The Operating Instructions for your machine can be found here:

http://www.capresso.com/pdf/inst_s9a.pdf

Are you getting any Error Messages? Refer to the Troubleshooting Error Messages on page 30.

Is the low water flotation device in place and working?

Suggest you walk through the instructions for Preparing the Machine for the First Time on page 11.

Pay special attention to the water filter cartridge as I suspect this will need replacing, page 18 & 19.

You may also need to run a decalcification cycle, page 28, to make sure deposits have not plugged the machine.

There is a Quick Reference Guide available for your machine which you may also find helfpul:

Message is in german and switches to series of numbers

Would it be possible to find someone who understands German to look at it for you? Maybe they could get it to change if they :spoke" to it in its own language.

Tried to rinse with vinegar/water solution, and it worked 2 times, then went back to rinsing into the watse tray. Another problem kept popping up now too. 'Epmty Tray' displays, eventhought

this is a diagram of the drip tray & drip tray contacts for the Jura S-Series S Series Impressa S7, S7 Avantgarde, S8, S9, S9 Avantgarde, S90, S95, C3000 capresso 153, X70, X90, and XS90 One Touch Models.

"EMPTY TRAY" or "EMPTY GROUNDS" (on other machines) is activated when the 2 metal contacts can complete an low volt electrical circuit through high waste water or wet caked-on coffee grounds. the area is marked in RED. careful examine this area and observe the obstruction and gunk and compare with bare clean black abs plastic. the gunk is dull and rough. use soft tools (toothpick, bamboo skewer) to scratch through the gunk. use warm water and soap and a low bristle height brush to thoroughly remove all buildup from this area. dry the metal contact and contacts area with a high percentage alcohol. visualize the insertion slots deep inside the machine (for the metal contacts marked 414) with a flashlight and verify that the female contact point pads have not been bent and are separate and distinct.

the GREEN arrow indicates a thin black plastic finger-like protrusion. this finger (when the tray is inserted) will press against the "TRAY MISSING" small white relay switch deep inside the machine. use a flashlight to visualize the small switch. verify that the switch is securely mounted and clicks when depressed (up) using a soft tool (bamboo skewer) and note the sound. verify the finger is not damaged or chipped off. listen for the sound very carefully when the tray is fully inserted into the machine. if it is not these preliminary factors, the relay switch should be replaced.

Jura S90 hasn't been used for many years. Close Tap Message

When I got my S90 I didn't have a manual or any paperwork on it. I had the same problem and found that the Selector knob for coffee or hot water (in the upper right area) was on hot water. Once I turned it back to the coffee selection I could use the rest of the functions. I hope this helps.

My Jura Impressa xs90 keeps stating fill system, even after filling the system several times for the last 3 days.

Empty the Water tank and fill it with warm water. Then keep trying for some time and the problem will get solved.

I have a s9 avantgarde keep getting error fill bean even though i have plenty of bean in the hopper

Seems Problem with the bean sensor. you need to get the same replaced. there are no setting that can be done manually for bean sensor.

A Jura Engineer can check the Bean sensor with his computer system and confirm if the bean sensor is faulty.

I can't get past the 'open tap'/'close tap prompts on my Impressa

I had this problem with my Ena 3. The difference was that water was actually passing through the nozzle, but when I turned the dial back to the coffee symbol it would just tell me to open the tap again.

The solution was simple thanks to bergend's post, although I'd never have thought of it independently. I emptied the water tank and filled it back up with luke warm water instead of the cold water I had been using. After the first "system filling" round, the machine continued with the setup program fine.

So, to others with this problem: don't use too cold water in the tank for the first setup, even though the manual tells you to. Luke warm works great.

Machine says malfunction and won't froth milk

If you have a rotarywheel; Press and hold to enter the menu, turn to Maintenance, select Decalcify unit; empty tray as requested, fill up 600ml water in a container. Disolve 3 Descaling tablets in the water, and then fill it in the watertank. Press Maintenance button and you`re off.

If you don`t have a Rotary; Turn off the machine and let it cool down for a while, then push the Rinse/Maintenance button for a few seconds; then you will get the message Empty tray. Fill the solution in the watertank and press button.

It`s important that you use the right amount of water, or else the process will "never" finish.
