When I press Cappuccio, the machine is not generating power to heat the machine. Press it, nothing happens. Everything else is working fine on the machine. There is nothing wrong with the button, it worked once, and now it won't. What's up with that?
Hey everyone!
I recently made this video on YouTube explaining how to solve this very problem.

My friend your problem is that the frother heat is foulty
SOURCE: Frother not working
The frother does not have a vacuum, it uses venturi pressure to draw up milk through a venturi at the top of the steam feed. The milk side is clogged from not cleaning enough. soak in boiling water for a few minutes and try to run it in steam mode for a while... if that doesnt work, a light lye solution will dissolve the milk residue clogging it. neutralize the lye with vinegar drawn through after the clog is gone.
(lye will dissolve you as well as milk... use gloves and don't put your face near it while it's working.)
SOURCE: milk container won't fit onto front of machine
We had the same problem & worked out that it's because the actual milk container is too cold & has contracted from being in a cold part of the fridge. We moved the milk container to the door of the fridge ( it's a little warmer than the rest of the fridge) & it slotted in perfectly the next morning!

Try to turn the steam knob to off postion and the switch off and on again. If the light insist that means that the steam micro-switch which is activated by turning the knom is either stuck in on position or is faulty and need to be replaced.

Hi rspence423,
You aren't by any chance writing from Australia?
Parts are pretty hard to come by online except there.
You will have to contact DeLonghi customer care to order the part. Here is their contact page: >>>> http://www.delonghiusa.com/index.php?texts&pid=3
DeLonghi is structurally identical to Krups. If you can't get anything from DeLonghi, you could try doing a google search for Krups parts and contact a customer service person at one of their parts suppliers.
Good luck.
Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate a 4 thumbs up. Thanks,
Handie Andie

From the question I understand that the steam jet is rushing into the cup but it is not able to draw milk. The jet of steam pulls the milk from the container (within a reasonable distance from the frother). With proper air mix from the air inlet in the frother, it generates foam. Suction of milk is enough when the milk tube connection at the frother end is airtight. Air sucked into the frother with milk (due to loose connection) reduces the suction of milk. Please try the following:
1- Make sure that the passage of milk between the milk container and the frother is not kinked.
2- Make sure the connection of the frother to the steam outlet is airtight. Air sucked in at this connection also reduces the suction of milk from the milk container.
3- Make sure the tube drawing milk from milk container to the frother is airtight at the frother end.
An extra suggestion to a related matter: Many operators feel that the steamed milk is not hot. This happens when the flow of milk id more than the steam can heat. Reduce the flow of milk for hotter foamed milk.
First slightly pinch the tube between finger and thumb to reduce milk flow. If that results in a better temperature of milk filling the cup, then you need to find a flow constrictor device.
The flow constrictor is a simple bushing with a hole through it to allow milk tube to pass through. There a screw (metal or plastic) threaded through its wall that can be tightened to pinch the milk tube and reduce the milk flow .
