Saeco Vienna Deluxe leaking problem and grinder problem

Posted by caquijote on May 07, 2009
My Saeco Vienna Deluxe started to leak water underneath and the grinder will only grind coarse and not fine for good espresso, should I ditch this one or repair? I know Saeco is not good at customer service but loved the coffee this machine made for over 2 years. Thanks.

    You were absolutely right, the water leak was precisely coming from the chamber below the water valve that drains on the tray. Thank you. I set the grinder manually after removing all other parts and I got it to grind finely again but I'm sure at one point this will be remedial at best.

I would repair it, it sounds like the grinder needs to be adjusted (burrs may be dull), and the leak on the bottom may be coming from the small drain hole on the back of the brew chamber. If you remo;ve the chamber you will see the white water valve that the chamber connect to, if you look below the white valve the small chamber in there will be filled with water, below that there is a small discharge use a stit stick or paper clip to clear hole.

Check the little chamber under the white plastic valve behind the brew unit, that might be blocked with coffee.

My Saeco Vienna Deluxe has water leaking out from somewhere underneath - clear water.

There are so many places to check, but lets check the small chamber under the white plastic valve, which sits behind the brew unit, clean out the chamber of coffee grounds. If that is not the cause then, you will have to open the machine to find the leak.

Grinder settings for Vienna Deluxe

Hi
To start off with, you should not change the big knob unless the grinder is operating at the time.
Set the small knob to the middle position. You can move this any time. Move towards the + mark to strengthen the coffee, but never all the way to the full +.
Set the big knob to the #8 to start off with. Move it 1 # smaller to make the coffee stronger but be careful not to get it to fine as you will clog the grinder and you will have to take it apart to clean. If you ever get an out of beans light, but there are beans in the hopper, open the knob to #16 for 1 cycle, then turn it back down to a # 1 larger than you had before and leave it unless you get the message again. Shiny beans call for a coarser grind than a dull bean because of the oils in the coffee bean. Oils will cause the grinds to stick together and cause clogs faster than beans that have less oil.

Saeco vienna Deluxe grinder doesn't work properly

Hi,

Try to open the steam knob and make a cup of water.
Make sure everything is in place.

One more thing you can try is:
open the door, take out the brewing unit, driptray and dregsbox.
Look in the machine and you will see three hole, one in the lower left corner, one in the middle above the driving shaft and one in the right upper corner.
Turn on the machine and put a screwdriver in each hole and see if the lights go off.

Hope this will help you.
