Top 20 DeLonghi Nespresso EN660 Espresso Machine Questions & Answers

I don't know why my answer posted in the comments section, so here it is in the proper area. I had the same problem and was ready to send it in for repairs, but I talked to a great guy at Nespresso who helped me fix it myself. The problem was when I pushed the latte button, it would only froth milk for a second or two and then the espresso would start pouring. It basically refused to make a latte. Here's the things he had me do:1) Descale immediately. I have an older machine, and descaling once a year does NOT cut it. He told me descaling every 5 months at the bare minimum, if your machine is not having any problems at all. Descaling is usually the main problem for lack of froth. I descaled and it seemed like the machine was working better almost immediately. I also ran 4 - 5 tanks of water through the hot water spout and the main espresso part (but mostly this is because it seems to take this much flushing to get the smell of the descaling solution out). 2) Reset your machine to factory settings. I have a classic Lattissima, so this is how you do it on that machine. Turn the machine on and wait until the drink buttons are steady (espresso and hot water buttons are no longer blinking to warm up). Then press and HOLD the power button until the espresso and hot water buttons BLINK THREE TIMES. Then they'll go back to steady again. You're now back to factory settings. I did notice that I started having the trouble after moving the machine, so I'm not sure which of the above solved the problem. The main thing is it worked and I'm back to yummy lattes!

on a N95 fill the water container and take it off the machine if it leaks its just the red seal on the botton but if thats not it put the water container back on full of water,let it sit for a bit,it wil leak out the front or side it will be the dark grey seal in the base were the outlet of the water container sits in, I found this with vmine anyway,it was hard to see it leaking but was a pain in the but!! i will talk to Delonghi or pull the seal out and match one the sameAnt

This normally happens because the milk supply tube is blocked with congealed, solidified milk. You will need to remove the tube and clean it manually.

'heating up please wait...' and that's it, suggests a fault with either a sensor or a control board... and in today's market, who could ever guess which? I'm sorry this is far more philosophical than technical. I really hate to say this. Still, if any half-way modern appliance has given you 15 years' service, what more would you have expected? Traditionally, you would have taken any faulty gizmo to a local repair expert, who would have fixed it for a charge greatly less than any replacement cost. Today, it's almost inconceivable that the cost of even diagnosing, let alone fixing any fault would be comparable to the cost of replacing (whatever) with a new one.

According to the De'Longhi UK website, the error message "Close Door" could be caused by two issues : The brewing unit is not installed properly in the unit. You can try turning the unit off, remove and reinstall the brew unit, and then turn the unit back on to see if it reset itself. The latch on the service door has coffee build up and is restricted from moving freely. Please clean the latch area and make sure the door closes. If neither of these solutions work, you may need to contact DeLonghi support for further assistance.

There are some suggestions here, but not as much as I would like. you will probably need to take it to a service centre. These machines need regular dealer service as they are all very unreliable. https://www.google.com/search?q=DeLonghi+Magnifica+coffee+machine+error+code+%27close+door%27+does+not+go+off ..

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Cars and Trucks. It shouldn't need calibrating from new, but yours does.

This is the third time in 2 days. Is this the same person HIDING behind 'Anonymous'? Watch videos and read. Or take to a dealer. These home coffee machines need dealer service once a year, but they don't tell you that when you buy them. My machines in a commercial setting serving up to a thousand cups a day were serviced every 3 months. https://www.google.com/search?q=DeLonghi+Esam+4500+stuck+in+empty+grounds+container+while+its+empty+and+inserted Or if you want to ask the question to a DeLonghi technician, go to www.justanswer.com ..

Based on the information provided, it is possible that there is an issue with the machine's internal circuitry or wiring. It could also be a problem with the control board or the sensors that detect the presence of the milk jug or hot water spout. One possible solution is to try resetting the machine to its default settings. To do this, turn off the machine and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on again. This may help reset any internal settings that could be causing the issue. If resetting the machine does not work, it may be necessary to have it serviced by a professional technician. They can diagnose and repair any underlying issues with the machine's components. It is also worth noting that regular maintenance and cleaning of the milk frother and hot water spout can help prevent issues from occurring in the first place. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and descaling these parts of the machine. Overall, if the issue persists, it is recommended to contact Delonghi customer support or a certified technician for further assistance.

These machines are designed to fail, especially this particular model which is here on Fixya many times a week. The only way to fix is dealer service due to computers and software controlling them.

Now you know why is was a secondhand machine. This type of machine is featured on this website with faults 10 to 15 times a week. They are fully computer operated and the only way to diagnose is usually via a laptop with dealer software, or they just swap out the main control board and/or the sensor and hope for the best. https://www.google.com/search?q=DeLonghi+Autentica+ETAM29.510.B+%27The+pre-ground+coffee+funnel+is+clogged.%27+error ..

There is no video? You can only link it to the post if it is on YouTube, or you can put a text link to a place like DropBox. These machines need professional service every 6 to 12 months, but they don't tell you that when you buy one! The appears to be a few different models of Eletta, they seem to be a series. I see one with a milk tank on the left and another that makes two cups with a flat front. If it is leaking from the milk steam spout, they need soaking in a milk enzyme cleaner because the milk gets baked on inside the tube. They also have o-ring seals when one part joins another. https://www.google.com/search?q=de%27longhi+eletta+steam+leaking+water ..

Hello,
Usually it's a problem with microswich on top of the brewing plunger. If you are able to disassemble the coffeemachine you can change it.
Good luck!

Question edited for clarity. You are aware that we are Fixya and not DeLonghi? These machines are problematical in home use, and when they go wrong you just pick them up and take them to the nearest Service Centre. Too many models and they all have issues. https://www.google.com/search?q=Delonghi+Esam+2800+coffee+machine.+Not+grinding%2C+tray+light+on Different machine, same issue
