DeLonghi Magnifica - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

We had excactly the same problem a couple of times recently with a lot of troubleshooting,like adjsusting grinder, reseting the to factory settings, and many more and we end up that it was a problem with pcb control board which lost the preset timing of grinding thus the coffee grinding where about 3-4 sec and the correct one shold be about 8-9 sec. We have here one side which have the control board for your reference.

I had this problem. The door didn't snap when I shut it and it would pop open and stop the brewing. It was an easy 5 minute fix. I removed the drip tray and the black plastic bin where the spent coffee grounds are expelled. With a flashlight I could clearly see 1/4" to 1/2" caked coffee grinds lining the back of the cabinet at its base. This residue kept the bin from seating correctly. Because the bin wasn't all the way back into the cabinet it put pressure on the door and kept it from latching. I cleaned out the buildup with a small spatula and a brush and the door latched perfectly again.

I have the same problem with my Delonghi Magnifica, so maybe there is a glitch in the machine..

Question moved from 'Advance Computers' to correct category. This particular machine is mentioned on Fixya 3 or 4 times a week, in fact I answered one yesterday. They have a history of problems. Your issue is likely the control board and would need dealer servicing. Having said that, this page lists most part as 'Obsolete - Discontinued'. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/delonghi-esam3300-magnifica-parts-c-122345_122351_122764.html https://www.google.com/search?q=delonghi+magnifica+parts+diagram ..

If that light flashes, it means that the service door of your coffee machine is open. If you can't close the service door then probably the infuser is not pushed in far enough. Hope this helps.

Hi,I had the same problem with my Siemens EQ.300. The problem was residues that are sticked to brewing unit. Here is the solution for my Siemens EQ.300Take a plastic brush and clean all part of the brewing unit, deeply, under tap water for 5 minutes. Dry gently, and re-inserted to the Siemens EQ.300 machine.Update: After a while, same problem happened again. This time, I have washed my coffee machine's brewing unit in the dishwasher. Result is perfect!https://www.izreview.com/siemens-eq-3-espresso-coffee-machine-review/#Siemens_EQ300_dispensing_coffee_into_the_drip_tray

Machine thinks there are no beans because it is not grinding. Most likely the grinder is blocked. The common causes are a small foreign object, a stale hard bean and moisture (either from water spillage or moist beans). The first thing you should do is vacuum ALL the beans out, set it to the coarsest grind setting and run the grinder a few times ( with no beans). Then put a small amount of fresh beans (make sure they are dry and not from fridge or freezer) in and try again. Give it a few goes. If it still wont grind have a good look down there, if it looks wet let it dry out for a while and try again. If none of thes easy tips help you will have to remove the top grinder burr and clean both burrs. Good luck.

I have the same problem as this after cleaning. The machine won't power on. It does a power on self test and then the grounds tray full or missing light comes on and nothing else can be done. A friend of mine with a similar machine says hers fixed itself after a while so assume some sensor got jammed/obscured with my over zealous cleaning. However I'm not hopeful. Might try taking it apart.

Likely a foreign object is blocking up the grinder. Remove all beans and run at coarsest grind to try to clear it, chase it through with more beans if necessary. If this does not clear it then the top burr of the grinder assembly can be removed after disassembling the machine. Mark the grinder coarseness cogs before moving them to assist reassembly. Moderately difficult procedure.

Good morning Tony since your machine seems to be a relation of mine, I will do what can to assist you. I will put a photo of mine in for comparison I am sorry about how dark my black coffee machine is, you can see that they are related. What I can suggest here and now is that you remove the infuser once again and put it back carefully in its place, I would give that a try, and have done enjoy your coffee kolbrun

These machines are so complicated they have to serviced by authorized service centres at least once a year. Heat, pressure and plastic parts fail, plus neoprene O-Rings lose their lubrication properties and go hard. Yours needs dealer service.

You are not completing the descale program. See below.10.3 DESCALINGDue to the continuous heating of the water used to make the coffee, overtime it is normal for the tubing inside the machine to fill with lime scale.When the light starts flashing( chap. 12-point 5), it is time to descalethe machine.NOTE: when the light switches on, the coffee maker can still be used toprepare coffee.Proceed as follows:• Empty the tank and pour in the contents of one bottle (125 ml) ofDURGOL descaler plus one liter of water. For subsequent descalingoperations, descaling solution can be purchased from authorisedtechnical service centres.NB: Make sure splashes of descaler do not fall onto surfaces sensitiveto acid such as marble, limestone and glaze.• place a container with a minimum capacity of 1.5 litres underthe milk frother (Fig. 3);• turn the machine on by pressing the button (Fig. 4).• wait for the green and indicator lights to come on steady.• press and hold the button for at least 5 seconds (Fig.14). Thelight inside the button switches on (chap. 11 - point 8) to indicatethe start of the descaling program (the and lights remainoff to indicate that it is not possible to make coffee).• turn the steam knob half a turn anticlockwise (Fig.5). Thedescaling solution will come out of the milk frother and start tofill the container underneath.• the descaling program automatically performs a series of deliveriesand pauses, so as to remove the lime scale deposits frominside the coffee maker.Fig.32The two red buttonshave openedout CORRECTLYThe two red buttonshave notopened outCORRECT INCORRECT33OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS• after around 30 minutes, when the light comes on (chap. 12 - GBpoint 1), turn the steam knob half a turn clockwise (Fig.6) until itstops.The machine must be rinsed so as to eliminate the residues of descalingsolution from inside the machine. Proceed as follows:• remove the water tank, rinse it and fill it with clean water.• reposition the tank.• empty the collection container (located under the milk frother) that isfull of liquid, and then replace it under the milk frother.• turn the steam knob half a turn anticlockwise (Fig. 5). Hot water willcome out of the milk frother and fill the container underneath.• when the tank is empty, the light goes off and the lightcomes on (chap. 12 - point 1).• turn the steam knob all the way clockwise (Fig. 6) and fill the watertank with clean water again.• the program of descaling is hour terminated and the machine isready per do again the coffee.NOTE: if the descaling procedure is stopped before completion, thealarm (chap. 12 - point 5) is not deactivated and the proceduremust be started again form the beginning.IMPORTANT: THE GUARANTEE IS NOT VALID IF THE ABOVE DESCALING OPERATIONIS NOT PERFORMED REGULARLY.

perhaps a bad sensor
