Top 20 Braun Tassimo Espresso Machine/Coffee Maker Questions & Answers

A clog in the machine?

Hi,my friend had one of these and they sied that if the coffee pots are not inserted or they are the wrong ones his lid didnt close iver,hope this was some help.

The float that detects the water level might need freeing up. Or, assuming detachable water container, ensure that it is seated fully. Lift it up a bit and guide it down firmly. If it's not that, try unplugging the machine for about 5 mins. and see if it resets to normal operation.

The water tank at the rear must make a proper seal. Make sure it is clean and lubricate with Vaseline. The cup tray also catches drips so remove it and empty any water into the sink.

https://www.tassimo.ca/en/customer-care/#product-manuals-and-guides at the above link you will find tassimo manuals and yes you do need the yellow disc as it has the right bar codes for the descale cycle. If the manual for the model you have is not available, just read one of the manuals descale sections to refresh your memory, I know I forget how in between descaling sessions

the unit needs to be descaled. order the clean tablets from Tassimo and follow the steps as printed in your owners manual as an alternative you can use any good quality espresso cleaner but DO NOT USE VINEGAR as this could damage the boiler...

I found that my local appliance parts place (Reliable Parts) had them for about $7 each which was quite a bit less than ebay sellers and direct from Tassimo. (Make sure yours is not hiding in its slot on the back of the machine.)_

unplug unit and throughly clean unit, especially the bar code reader window. Take apart the piercing nipple assembly and make sure it is not clogged either. Use the cleaning disk and descale the unit quarterly as this prevents build ups in the brewing system

Change the element or buy new one .

You have a bad Air Valve Solenoid in the air supply line. It will need replaced.

prepare machine for use first. half-fill water tank, switch on unit and insert yellow TDisk (service disc) barcode down. Close the locking unit securely loud click, press green light repeat these steps 3 times. After that you will have the stand by orange/amber. Remove the Service Disc and store in the recess behind the water tank, Insert a Coffee Disc, close the brewing unit with click and green light should be on. press and it should work.If not go to shop where pruchased.

Inside the water tank npat the bottom look for anything switch like that may have got stuck in the upward postion and try to move it down. This what senses the water level so if you can wedge it down it will work? Hope this helps.

The floating indicator disc may be stuck down. Use a fork to work it back up.

Hi, Red light means something needs attention. Descale solution is very corrosive and may have caused damage. I cant think of anything that would do this. Try switching it off and unplugging it for a few minutes. Hopefully resetting it will fix your problem. Dazza REPAIRER

The water tank is probably not seated correctly.It can look as though it is, but you have to make sure the forward edge of it has been tilted so that the angled indentation in the plastic exactly mates with the machine.If it doesn't, water is not drawn from the tank, the pump makes a noise, and steam comes from the pod area.
