‏Because a non logical reason the error “BREWUNIT BLOCKED” appears also when the cup heating circuit is open... after heater or fuses fails.., ?Gaggia should have informed in the net about this error message as an anomaly .
‏?So, before you change your Brew Unit or you CPU..,, just check continuity between the two yellow wires... and bingo!

Were you able to fix this? I'm having the same problem.

The sensor is likely defective or needs to be cleaned of mineral buildup.

Hi,

Take off the top and check the fuse, if you have the old version off your machine you will find the fuse on a wire, if you have a new version then you have to reset the thermostat on the boiler (two pcs).

Hope this will help you.

After weeks of trial and error, I have found the solution, to prime the Starbucks Sirena Saeco Espresso Machine (woohoo!!!!!!!!!! ). You do not need to disassemble this machine, it will not heat unless it is prim WARNING: machine must be STONE COLD before attempting this! 1. Get a large syringe (Without a needle of course, I used a 60ml one I bought at a pharmacy for $3.) 2. Fill the water tank full 3. Pull off chrome tip on the steam wand to expose the black plastic jet where steam comes out. 4. Place the tip of the syringe onto the tip of the black plastic steam jet on the machine. 5. Push the power button ON. 6. Turn the steam knob clockwise all the way until the pump starts. 7. Press the syringe onto the jet firmly to seal the connection, and simultaneously draw the plunger out. 8. Quickly, release the seal and eject the air in the syringe out (into open air not into the machine) 9. Repeat steps 7&8 until water draws into the syringe. 10. Go make yourself a cup of coffee and celebrate that you overcame the flaw in this machines design that renders most of them to the rubbish heap.

Hi,
You have to prime the machine.
If that doesn't work for you, you have a problem with the flow meter.

Sassy-Pants-
I have some experience with Saecos. I have had your problem many times.

To start with, Saecos (5Ps, 7Ps, and 8Ps) error out if they don't get a signal from the dosser that it is full within 14 seconds of beginning to grind. If I were troubleshooting your machine, I would look at these 2 things first, before all else:
1. Is the grinder running at the proper speed? If you don't hear any difference, it's probably OK. But if the machine has a lot of coffees on it (say more than 20,000) you might take a look at the burr rings to see if they are worn or caked with coffee oils. They should feel pretty sharp (not nearly enough to cut you, but well defined) to the touch as you run your finger around the ring. And the color should be uniform- brass colored- if the rings are still useable. Also, the brushes could be shot if the machine has say 50,000 coffees on it. As far as I know, the only solution to worn brushes is to replace the grinder. The good news is that the new grinder will come with new burr rings.

2. The dosser. More than likely the solution is that the dosser needs to be cleaned, especially if you are using a dark roast coffee. Take it off and clean it carefully with a degreaser (Greased Lightening). Keep at it until all of the coffee dust and oils are gone. Be very careful not to crinkle the metal foil or to immerse the switch or solenoid. Also, are either of the 2 return springs broken? Replace if necessary. Finally, the dosser switch may be either dirty, out of adjustment, or deffective. You should be able to press very gently with your finger on the foil, pressing it against the dosser switch arm. There should be an audible "click" on AND off as you press and release with your finger.
I would like to hear from you if you find this helpful.

You will need to reset the counter. Reset the counters by selecting the cappuchino selection key. Click on the link below to download the Saeco Royal Professional owners manual.

"COUNTER"

After a certain number of cycles, this function

allows to stop the coffee dispensing (excluding

hot water, steam and cappuccino dispensing

operations). It can also be used, for example, to

program the machine servicing.

If the 0 value is set, the function is disabled.

From the VENDING menu, move the asterisk to

the COUNTER menu by means of

keys and confirm the selection through

ENT.

Press the same keys to modify the selected value
(for example to set a new servicing limit). Through

ENT a new value can be saved. On the

contrary, by pressing ESC the new value entering

is stopped and, as a result, the former counter

setting shall be considered.

When the set limit has been reached, the coffee

dispensing stops and the following two messages

are displayed:

"COFFEE DISPENS. "

"BLOCKED "

"SELECT PRODUCT "

"READY FOR USE "

Reset the counters by pressing the cappuccino
selection key .
