Philips Senseo HD7810 /40 stops midway brewing

I'm having a great deal of problems with my Philips Senseo. When I don't put any coffee pads or coffee duck with coffee grounds in it, it works fine, but as soon as I add those the machine stops after pushing through a small quantity of water. It doesn't stop with the led flashing or still being on, but rather turns off, as if the power went off. I assured myself it's tank is filled with water. Anything I can do? I read somewhere it might be an internal pressure problem, so I figured I could empty it's pump according to the manual instructions, but it didn't work either. I'm not sure I can call the Philips helpline since the Senseo is not directly available in my country. It was given as a gift from a relative that's living in Germany. Thanks in advance for any help. Also I've cleaned it recently with citric acid (as the manual indicates) so this might have caused it, though I very much doubt so.

This lookes like a problem I experienced with another model of the Senseo. The problem here was the 470nF X-capacitor in the capacitive power supply. (230VAC models) Try replacing.

SOURCE: The indicator light continues to blink rapidly

you are correct in thinking the problem is caused by the valve. Use a magnet to connect to the valve from the outside of the machine, slide the magnet very slowly upwards along the water level, the rapid flashing should stop and the water should begin to heat, if not try again as you have not connected the valve to the magnet

SOURCE: Hello, Hope you guys can help me on this one: My

Either the little magnet in the reservoir is stuck (does it float when you slowly fill up the reservoir?), or the corresponding Reed relais doesn't properly respond to the magnets presence. The latter most likely requires technical attention.

The Senseo has started to produce only half cups of coffee - using the same pads, and nothing appears wrong with the machine.

Try to clean the very small filter you have in the center of the pad holder.

Machine doesn't deliver a whole cup

Try soaking the pad holders in hot water for a while; they may have some residual calcium buildup. Also rinsing the Senseo with citric acid (see manual) could work for you!

Senseo HD-7810 Coffee Maker: how many uses can i get out of one coffee pad?...

Hi. They are only made for one shot, because the coffee will get weaker and weaker the more you use it. Also, it can compact and not let anything through.

The official stance from Philips on their website is this:

"We do not recommend this. The second cup of coffee will be rather weak. Also make sure the lid is closed properly, and do not press the 2-cup button if you want to brew only one cup."

My philips senseo new generation won't open I suspect a vacuum-problem but don't know how to solve this can you advise me?

Eureka! I have solved this problem.
Disconnect your Senseo from the power. Take it to the sink. Hold it upside down and put hot water in the coffee outled. In less than 30 seconds the senseo will open.

The problem with Senseo is that - especially with coffee holders for 2 cups and chocolate - after making the coffee, the pod holder and the pod cool down. This creates an underpressure, that prevents you opening the Senseo. Hot water will increase the pressure and then you can open the senseo very soon.

This solution was found in despair after struggling with all the complex tool involving (knives, pumps, etc.)

Let me know if it works for you

Descaling

Just use vinegar. Fill the reservoir with white vinegar, put a pot or big bowl under the spout, get ready as if you were going to brew and then press BOTH the one cup and two cup buttons together.

Run the vinegar through again when it's done, and then run clean (filtered, preferably) water through twice. You're done.

Decreased output from Senseo

I'm thinking it needs to be "Descaled" Heres info from Senseo.com:

Does my Senseo® appliance need to be descaled? Yes. Descaling is an important element in Senseo maintenance. It should be done at least once every three months, up to six times a year!

Keeping your Senseo free of scale will:

Ensure you have maximum cup volume
Ensure you have maximum coffee temperature
Make your Senseo produce less sound while brewing
Prevent your Senseo from malfunctioning
Prolong your Senseo's life.

The descaling process takes about one hour and should not be interrupted. Only a descaling agent based on citric acid can be used safely in the Senseo. Other agents, including vinegar, may damage your appliance or not remove the scale entirely. If the procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue may remain in the machine. This causes scale to build up more quickly and may cause permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.

For the right procedure to descale your type of Senseo, see attached document.
