DeLonghi ETAM Series: ECAM 23.210.b initialisation fails when unit press brew piston switch

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 08:17:35 -0700

@vauweh I have also an other coffeemaker who gives me headaches...

It’s an ECAM 23.210.b. This one turn on, but at the initialisation when the unit touch the top limit switch from the brew piston something strange happens.

On the screen leds shows this sequence :

Warning led comes on
Warning led goes off
ESC + OK leds comes on
ESC + OK leds goes off
Temperature led comes on
Temperature led goes off
Warning lights up and stays on

I have changed a lot of parts because the previous owner tried to fix it and did some damage… So, the brew piston and the unit are brand new. The transmission motor is changed by a second-hand one. The previous owner give me 2 power boards and 2 water pumps with the coffeemaker.

After changing the parts listed above, the coffeemaker at the initialisation worked normally. However, when I pressed « 1 cup » the grinder came on 1 sec and I got the error as there was no grounds in unit.

I think the previous owner did damage on the two power boards. Because one of the two board has broken connectors. What do you think ?

DeLonghi ETAM Series: All lights flashing at the same time

Wed, 01 Jan 2025 01:50:28 -0700

Hello everyone am new here, this is my first post. Hope I can find answers

I got a Delonghi magnifica evo ecam290 from the office that is not working at all and don't have much information about it's history it was just infested with cockroach and had to dismantle it completely but before that I tried it, when I turn it on all the lights are flashing at the same time and nothing happening when I press the buttons, what's even more weird is that this fault is not documented at all everywhere.

When opening it I noticed the cam slider was broken and replaced it, the brewin piston had a broken connection also and replaced it as well, after reassembly the same fault is still there.

Any idea what could be the reason ?

Appreciate any help you could provide

DeLonghi ETAM Series: ECAM 22.110 with barely any water coming through

Wed, 02 Oct 2024 08:10:41 -0700

When turning the machine on, it will run for VERY long, but the rinse is pretty slow, basically just drop by drop. When "brewing coffee", it will grind and sound normal, but barely any drops comes out of the nozzles (and they are clear). When turning on the steam wand for hot water, VERY few drops comes out. Same when I try to steam (sounds normal).
I assume it's a water issue.

When disconnecting the skinny white hose AFTER the pump and turning it on, water spews out just fine. Flowmeter seems fine. No bubbles in the water tank either.

I took out the two very skinny and white tubes (1 running from the heater and 1 further up) and cleaned them. Neither clogged nor dirty. When I turn on the steamer wand, the skinny hose from the heater will have some water running through it, but there seems to be air in it as well. I don't know if that's an issue? (Air would be needed to steam, so maybe not?)

The hose coming out from the side of the pressure relief valve in front of the heater and connecting to the expansion chamber is dry. I see absolutely no water in it, when I try to do a rinse, nor when I try to brew coffe, nor try to steam/run hot water. (When I disconnect the valve from the heater, a bit of water comes out of the heater, so THAT doesn't seem totally dry and not scaley either.)
I took apart the pressure relief valve, but I have no idea how it is supposed to look or work...

So, how can I tell if the PRV is the issue? Could it be the expansion chamber not drawing water in? Or is it supposed to shoot out from the PRV? How can I tell if the PRV is defective?

Thanks in advance!

Delonghi ECAM 23.120: The screen does not turn on.

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 10:31:09 -0700

We recently purchased a second-hand appliance that, unfortunately, was in poor condition. It was heavily soiled, with dried coffee residues inside, and we even discovered cockroaches within the unit. Despite this, the machine was still functioning initially.

To restore it properly, I carefully disassembled all components and cleaned them thoroughly. After reassembling the machine, however, it no longer powers on and the display screen remains off.

We would appreciate professional assistance in diagnosing and repairing the issue.

Delonghi ECAM 23.120: Milk container (black) frothing issue

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 23:35:13 -0700

Greetings

I have a Delonghi eletta explore coffee maker with beans grinder. It’s about 3-4 months old. I’ve been using it mostly for cappuccino until the taste became bitter/watery and was unable to fix that. Then switched to flat white which has been fine until today. The black lid milk frothing container started acting up as at first for a second or two the milk pours from the spout as usual but then it becomes intense steam and no milk is coming out anymore. I tried cleaning all the attachments and the very inside of the black top of the container but nothing changed. Presumably I can replace the container itself but this is very odd and it shouldn’t be the case.

I have descaled very recently and I’ve been washing the container parts regularly when prompted by the coffee machine. Any advise of what the problem is, is there a fix for it with the current jug and how to avoid it in the future is very welcomed!

DeLonghi ETAM Series: Water leak - 50% goes into waste

Thu, 13 Feb 2025 22:37:02 -0700

DELONGHI ECAM22110SB Magnifica, about 8 years old and used almost daily, at home.
For 4 to 6 weeks it has leaked some water, not just into the red receptacle. Lately, the black container where coffee pellets are collected has had water, which last 2.5 days has been increasing to be half the volume of a single cup coffee (RHS, single cup button) .

Regular interior clean with solution etc, but for about a year I haven't cleaned the grinding mechanism, RHS behind the water tank, but I have not got further inside to check where the leak is occurring.
Any ideas, diagrams? I would like to fix it rather than replace a good machine

DeLonghi ETAM Series: Leakage steamheater connector will o-ring replacement help?

Wed, 01 Jan 2025 04:20:38 -0700

I have a leakage on both sides of this connector. Will this be solved when I replace only this connector? Or should I also replace the inner o-ring in the connector? I don’t see why it is leaking. The hose that goes into it and the o ring don’t seem to be damaged.

DeLonghi ETAM Series: Is there any assembly tutorial or manual for the magnifica evo?

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 21:59:09 -0700

I had a cockroach infestation and needed to dismantle the appliance completely I literally left no screw in it. But now I'm finding it challenging to piece it back together without guidance. Is there like a detailed step by step manual of the whole (dis)assembly process ?

DeLonghi ETAM Series: Why is the grinder not stopping?

Tue, 24 Aug 2021 15:44:43 -0700

Hi, I have the Magnifica ESAM 3300 working well until yesterday. The grinder doesn’t stop now and “spits” the coffee directly in the collection box for the used pucks. I can make a coffee if I use the pre-ground coffee. Please help.
