Nespresso Essenza D100 Espresso Machine Questions & Answers
The pods are not being
The capsules are not pierced when they are inserted. They are pierced on the back but not in the foil. The foil is pierced when the hot water is injected through the posterior holes and the pressure causes the foil to bulge, thus getting pierced by the grid in the front of the machine. If the capsules are not getting pierced it means that the water is not being injected with enough pressure. This could be due to hard water deposits. Try first to pump the machine by turning it on and then lifting the lever and keeping it raised for a few seconds. If that doesn't work, de-scaling the machine should correct the problem.

Nespresso Essenza D100 leaking water while brewing
Sounds like a gasket or seal gone or a split pipe.
If it's still under warranty - take it back for free service or replacement.
If you do have to attempt DIY, then a clear silicone sealant may save you the price of expensive gaskets.
Be very careful when taking apart - take notes or photos as it will help put it back together !
I usually put related sub-assemblies together with their screws in separate pots.

Nespresso D150 coffee makes leaking water tank
If your Nespresso D150 coffee maker is leaking water from the bottom as soon as you attach the water tank, there might be a few possible causes for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and address the problem:
1. **Check O-Ring Seal:** Even if the O-ring inside the water tank appears fine, it's worth inspecting it closely for any signs of wear, damage, or misalignment. If the O-ring is not creating a proper seal, it can lead to leaks.
2. **Clean and Lubricate O-Ring:** Sometimes, debris or residue can accumulate on the O-ring, preventing it from forming a tight seal. Clean the O-ring and the area where it sits in the water tank thoroughly. Applying a small amount of food-grade lubricant can help ensure a proper seal.
3. **Check for Cracks:** Examine the water tank for any cracks or damage that could be causing water to leak out. Even a small crack can lead to significant leakage.
4. **Check Water Tank Connections:** Ensure that the water tank is properly aligned and securely attached to the machine. If it's not properly seated, it can cause leaks.
5. **Inspect Machine Gaskets:** There might be gaskets or seals on the machine itself that interact with the water tank. Inspect these gaskets for wear, damage, or misalignment.
6. **Water Level Sensor:** Some coffee makers have a water level sensor that detects the water level in the tank. If the sensor is damaged or not functioning correctly, it might cause leakage. Contact Nespresso or a professional technician for assistance with sensor-related issues.
7. **Pressure Relief Valve:** Coffee makers often have pressure relief valves to regulate pressure within the system. If this valve is not functioning properly, it can cause leaks. This might require professional assessment and repair.
8. **Contact Customer Support:** If the issue persists despite troubleshooting, consider reaching out to Nespresso's customer support or a professional technician who specializes in coffee maker repairs. They can provide more specific guidance based on your machine's model and issue.
Remember that working with electrical appliances and water can be potentially hazardous. If you're unsure about any aspect of troubleshooting or repair, it's best to seek professional assistance to avoid causing further damage or compromising safety.

It is possible that your Nespresso machine is experiencing a malfunction and may need to be serviced. The leak and hissing sound could be signs of a clogged brewing head, a damaged water tank or pump, or a malfunctioning valve. To prevent further damage, it is best to stop using the machine and contact Nespresso customer service for assistance. They can guide you through the troubleshooting process and provide you with options for repair or replacement if necessary.
My nespresso stops half way though making a cup of coffee and have to press the button again repeatly to start it again
Has anyone operated your machine that was unfamiliar with the correct method. It sound as though the quantity has been reset. Try holding both buttons down while turning the machine on - hold till buttons stop flashing. This will reset to factory settings. Then, you can programme each button by holding it down whilst extracting, then releasing when the correct amount is extracted. It will remember this until you return the machine to its factory settings as above.
Hope this helps!
