Delonghi Magnifica 3300. When machine turns on and/or when trying to make coffee it pumps few secs of water and stops with water led blinking red. Thanks for any ideas to diagnose the issue.
Also noticing the preinfusion cycle is not performed. The machine starts brewing without making the perfusion cycle and then stops short with water led blinking
Testimonial: "Thank you for your quick response. I've followed the troubleshooting instructions on page 19 without success. It prompts my attention that the perfusion step is not done. The machine is not doing any weird noises, it only stops pumping water"

grinder is very fine, turn the knob inside the coffee to a large chislo.Ako not fix it, there are probably some trash between the blades of the grinder.
It might be a normal cleaning cycle or flushing itself out. You don't mention whether it's not working anymore, so is it just that the sounds and lights seem concerning, or has it actually stopped working?
Hi JB, not sure if you've junked your 3300 machine by now or had the problem fixed already. Nevertheless, allow me to share with owners of DeLonghi Magnifica Espresso machines who encounter similar problem to yours. Incidentally, mine is a Delonghi Magnifica 3200 which is very much the same as the 3300. Firstly, try to ascertain if the pump is working normally. When the machine is ready to brew coffee, turn ON the steam/hot water knob and see if it pumps normally and for more than 30secs at least. My machine could pump for short durations between 5secs to 20secs max before the water light came on. I checked the flow meter connection but is all seemed well. I noticed signs of water leak (dried up chalky water stains) where the steam wand exits the control panel. Upon opening up the control panel, I noticed a larger patch of dried up water stains on the wand valve assembly. Bought a set of steam wand assembly replacement and to replace the leaking one. It's been some six month now and I'm enjoying my daily cuppa again. Btw, my Delonghi Magnifica 3200 has been serving me well for 10 years! Apart from the steam wand replacement and a faulty micro-switch, I only had to carry out the usual descaling and replacing worn out O-rings.
Read instruction manual first before assuming there is problem. It happen we are not familiar to the operation of the machine the troubles becomes- "operators errors rather than machine errors". If you already read operating manual and still not yet understand. Call their service hotline, ask something about your problem. It easy as that! I hope my advice help you.
fill water right to line ... turn unit on ....when its ready to use push and hold the descale button for approx 5 secs the lights wer cups are should stay on.... now place descaler in water ......put a larg container under steam pipe..... turn vaule open fully... it will run for approx 10 secs then stop for at least 15 min...until water runs out ... when light for water comes on fill tank up again with clean water place back into machine and it will flush through until empty .... when light for water comes on again ..job done ..turn vaulve to shut. ///
