We have noticed that the o-ring is lying in the drip tray. Not sure where it goes? Do you know where about we should be looking and how to put it back on. We have a Franke Flair. Because the o-ring is not in when making coffee it is all going in the drip tray!

Looking at the PDF Cleaning Instructions at the following link you'll see O-Rings on the Frothing Head, Items 1 & 2 in the Centre Picture. There are also O-Rings on the white Coffee Outlet Pipes in the Right Picture.

http://www.caffesociety.co.uk/uploads/pdfs/franke/flair-cleaning.pdf

I suspect the one you've found is from the Coffee Outlet Pipes and may be worth just replacing them both with new (link below) while you've got it stripped apart.

If you just wet the O-Rings a bit they should just slip back over the collar at the front of the pipe.

When I turn on the steam valve, nor hot water nor steam comes out (not one drop), it doesn't make it to the nozzle and instead it goes directly to the drip tray. Coffees dispense works...

Hi, sounds like either you have a blocked or fauly solenoid, or micro switch or the water inlet side of the boiler is bocked. This is easy to fix. You need to be able to get to the inlet on the boiler, undo the water line and drill it out using a 3mm drill bit. Dazza

Ice lies in tray in big lumps

If the water fill tube in back of ice maker is frozen also it is very possible that the water control valve is defective for the ice maker side. For example to turn off a faucet and it it off but there is that constant drip of a bad seal in valve that needs to be replaced. I am not saying this is the solution but this is the most likely reason. I will need you to answer before you rate. Some customers come here because they need answers yet are not able to answer back. Were you wrote Quote, (ice lies in tray in big lumps) I noticed that you placed no model number. Then ae you sure the model number above your post is RS2630SH? Thanks, Sea Breeze

I have a Saeco Talea. The drip tray will go up

Probably the touch pad is faulty. Before we decide that make sure the bottom touch area is dry and nothing sticking on to it.Can be check by removing the 2 screws underneath.
The worst case senerio will be the CPU which is not receiving the signal from the touch pad.

Water collects on the bottom of the freezer i own a frigidaire s/s frs26zrg, water also comes out onto the floor on the left side. Doesn't look like its coming from inside of the frig saw it once as...

UNPLUG REFRIG. Empty freezer. Wipe interior dry. Check defrost hole at back of freezer & clean out as much as you can. Pull out refrig. Take off back cardboard cover. Lie on floor and look in. Bottom right under the defrost hole there is a black rubber hose that empties into a drip tray. Black mold grows inside and plugs it up. Get a thin aquarium brush and push it up the tube to clear it. Put the tube back into the tray to drain. Put everything back. Plug it in. Fixed.

Saeco Espresso machine - Empty drip tray (all the time)

aye that is true if you click the coffe making button directly after you have had it out you will be able to make a cup, as the machine has a 2 second response time.

Ok here is what i think:
As it registers the driptray I dont think its the sensor to it.
More i would think that its the CPU card that is not responding to that its clean.

I am sry but I have to ask this:
When it says emptie the driptray are you actually taking out the container that is located under the brewing unit, and not the "drip tray" were you put the coffe mugs?

Also when i think i have a sensor problem I allways take out everything. Brewing unit, dripwater container, dregbox, and the watercontainer. and have it out for atleast 2 minutes ( clean it under the mean time) and put it back again.

As I dont have the machine infront of me i cant be certain:)

Washing machine wm1814cw

Check the wire ring that goes around the rubber seal located just inside the door - we had to call a repair person out one day because our door was leaking, and he told us it's important that the spring be at the top of the door opening to prevent leaks from happening. He had a hard time moving the spring to the top but that seemed to help.

A few months later we found a water leak from our soap tray, so we had the tray replaced under warranty, although I'm not sure that helped because the replacement looked identical to the old one. It only leaked when we used powdered Oxyclean and liquid soap in the tray at the same time; the leaking water ran behind the front cover and dripped out onto the floor all along the front of the machine, mostly near the left corner, but we stopped putting Oxyclean into the tray & the problem stopped. Hope that helps.

Sub Zero Frezzer drawer

I had the same problem. I found the piece of plastic in the ice tray and couldn't figure how to put it back. I ordered a new ice flapper from the parts place on the internet and installed it. The ice maker now shuts off. Good Luck.
