sensor is broken or damaged. look for it, or ask a professional repair office.

I have not done it, but I believe you simply remove the two screws you can seen when you look into the coffee bin. I used to get "fill beans" messages when there were beans in the hopper. Eventually I determined this was due to my choice of beans: oily (ie. shiny) beans seem to clog up frequently, "dry" beans (beams without a sheen) rarely clog up. Since the beans are gravity fed, oily ones tend to stick to one another

foreign element perhaps the grinder is bad though. First try using a small vacuum that will allow adequate control of vacumming up the bean container. remove all the beans etc. the bean container must be emptied. then look at what the vacuum removed, any foreign objects? if you see 1 or more it's likely fixed. otherwise remove any inside cover/guides in the bean container you should now look directly at the grinder wheels with flashlight, as there may instead be a foreign substance or a defect preventing the grinder from processing the beans. if a defect then it may require factory service. gl

first check the grounds tray as it must go in with the side-tabs (small ridge on each side) in the rear, otherwise it will not seat properly. If that doesn't work give me a shout. gl.

To replace this part you will have to open the jura machine. I found this information out because I had the dreaded error 8 reading on my jura machine which stopped it from making coffee. To disassemble the jura coffee machine you'll need some special tools that I will talk about as I describe how to get to the sensor, make sure you get those tools or something similar. The problem that you are having is the boiler is not heating properly (heating the water properly), so the taste of espresso will not be good. You need a high heating temperature to get good tasting espresso. This generally happens because the thermo sensor went bad and the electronic board is not sensing the proper heat because the thermo sensor went out. 1. Remove the drip tray 2. Remove the water tank 3. Remove the coffee cover and bean hopper cover (aroma cover) 4. Remove the cover for the pre-ground coffee shut 5. Now you will need to remove the cup warning plate that is stainless steel, it is fastened with 2 security screws. You'll need a Newelectronx t15 torx security screwdriver to take them out. 6. Now remove the top plate, there will be 5 screws fastening it down. Again use the Newelectronx t15 torx screwdriver to take them out. Pull it up to release. 7. On the rear end of the machine, you'll need to remove some weird oval head screws. The only place I could find the tool for this oval head screw was in the Newelectronx Coffee Tool Kit Set. Get the oval tool, which is different from the Newelectronx t15 torx bit and remove the next few screws. There are 2 screws - oval head, on the lower backside. Take off the rear back panel. On the left you'll find the mechanical parts. 8. On the boiler, which is the big metal part that is formed like an upside down tear drop. The thermo sensor is attached to the boiler with a screw - again use the Newelectronx security screwdriver to remove the security screw. 9. The thermo sensor connects to the electronic board. Detach the wire from the electronic board. Now the thermo sensor is off. 10. Replace the thermo sensor with a new jura thermo sensor that has the same wire colors. If the wire color is wrong the contact thermo sensor might not perform as it should. 11. Now put the machine back together. Good luck

I would say that something has a hole in it, but if it doesn't it might have bad quality, and if it isn't that because the place where you bought it from sells good machines, then it still might have something that went wrong or something was misplaced. I'm not sure either, but that's what i think is the most likely reason. You could always try ask the place manager and ask him if there is anything wrong with your machine. Hope it ind of helped!

You really don't give which machine - but here is link to company product support. Maybe they will have product manual to help trouble shoot issue. Sorry could not of been more help Product Support

Either the funnel flap is damaged, or the microswitch that the funnel works with.

Hi Shoba Photo sensor or switch is blocked. Not sure if yours is an Infra Red beam or switch Clean & inspect with flashlight Look for light path (blocked) or moveable part (switch) Actually.... it must use an Infrared Light Emmiter to shine through the grounds holder to the sensor on the other side/ 10 Minute Fix.... I hope

Good evening I would look in the troubleshooting pages in the manual. here you can take a look, Kolbrun Free User Manuals and Owners Guides ManualsOnline com

Most likely it is a sensor error. you can try to clean the inner parts by removing the tray and carefully with a moist towel wipe the parts gently. If you have a mirror on a stick that's helpful. You may have no other visible choice than to contact Jura Capresso and pay for servicing the unit if memory serves it ran about $250. M

Difficult to say without the machine in front of me. Normally you get this response if no beans fall into the grinder. Are your beans oily, sticking together and not falling in? Normally freshly roasted beans esp dark roasts are a bit oily. If so then you can change roasts, brands or mix with another type. You might try to adjust your grind per the manual. (turn knob inside the bin while the grinder is grinding) see #8 page 12. If the beans are falling in and grinding and you still get this msg I would say you have a grinder problem. http://capresso.125west.com/e8_manual.pdf

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.

I have a Bodum grinder and the screw was under one of the rubber feet. Not sure if your brand does too.

I've done a couple of these and it can be tricky to get the lower piston the correct height when reassembling it. Did you make sure that the entire brew group would fully cycle (the white gear travels from to to bottom) without binding before reinstalling it? It seems to me that the piston has to mesh with the gears in JUST the right configuration so that it will come to the top of its travel without biding on the housing or being to low in the chamber when it goes through the ejection phase (dumping the grounds). I don't have a fool proof method to do this other than trial and error. I'd go back and take apart the group again and make sure the lower piston is aligned correctly and that it doesn't bind when you screw the gear all the way up and down. Good luck!!!

Juani, can you use ground coffee in your machine. Then go and find the grinder and put some coffee beans in and grind them. while enjoying your coffee read the user manual for the coffee machine and find out what the trouble is.

Your missing screen is probably the cause of your error. Here is a reference: http://juracapressoparts.com/JuraBrewingUnit.html They may be able to assist you with your repair.

Sounds like a blockage somewhere, and the build up of pressure is blowing the pipe.
