Top 20 Jura Capresso Impressa S90 Espresso Machine Questions & Answers

check small float in tank is not stuck in the down position

Jura x7 coffee machines are older models in the coffee machine range. It may simply require a full system clean, using jura cleaning tablets, or more likely a service. Bean to cup machines should really be serviced every year to 18 months depending on usage.We can put you in touch with a Jura engineer if you need one, contact me here Denby Dale Coffee

Hello.

1 Perform the initial setup on the coffee maker. Make sure the coffee maker is not plugged in. Slide the empty funnel into the funnel guides, fill the decanter with cold water, open the lid and pour water from the decanter into the brewer, put the decanter back on the base, then close the lid and wait three minutes for the internal tank to partially fill. Open the lid, fill the decanter with cold water again, and once more pour the water directly into the brewer. Put the decanter back on the base and wait for water to flow out of the funnel and into the decanter. Once it has stopped flowing, pour out any water that is in the decanted and plug in the coffee maker. Press the on switch to turn the coffee maker on and heat up the water in the tank.

2 Ensure the lid is completely closed. If the lid is open, the Bunn coffee maker will not brew coffee.

3 Check the see how much water is in the water tank. The Bunn coffee maker will not begin brewing coffee if less than 20 ounces (4 cups) of water is present in the water reservoir tank.
4 Delime the coffee maker. Unplug the coffee brewer and allow it to cool down. Remove the sprayhead by turning it by hand and set it aside. Insert the flexible deliming tool into the sprayhead tube until all but two inches are showing. You may need to twist and force the tool to go in. Slide the tool in and out several times to loosen lime buildup.
Check the sprayhead for lime buildup. If there are flakes of minerals, they can be removed with a toothpick. Scrub the sprayhead with soap and water. Rinse the sprayhead with water and replace it in the coffee maker. Pour water into the water tank and turn the coffee maker on, allowing water to run through without making any coffee. This will flush any lime fragments through the system. Empty the decanter

Thanks.

Hi,

According to your problem, decaling is necessary for after every 300 cup coffee. Check the water knob and water passing pipe if there is any blockage. Open the machine by unscrew it and check the circuit or you can take assistance from nearest engineer because it is not too easy job for a nontechnical person. You can also try by help of manual. To get the manual you can visit wbsite or nearest dealer of the product.

Hi,
Did you work it out? I am having the same problem with my X&-S model.

You a have a blockage in the spouts. This is caused by a number of things:

• You used the wrong grind coarseness in the pre-grind
• you used the wrong cleaning table for the machine (this is the most common)
• you have an insect in the spout
• The plumbing system has a fault, where the switch that re-routes the water is stuck

Try the following:

• Take a paper clip and bend it open
• Then that the point of the bent open peice, and insert in each one of the spouts and check if there is a blockage
• if you feel something or something comes out, see if the rinse works, try a few times

If that does not solve the problem then you may need to get a service tech to look at it

see no steam solutions under Jura S9

I had a similar problem. I took off the side and rear cover, followed the hose that comes from the steam wand to the rear of hte unit. It enters a solenoid made by ACL Italy. I dismantled the solenoid unit by disconnecting the two hose ends, removing the relay, and unscrewing the plunger unit (vertical pipe). The plunger unit internals should move freely up and down like a piston in a cylinder , powered by a small spring. In my unit, this plunger was calcified and seized. I soaked it in boiling water and pressed on it gently several times and it unstuck. I put it all back together again and presto! Good luck

This is a POSSIBLE solution: First, where is the leak? are you getting water into the used grounds storage tank? If so you have a bad gasket around the grounds damper. Pressurized water flows through that and into the system to make coffee when all is well. When the gasket, which is nothing more than a large "O" ring breaks the water spews out and gets into the used grounds and waste tray. This is an easy fix except for one thing: it's very difficult to get to the part! The "O" ring can be found at just about any good auto parts store but you must have the old one off to get the proper size and guage. It's a rather thick ring. On my capresso I was able to get the old ring off by feeling around and using a small hooked pick. Use a mirror and flashlight to see it and MAKE SURE TO UNPLUG the unit FIRST. The damper I'm talking about is just behind the flap you'll feel in the cavity where the used grounds/waste tray fits. It's the round object with lots of tiny holes in it an a screw in the middle. The "O" ring goes around the outside of that damper nearest the top of the machine. It's tricky to get to but can be done. The only other solution is to send the machine back to Capresso and have them do it as they have the proper tools to totally dismantle the machine to more easily do the repair.

The tool looks like two pronged fork...

I have the same problem..... you have a faulty brew unit... you will need to send your unit to Jura USA for repair..... I know this the hard way as I cant get them to sell me the darned spare part....

When I got my S90 I didn't have a manual or any paperwork on it. I had the same problem and found that the Selector knob for coffee or hot water (in the upper right area) was on hot water. Once I turned it back to the coffee selection I could use the rest of the functions. I hope this helps.

Then it is a problem with the flowmeter. This needs to be changed, please contact your local dealer.

The Error 5 indicates that the machine has been too cold. This can be from transportation or if the machine has been exposed for cold temperature for some time. If that is so, keep the machine in a warm place a few hours and then try again.

If this doesn`t help, it can be that the thermofuse or the sensor on the thermoblock is broken, Then this has to be changed by a technician.

Hi.
I had been getting Malfunction 8 for some time, and letting the machine cool (turning it off) for 15 minutes was the only way to not get the error. It always sounded like it was "straining" to make coffee. It would generally try 3 times to clear itself before the Malfunction 8, I'm sure those with the problem will recognize the symptoms. All the rinse/ decalcify/on/off stuff was temporary. We lived with this for 5 months or so. Finally, it would only get a Malfunction 8, and so became unusable, and we were considering sending it in for repair. This was the second round of Malfunction 8 problems; the first seemed to fix itself for an unknown reason. On to the fix: Unplug, remove the water tank, pull out the bucket and tray, and allow to cool if necessary. Now - smaller fingers are better - reach into the machine, palm up. Feel as far back as you can, then work your way forward, toward yourself. As you move toward you will feel a flat area about an inch wide (measuring front to back). Just back of this (away from yourself), you'll feel a crack about 3/8" to 1/2" wide. Push your fingers up into this area and feel around. You will probably feel stuff that feels like light, chunky rocks. Break these up and they should fall out. Again, small fingers are better and once I got an idea of what I was doing, I described it to my wife and she did it. There is a tendency to not feel far enough back in the machine, so be sure to find the flat place at the lowest point of the mechanism then go just past it and up to find the crack. Pulled out about five crusty chunks of burned, almost charcoal like compressed coffee. I also got about a foot of plumber's tape (the metal stuff with holes in it that's useful for just about everything) bent it with a 4" radius, and worked it up into the crack to break up any stuff we couldn't reach. Work at this until no more stuff is in there. Now, tilt the machine toward you and "pat" firmly all over to jog anything left into the crack area, and check for chuncks again. When that's done, put everything back together, move the machine to where you can work from the top. Don't start it up. Get a flashlight and a wooden spoon. Open the top "pre-ground" door and peer in. With the wooden spoon handle, poke in there and tap everything to break up any stuck things. I thought a shopvac with a small tube might work here, too, but wasn't sure whether something bad might happen. Anyway, tap tap tap about 100 times. Now start up the machine. Keep peering in; watch how the mechanism works, and don't trap the spoon handle! Now, try to brew some coffee. While it's actually squeezing out the coffee, tap some more on the "closed" mechanism to free up any more stuck coffee. Do this whole procedure 3-4 times to be sure, but don't drink any of the coffee it brews: The first ejected puck looked really aweful - it looked like about 1/3 moldy coffee; of course the machine had been sitting for 3 weeks, probably stuck in the middle of a puck ejection cycle. Anyway, the machine should run good as new. Good luck and please comment as to whether it works for you.

This is normal, after each cycle the brew unit will empty the drainvalve for excess water, this will ensure that the water used for each new cup is fresh from the watertank.

you need to clean / lubricate. See my post on
