YOU MAY FIND CACTUS IN THE GARDEN BUT YOU COFFEE MAKER NEEDS TO BE CLEANED OUT TRY CLEANING THE SPOUT FROM OUT SIDE WITH A LONG NIDDLE LIKE TO CLEAN THE CHANNEL PLUS RUN SOME WORM WATER TO MELT IT DOWN
It's probably clogged up with hard water deposits. Fill the water reservoir with plain white vinegar and put the espresso pot in place as usual, but do not load coffee! Run as usual for making espresso.You may have to run a couple of tanks, until the vinegar is pretty much colorless. Then run a couple of tanks of water to flush the vinegar. If your machine has a steam valve for frothing milk, put the steamer pot under it and open the valve as well. Over time, the steam valve can clog up with milk solids, called casein, which is actually a form of organic plastic.
OK, I can answer this one... the same thing happened to me. It would
not recognize the water spout. No beep when inserted, but it would beep
if you inserted the milk container. Looking into the receptacle, I saw
that the switch for the milk container is offset to the right, and the
switch for the water spout is offset to the left. All I had to do was
carefully bend the lower tang on the water spout that activates the
switch to the left a little bit. It looked perfectly straight, but was
just offset to the right enough to miss the switch.
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.)
I have the same problem as well, talked to a repair shop and it's definitely a "send in" or warranty repair. I was told it's an o-ring issue. I have no water coming out of the steam wand and it goes into the dispense tray instead.
You are not supposed to put milk in the resevoir and run it through the machine. That's likely the problem. But like most parents you will continue to blame your child until he is totally alienated and your relationshio is an empty shell.
