Rinse error We have a Jura Capresso S9 and it wont activate the rinse cycle when the display asks to. We unplug unit or power down and it goes to select product without going through the rinse cycle. Any ideas short of bad rinse button?

Rinsing cycle at start up is electronically programmed function. Unplugging is a temporary solution.
Jura will not sell parts or offer any guidance.
I could look into more details to find an answer but the model Capressa 50 is not listed in my Data base.

Fortunately the problem you describe is not model specific. All Jura machines in the series C, E, F, J, S & Z models have the same problem. The Jura recommended maintenance is insufficient or erroneous. Here is how it occurs:
1- When new machine is set up, the instructions advice the owner to set up OK for use of Filter cartridges. This set helps only to display reminders for replacing the filter.
2- The initial set up instruction also advises that with regular use of Filter, descaling the machine will not be needed. That is really not accurate. Consequently, the reminders for descaling are delayed for over one year or more. This causes serious consequence with accumulation of Calcium deposits in the entire hydraulic and coffee system.
3- Use of Filters alone does not prevent Calcium deposits. Cleaning tables recommended & sold by Jura do not remove Calcium deposits in the coffee/water passages. The automatic descaling method recommended by Jura leaves the coffee side of the machine unclean. The error message in your machine is due to Calcium deposits in the Brew group, coffee outlet & the faucet dispensing coffee in the cup. I suggest all Jura machine owners should manually descale machine. Manually descaling includes use of 6 to 10 rinse cycles with descaling solution in the water tank. The error message "Clean Machine" is accurate. This error message is pointing to descale the Brew group, coffee outlet tube and coffee dispensing faucet by using rinse cycles.

After the rinse cycles are complete, refill Descaling solution in the water tank & continue descaling the rest of the machine by using hot water dispensing function, ½ cup at a time until the tank is empty. Finally, give a final flushing of machine to flush out remaining descaling solution inside the machine.

Hi Jeni
But.... does it self rinse when you Power Up?

Saving Water

You need to be patient and keep pressing the rinse button. I took a few water tanks of rinsing before it clicked over to heating mode. The manual and DVD need to mention this!

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.

Remove the heater plate on top. Then you can see the brewing unit. Switch the machine on. Press the rinse button when told by display. Watch the movements of the brewing unit and simply and cruely unplug when the movement is at top. Repeat if necessary. It may be that ground beans are aggregating and restricting the movements, in that case.....?

It can be that the grounds blade is loose, This will jam the brew unit when it`s finishing up. This is actually easy to fix, but you need an ovalbit to loosen the screws behind the watertank. Then you have to reatatch the groundsblade to the brew unit. But i recomend you to contact the local servicedepartement for Jura machines. They can help you with this in five minutes.
