First I'm not a Delonghi tech. But I have worked on similar table top "Super Automatic" machines. You should call your vendor for service as there is no customer serviceable parts in this machine. *** the following is for information only. *** * There are usually separate boilers for table top units. There is a pump and heater system for each section. (usually 2 for this type of machine. But there may be a third system if you have the Coco option. * Since each system is separate then your Latte/cappucino system has a problem. I will list the most common but all require a qualified service tech to repair/replace. (lots of small parts crammed into a very small space.) * Cap/Latte Membrane button not working. If it feels mushy (not like the other buttons) then the button panel needs to be replaced. * There is a CPU/PC board malfunction. Replace * There is air in the water line to the Cap/Latte system. Make sure the water tank is filled. Power down. Wait 10 seconds. Power back up. Press the Cap/latte button to start the pump. Watch the steam wand if water flows out. If it does, then wait 30 seconds and try again. should be steaming. * No steam or at least hot water? Just cold water? Then the steam heater and/or thermo-fuse, thermo-disk, needs to be replaced. * Got hot water but little to no steam? Then steam unit and/or thermo disk needs to be replaced. (best to replace both as a whole unit; tank, Heater, and Thermo-disk) * Heats up very hot but sputters water and steam. Clean steam wand and/or tip (if removable) If it leaks steam at the top of the wand near the body of the machine then the whole wand needs to be replaced. * Still sputtering? The steam system is clogging up. Call for service. * Final; I'm not a fan of de-scaling as it causes more problems for the machine. I've always found that using filtered water (bottled ok) is best. Water softeners if available is okay. BUT stay away from HARD water and Ultra Pure (100%) water as it leaches out the metal ions from the machine. Aloha, ukeboy57 P.S. Since you have already taken things apart, I'm guessing you don't mind jumping to the 'guts'. Your probably looking at a clog at the vibration pump all the way to the hot water (or steam) tip. It can clog anywhere there is water. It may even be the water hose (with filter?) or the water tank. Start from the tank and keep trying to get water to flow through each section. You will need power for this so be careful! There are a lot of you tube vids showing how to check the common vibration pump. Bring your reading glasses as it have very small parts (and don't lose the spring or the small ball!) Good luck! Aloha, ukeboy57

Sensor my be stuck,let set for a while with solution 1 hour or longer then try.

When a coffee beverage has been prepared, the coffee machine also rinses the coffee lines before turning off.

First I'm not a Delonghi tech. But I have worked on similar table top "Super Automatic" machines. You should call your vendor for service as there is no customer serviceable parts in this machine. *** the following is for information only. *** * If your leaking at or under the water tank then check for crack or you may be missing a rubber seal, o-ring, or washer. Replace the whole tank as a unit. * If your leaking into the dregs or drip tray then there is a problem with the brewing system. Call for service. They may need to replace the brew valve or PC board. * If your leaking at the bottom, drip tray, or side only when the pump buzzes (pumping water) then there is a cracked or disconnected hose line or fitting. Call for service and replace. * If your leaking when the steam wand is in use then there is a similar problem with the 2nd pump system. Call for service and replace. * If your leaking liquid coffee into the dregs tray or drip tray. Then you have a worn or missing group gasket(s). Call for service and replace. (you may find gasket kits from Amazon.com or online.) * Final; Leaking water and electrical equipment is not a good idea. Best to be safe. Unplug and call for service. Aloha, ukeboy57

Hello, Jean - Delonghi makes a number of different cappuccino machines. If you had stated the model number of the machine, I probably could have found you the manual for the homeowner's machine online. I found a user's manual for the Delonghi ESAM5500. The manual has an illustration which shows where the grounds container for that machine is located. If the homeowner's cappuccino machine is not an ESAM5500, the grounds container for their machine may be in a similar location. This is the link to the user manual for the Delonghi ESAM5500: http://kavegepbolt.hu/shop_ordered/9160/pic/Saeco/DELONGHIESAM5500.pdf It is a PDF document, so you will need Adobe Reader software (free). Page 17 of the manual talks about how to clean the machine, including cleaning the grounds container. In the instructions part A9 (which is illustrated on Page 3 of the manual) is identified as the grounds container. Just to be sure, if you can contact the homeowners, do so and ask them where the manual for their cappuccino machine manual is located, so you can refer to it and so that you do not accidentally damage the machine. Best wishes.

Maybe this will help, if you haven't cleaned it before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PlzebYaMEI

You have to prime it ,trought hot water knob. Prime 2-3 cups ,and it have to be done.

there is a temperature sensor of the boiler. It must be changed to allow the machine to warm up to the normal temperature.

do it again,but read carefully instructions

First, I'm not a Delonghi technician. * pour pour, shot, puck, etc. are signs of an improperly prepared espresso. This can be caused by many things but since this is an robotic machine that performs the same time and time again then lets assume for now that the machine is working properly. If the machine is at fault then it will require service from your vendor or directly from the MFR. * Did you change beans? Poor quality beans are usually easy to spot; Lighter color beans, Multi-color, very oily (shiny ok but not dripping like butter), flavored beans (poor quality bean with flavor added). All automatic espresso or cappuccino machines are expected to have Espresso roast with French roast or at least a Dark roast as the basis for any coffee beverage. Lesser roasts; regular, mild, house roast tend to make a poor cup. Clean out all old coffee and replace with a high quality ESPRESSO roast coffee (Lavazza is a good example) Run machine through 3 or more cycles to flush out old beans and oils. It may take 10 or more cycles so be patient. * Did you change water source? Since this is a table top machine in which you fill the water tank. Try to use filtered (bottled ok) water. Do Not use Distilled or 100% pure water as this type of water will eat out the metals from your machine! Some places use a water softener as it tends to be better for the machine long term (years). * Finally; Beans and Water are the two things you can control. If your still having problems then lets look at the machine: Can you reset it to original factory settings? Do so and check results. If it's okay then SLOWLY make your changes one at a time till you get the best result or stop if it gets worst. Note: once set to your liking then DON'T change beans or water as it will change everything. (even a batch of beans can be bad. Stay with a reputable coffee roaster!) * Still got problems? Check with vendor or MFR for service or replacement. Most machines of this type do not have serviceable parts or adjustments. P.S. Wet pucks are a sign of too little ground coffee for a standard shot or the puck is not being pressed down to the standard (compacting) coffee dose. Too large a grind with too little coffee for standard dose. If your changed the settings on your machine then you will need to reset it to factory settings and start over again. Otherwise most of these settings are fixed and your unit will need servicing from your vendor or directly from MFR. Aloha, ukeboy57

Put the grinder to higher position. If is on 2 put it on 4 and try again to make coffees.

hi Kathy. see if this helps you out. For machines without an automatic descaling cycle:

1. Dissolve the descaling agent into a full reservoir.
2. Pull the solution into your boiler by running about a cup of water out of your steam wand. ...
3. Turn off the machine and let sit for 20 minutes. ...
4. After 20 minutes, run about 1/2 of the reservoir out of the steam wand.

How to Descale Home Espresso Machine or try this link. how to descale delonghi espresso machine Google Search

Hi Yes it may need descaling - deposits like calcium etc from 'clean' town water will build up in the machines boilers and tubes over time - that's why we descale them regularly - even if they don't get a lot of use. Suggest you get some proper descaling liquid, not vinegar or CLR, read the manual on how to do it (download it off the net if you don't have it). ( it takes a little while as the descaler has to eat away those deposits and the machine will pump a little water out, then wait for a while, pump a little more etc until its finished the process) Make sure your filter in the coffee dispenser handle is clean as coffee itself will build up and block those tiny holes if the machine is not porperly cleaned each day when used. Cheers Mike

How to reset to factory default values Caution: It will reset all menu settings and programmed to the default values. 1. Press the "P" button to enter settings. 2.

check how many machines run on that circuit at one time, add up all the watts (on the bottom of the units) divide by the line voltage, this will be amps used, pull the fuse and check the rating, if higher than the amps used the machine is faulty, if lower the fuse may be updated if the cables are rated to take the extra load.

I have a DCU72 which had a chipped tube (TG007) which seems discontinued. I purchased a TG039 from www.thegourmetdepotco.com, and this seems a usable replacement. The only caveats are that the tube is slightly shorter (7 inches) than the previous one, so I cannot fill the pot to the 60 cup capacity (keep at about 50-55 cups or less). The other option I did not try is to just not have a coffee level tube, and block the hold in the spigot with a plastic disk the same diameter as the original tube.
