20 Most Recent Grindmaster B-SAP Coffee Maker Questions & Answers

After the first brew the machine should brew excactly the amount of water added to the water reservoir. Since the reservoir always keep half full then you should add the maximum amount you need in two steps.

Here are some of the most common problems that can cause your coffee brewer to stop working:

• The power cord or on/off switch can go bad. In either of these cases, it's best to get a pro to replace it or buy a new coffee maker -- replacing it improperly can lead to a fire.
• The one-way valve can get clogged open or closed. You can usually fish out the debris that causes this problem with a toothpick.
• The tubes can get clogged with calcium. This is especially true of the aluminum heating tube. The normal way to solve this problem is to run vinegar through the machine once, and then run two batches of water through to clean out the vinegar.

There are two problems that are nearly impossible to fix:

Failure of one of the heat-sensitive switches

(This is The coffee maker's temperature sensors)

Failure of the heating coil:

(This is the The coffee maker heating coil)

Because it's nearly impossible to get replacement parts, you probably have to buy a new coffee maker if one of these problems disables your machine. Now, when you make coffee tomorrow morning, you can do so with a new appreciation for exactly what's happening inside.

The Grind select lever moves the grind burrs together by the looks of it. Perhaps they are worn down by people grinding Turkish coffee or the mechanism isn't moving them closer together? There are helpful links and videos in the link https://www.google.com/search?q=Grindmaster+500 ..

Most grinders, especially the larger professional models will eventually need to have the grinding wheels (set of 2) changed out. They do wear down. The grinder will struggle as the burrs on the wheel dull out. This increases the time it takes to grind coffee and puts a heavy electrical load. Burnt out switches, tripping breaker, overheating, and burnt coffee grounds on espresso size are all symptoms of a worn burr set. It's common to find; stones, nails, jewelry, and small loose things found around coffee counters in the grinding wheels or burrs. Have a qualified operator remove all beans and hopper to check and brush out burr set. This should be done every day. Talk to your vendor if you find nails as they can easily correct this with a magnetic pick up. Another cause is very oily beans. Sometimes poorly roasted beans come out extremely oily which will gum up everything from the burrs, Moving parts, and electrical components. Disassembly of entire machines may be necessary. .Final note; since you mentioned a switch swap. It's possible the switch is underrated for use in this machine. Most will work in a pinch but like a 'spare' tire in a car, they are only ment to get you to a service center for replacement.

this is a normal problem! first make sure you fill too top! also heat up urn with hot water prior to adding the hot coffee!

Check the Operating Temperature: Ensure that the machine has reached the correct operating temperature. If it hasn't, the indicator light will be on. Wait until the machine is fully heated before proceeding. Check for Ongoing Programs: If a rinse or cleaning program is currently in progress, the cleaning button may be flashing. Wait for any ongoing programs to complete before trying to brew coffee. Inspect the Brewing Unit: Make sure the brewing unit is properly seated and not obstructed. The brew group should be in the correct position. If the brew group overflows, it could be due to a blockage or misalignment. Remove the brew group, clean it thoroughly, and reinsert it properly. Inspect the Coffee Spout and Drainage Area: Check the coffee spout for any clogs or blockages. Clean it if necessary. Examine the drainage area at the bottom of the machine. If water is running away onto the floor, there may be a leak. Inspect the drip tray and other components for leaks or damage. Refer to the Operating Manual: Consult the operating instructions manual for your Schaerer Coffee Club machine. If the above do not resolve your issues, you may have to contact Schaerer Services.

They make a thousand models. It sounds like the heating element has failed. Generic help and videos in the link but these machines need dealer service at regular intervals depending on the complexity of the particular model. https://www.google.com/search?q=Dolce+Gusto+coffee+Machine+no+hot+water ..

These machines need dealer servicing every 6 to 12 months. They don't tell you that when you buy them. There are some ideas here https://www.google.com/search?q=De+Longhi+Magnifica+warning+triangle ..
