There are many screws you would need to access... However in 6 years of working on these I have never seen a power switch fail.. In most cases it is a bigger problem with teh main board and that usually means there has been a leak or some other major fault. If your in Brisbane a simple fix for you - I can check out / repair. If not try Crema Coffee Forum Index

Hi there,
Just opened up my coffee machine this afternoon. Everything works fine but until you go to use the steam want it doesn’t want to work... it starts to make a stumping sounds and continuously makes that noise. Does anyone know how I can fix this so I can make myself a coffee ??

I was looking for a Service manual, but can only find the owners manual. https://www.manualslib.com/products/Sunbeam-Barista-Max-Em5300-10377153.html Steam wands are nearly always blocked with cooked and congealed milk. I have spent an entire career in catering and the last 10 years working with 6 coffee machines that dispense over a thousand cups a day in Airport Business Class Lounges. They need cleaning 3 times a day in those circumstances and we use an enzyme milk system cleaner. The wands are usually fairly easy to remove and you can get tube brushes or the type they now sell for cleaning stainless steel straws. The leak will certainly be from the brew head. They have multiple O-ring seals that need changing every 4 to 6 months in a commercial setting. All of the machines have access. Remove back and sides. Look for screws on the side that hold the top. Everything is fitted into a frame. There is some help in the manual, but not enough. https://www.manualslib.com/products/Sunbeam-Barista-Max-Em5300-10377153.html ..

Thermal block element or Temp Sensor is not working correctly

It would be a good idea to change it every year. Look for the instructions that came with it, and see what is recommended.

Oddly, I am unable to find information on this model as a Sunbeam product. Rather, an instruction book for an Oster model of that number appears in searches. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/116401/Oster-6389-33.html The Sunbeam site does offer instructions for its coffee makers but does not designate such for this specific model. https://www.sunbeam.com/service-and-support/product-support/product-faqs/kitchen-appliances/coffee-makers/kitchen-appliances-coffee-makers-faq.html Here is a manual for a conical burr Sunbeam: https://www.sunbeam.com.au/Root/Specifications/InstructionBooklet/EM0480_ib_1.pdf You might try Sunbeam's customer support. The general information about cleaning coffee makers seems to contrast with the general advice on the Sunbeam page. Sunbeam seems to use vinegar. You would think there would be no controversy about this topic. Not so. Some suggest using rice; others say this may damage blades as rice is harder than cleaning pellets. Some say use bread; others say this will gum up the works. It is likely you should use the instructions that came with the manual for the product. Since you apparently lack the manual, you might contact Sunbeam customer support; the Sunbeam page does not list manuals for its coffee makers. And I cannot find even a picture of this specific model number on the web. Good luck.

Most probably find a Sunbeam manual here. Just send them a search request.

Is it actually getting warm/hot? The thermal fuses on the Cafe Series often blow after a few years, so the machine doesn't go into ready state. It's a replaceable part bolted to the steam thermoblock. Costs about $9.

I have had a similar problem - in which the steam wand would produce about 20% of its normal output (low pressure and low heat). Initially I thought it was the steam pump - and replaced this myself (easy access to pumps by removing the bottom/underside plate) - however this did not fix the issue. As per Stewart's reply above - it was a result of mineral deposits in the steam-pipes partially blocking flow. I was able to clear by running a descaling cycle using the Sunbeam descaling tablets. Works like new now!

the coffe maker might be clogged up so here' what to do: Look through the clear plastic panel on the side of the coffee maker's water tank to make sure that it has water in it.

Clean your Sunbeam coffee maker, You can wash the removable filter basket and carafe in hot, soapy water and pour 4 cups of white vinegar into the water reservoir of your coffee maker. Start the brewing cycle with no coffee grounds to allow the vinegar to clean the inside of the coffee maker. Rinse away the vinegar by running the brewing cycle twice with only clean, fresh water.

8 Check the removable filter basket to see if the filter has collapsed if you find coffee grounds in your brewed coffee. If the paper filters collapse often you can wet them before you place them inside the filter basket so that they will stick to the basket and stay in place. or check this link because it might need a new hose.
