Run a descale through it about 6 or more times. I also did the clean me function too with the single hole filter and the cleaning pad.
Fixed mine!
This is what came out.

Check other parts suppliers. It can only be an O-Ring or a compression fitting. https://www.google.com/search?q=frankie+little+butler+fh-160+parts+diagram ..

This can depend on how old the machine is and how much it has been used. If this is a 'domestic' machine they are not designed for heavy, regular use and often only last a few years before they can cause issues. This could be something as simple as a set of worn out blades. If they are worn they will act more like a scoop and throw the grain around instead of grinding it. Other than that it could simply be 'old' and reaching the end of it useful life.

Here are some possible reasons why the water in your Lavazza Jolie Pod Coffee Machine leaks out of the machine and no coffee comes out of the coffee pod:

• The water tank is not filled properly. Make sure that the water tank is filled to the correct level. The water level should be between the minimum and maximum marks on the water tank.
• The coffee pod is not inserted properly. Make sure that the coffee pod is inserted into the machine properly. The coffee pod should be inserted all the way into the machine until it clicks into place.
• The coffee pod is clogged. If the coffee pod is clogged, the water will not be able to flow through the pod and into the cup. Try using a different coffee pod or try cleaning the coffee pod.
• The machine is not descaled properly. If the machine is not descaled regularly, it can build up calcium deposits, which can prevent the water from flowing through the machine properly. Try descaling the machine with a descaling solution.
• The machine is defective. If you have checked all of the above and the problem persists, then the machine may be defective. In this case, you will need to contact Lavazza customer support for further assistance.

Here are some additional tips that might help:

• Use fresh, cold water. Stale or warm water can affect the taste of the coffee.
• Use a good quality coffee. Cheap coffee beans can make the coffee taste bitter.
• Grind the coffee beans to a medium-coarse grind. A too fine grind can make the coffee taste bitter, while a too coarse grind can make the coffee taste weak.
• Clean the coffee machine regularly. A dirty coffee machine can make the coffee taste bitter.

I hope this helps!

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that your Tchibo coffee maker is not brewing the large size coffee properly. Here are a few suggestions that might help:

1. Check the water level in the water tank. If the water level is too low, the machine may not be able to brew the large size coffee.
2. Make sure that the coffee filter is properly inserted into the filter holder. If the filter is not inserted properly, the machine may not be able to brew the large size coffee.
3. Clean the coffee maker. The coffee maker may be clogged, which can prevent it from brewing the large size coffee properly. You can clean the coffee maker with a mild detergent and water.
4. Descale the coffee maker. If the coffee maker is not descaled regularly, it can build up calcium deposits, which can prevent it from brewing the large size coffee properly. You can descale the coffee maker with a descaling solution.

If you have checked all of these things and the large size coffee is still not brewing properly, then you may need to contact Tchibo customer support for further assistance. Here are some additional tips that might help:

• Use fresh, cold water. Stale or warm water can affect the taste of the coffee.
• Use a good quality coffee. Cheap coffee beans can make the coffee taste bitter.
• Grind the coffee beans to a medium-coarse grind. A too fine grind can make the coffee taste bitter, while a too coarse grind can make the coffee taste weak.
• Clean the coffee maker regularly. A dirty coffee maker can make the coffee taste bitter.

There are a few possible reasons why the handle and coffee holder on your Krups machine have stopped locking in place. One possibility is that the coffee holder is not properly aligned with the portafilter. Another possibility is that the locking mechanism is damaged. To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:

1. Check to make sure that the coffee holder is properly aligned with the portafilter. The coffee holder should be centered in the portafilter and should not be crooked.
2. Clean the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism may be dirty or clogged, which can prevent it from locking properly. You can clean the locking mechanism with a soft cloth and some mild detergent.
3. Replace the locking mechanism. If the locking mechanism is damaged, you will need to replace it. You can purchase a replacement locking mechanism from the Krups website or from a authorized dealer.

If you have checked all of these things and the handle and coffee holder are still not locking in place, then you will need to call a qualified technician to diagnose the problem. Here are some additional tips to help you troubleshoot the issue:

• Make sure that the portafilter is not damaged. A damaged portafilter can prevent the coffee holder from locking properly.
• Make sure that the locking mechanism is not bent. A bent locking mechanism can prevent it from locking properly.
• If you have recently cleaned the machine, make sure that you have not used any harsh chemicals. Harsh chemicals can damage the locking mechanism.

I hope this helps!

Question edited for full 'make model (what it is)'. Question moved to maker category. this is a very simple 'drip though a filter, pour and serve' machine. You must have forgotten to put the coffee and filter in. It is easy to do and I have done it at least three times in 20 years. If you got hot water, the heater is working, if the grounds were dry, the water didn't spray over them. My sunbeam coffee maker won't let that happen. https://www.google.com/search?q=DCC-3200 ..

Check out a couple of these sites.. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=+fix+the+hopper+on+my+Braun+4045+coffee+grinder&t=ffab&atb=v159-1&ia=web&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DXgg_HqPIPzY&pn=1

You have to 'manually' prime the pump: When the red exclamation mark shows, press the water switch on the right side (the picture of the water drip), then open up the steam nozzle and let the machine pump hot water into a cup until the red light goes out.

Hello! When the ground grains and filter lights on your Saeco Odea coffee machine are flashing alternatively, it usually indicates an issue with the brewing unit or the coffee grounds. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

1. Check the coffee grounds: Open the machine's front door and remove the brew group. Check the coffee grounds container to ensure it is not full or clogged. Clean out any excess coffee grounds and ensure that the container is properly inserted.
2. Clean the brew group: Thoroughly clean the brew group and its components according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pay special attention to the coffee chute, coffee funnel, and the area where the brew group attaches to the machine. Ensure there are no coffee grounds or debris obstructing the mechanisms.
3. Check the water reservoir: Ensure that the water reservoir is filled with enough water and properly inserted into the machine. Sometimes a low water level can trigger error signals.
4. Restart the machine: After cleaning and checking all the necessary components, close the front door securely and turn the machine off and then on again. This may reset the error condition.
5. Descale the machine: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to descale the machine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for descaling your specific model of Saeco Odea.

If the problem persists after performing these steps, it may be necessary to contact Saeco customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance. They will be able to provide more specific guidance based on the model and the nature of the issue you're experiencing.

To locate the date code on your BUNN BT Velocity brewer, you can try the following:

1. Check the bottom or back of the brewer: Look for a label or sticker on the bottom or back of the machine. The date code is typically printed on this label.
2. Inspect the sides or inside the brewer: In some cases, the date code may be located on the sides or inside the brewer. You may need to remove any panels or covers to access the label or sticker.
3. Consult the user manual: If you have the user manual for your BUNN BT Velocity brewer, it may provide information on where to find the date code. Refer to the manual for specific instructions or contact BUNN customer support for assistance.

If you are still unable to locate the date code on your brewer, I recommend reaching out to BUNN customer support directly. They will be able to provide you with accurate information and guide you in finding the date code on your specific model of the BT Velocity brewer.

In reading the manual for this coffee pot, it needs to have the descaling procedure run. The manual lists running a mixture of 6 cups water and 6 cups vinegar in a normal brew cycle...twice to clean hard water deposits from the machine. It says to make sure to remove the filter basket. Once the procedure is complete, unplug the unit and replug in to remove the E2 code.

When you buy these machines, they don't tell you that they need dealer servicing every 6 to 12 months. You need a brew head service kit which involves replacing all the seals and O-rings. The heat and pressure makes the seals deteriorate and leak. Also, it is not using cleaning solution, you have pipe blockages. They are only about 1/8" internal diameter.

Time to descale it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BWumpCsZkc

I also own a Cuisinart DGB-900BC. This is how I fixed the sensor issue.Disclaimer: IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF MY INSTRUCTIONS USE A MULTIMETER OR TESTER TO ENSURE YOU AREN'T MODIFYING THE WRONG WIRES WHICH COULD RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION IF DONE IMPROPERLY.Over time the basket tends to sag, which prevents the little sensor from contacting it for the unit to realize the door is shut. The sensor is a spring loaded piece of plastic hanging from the underside of the coffee maker which makes contact with the basket when it closes. If you're looking straight on it is to the left.What you'll have to do is either find a way to fix the basket sag, force the sensor closed, or do what I did and modify the unit.Sensor modification:You will need a size 10 security bit with the hollow center (not just a plain star bit) screwdriver to take the four screws out of the bottom to reveal the wires you need to modify. There are two blue wires that go to the top of the unit which are crimped onto two black wires. The two black wires lead to the circuit board which is extremely difficult to get to on this model. All you have to do is snip those two black wires and install a push button which keeps the circuit closed until you push it. Initially I thought twisting them together would work but this unit will not brew coffee a second time unless you remove the basket and toggle the sensor input. So I basically have to unplug the unit and plug it back in to reset that. I will be adding the push button soon.Ensure you buy the right push button. You need one that keeps the circuit closed until you push it, most push buttons keep the circuit open until you press them. Alternative is to buy a metal toggle switch, preferably one that spring loads back to the center after you push it.To summarize:1) Fix basket sag or wedge sensor to closed position.OR1) Remove bottom plate of coffee maker2) Snip the blue wires leading to the sensor and add a push button or toggle switch on the two black wires they were connected to. Mount switch externally so you can push it to fool the unit to think you removed and replaced the basket.My attached picture shows my temporary twisted wire solution with yellow connector before I added the push button. Note that while I'm holding the blue ones leading to the sensor, the two small black wires are what's important. I did this modification before making an account here.
