeoutlet is clogged.

Try cleaning out any used coffeegrounds from the inside of the machine, use your finger up into the brew unit. If this doesn`t help, it needs service.

Start up the machine, take insert everything but the used grounds container. The machine will reposition the brew unit. When the machine says "heating", take out the tray and now you can insert everthing with the used grounds container. You can of course run a Rinse cycle if the machine doesn`t start positioning right away.

I looked up this site for you. perhaps it will help.

Where is the water supplycoming from? When you press and see it saying "filling" it should be fillingon its own. Giving it enough time to fill it senses the reservoir is still empty and asks you again to fill it up. it's saying it can't do anything until the reservoir has water in it.. Make sure the water supply line is not kinked or restricted. When you press start, a valve is opened long enough to provide the water needed to start the brewing proces. Right? Let me know what you find.

The brew unit having problems with positioning it self. Use your finger and clean out all used ground from the brew unit you can find. Start the cleaning program with tablet, hopefully you will get around the error code.

This could be anything from the tank base to the outgoing hose from the thermoblock. I recommend to visit a local servicecenter. If you`re handy; open the machine and locate the leakage; maybe it`s just an o-ring that needs replacement.

I`m sorry, but there is no Reset function on this model. But you can try anyway; Turn off your machine to standby. Push and hold the P-key. If it works you get OK in the display.
If it don`t, you either just live with the problem (you can always stop any process by pressing a key) or you have to go to your nearest servicecenter and get the touchdisplay changed. This however, is rather expensive.

You must remove the 4 oval screws on the back panel, then lift up the top panel. Then take a good grip in the left panel (seen from behind) and pull back. The other panel you use your fist and hit lightly backwards, it is ligthly snapped in the front panel. Then you will have free axcess for cleaning.

This indicates that the Flowmeter is either dirty or defective, it sends incorrect messages back to the electroninc board about the waterflow. It`s located on the left side (seen from behind) as a white sircular box with 2 hoses and an electrical contact on top of the lid.
