Nespresso CitiZ: Nespresso Citiz coffee machine - pump not activating

Sat, 07 Feb 2026 11:44:28 -0700

Hi,

I have a Nespresso Citiz coffee machine. It was working properly and in daily use. However, earlier this week it was descaled but during the descale process it completed the two descale stages but then it refused to do the rinse stages.

The machine has since been unplugged and the factory reset process applied.

Now when I try to use it:
I plug the machine in.
Press a button to activate it, both lights flash to show it is warming up.
After a short wait, both lights remain on to show the machine has warmed up.
A button (lungo or espresso) is pressed, it flashes and the other button light remains lit (I remember this being the pressed light remaining on and the other light goes off when it was working properly).
After a short while, the blinking light goes solid again and both lights remain lit.

There is no sound of the pump working. All the above happens in silence.

Any help very greatly appreciated.

Nespresso: Why is my nespresso espresso watery?

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 18:49:19 -0700

I have a DeLonghi Type EN 125S Ser No 81626 S300075 Nespresso machine. the espesso comes out watery, little crema. my wife has run descaler, and cleaned it up. i read that it may be the gasket. I can't find if there should be a gasket that sits on top of the espresso pod when the chamber is closed (handle closed with pod in side). I read that there is another gasket, and youtube findings, that sits below the plastic pod holder that seals the high pressure water when the handle is closed and the spring compressed so this seal is a high/low pressure boundary. I bought a gasket, but it seems to big, not the 31.5 mm ID that it seems the other one are. (1) should there be a gasket that sits on top of the capsule (2) if so, where can I order replacement (3) provide help on the "other" gasket under the pod plastic chamber, if that could be the problem, and where to buy. Thanks for the help!

Nespresso CitiZ: Nespresso CitiZ coffee machine, some water is leaking into collection

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 12:55:21 -0700

I have a Nespresso CitiZ coffee machine and some water is leaking into the collection tray without passing through the coffee pod. I assume that an internal seal has worn out. How easy is to renew the seal and from where can it be sourced?

Nespresso: Descaling problem with Vertuo Plus

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 14:03:54 -0700

The orange/green light came on which means my Vertuo Plus needed descaling. I have done this several time before but this time after the whole descaling cycle was finished, the orange/green light came on again. Any ideas? Do I need to descale it again?

nespresso lattis: Brew unit - mouting pieces

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 08:20:20 -0700

I've just cleaned my Nespresso but during drying process, two pieces has been removed from brew unit. I'm sure that the little plastic pipe is from the brew unit but have a doubt about the little black plastic piece with the copper spring.

Does anyone knows how to mount these pieces into the brew unit please ?

As you can see here, the brew unit piece (I've unmounted all the parts after the pieces came out of here) and the two little pieces

And here is the hole where the one or two pieces came from

Nespresso inissia: Machine not piercing the capsule—water leaks out the back

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 08:05:17 -0700

Hello, After placing the coffee capsule and firmly closing the capsule compartment (capsule holder), I activate the machine. The water is pumped, but it escapes behind the capsule into the used capsule container (capsule bin). I open the compartment and see that the capsule has not been pierced—neither from the front nor the back. What could be the cause of this issue?

Nespresso inissia: Pump is not starting.

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 09:14:04 -0700

Breville Inissia. Lights flash and then steady. Press button and lights flash (like normal cycle, water heats) but the pump never starts (no noise) then buttons stop flashing, like brew has completed. Have tried priming, but think that it is something else, as there is no pump noise.

Nespresso: Lattissima Pro EN750MB - No water from Spout!?!

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 06:30:54 -0700

Had this machine for a number of years. Recently experienced the well-documented leaking from the Extraction Head. I replaced the Head ... produces espresso perfectly now/no leaking. However, now no water comes out of the water spout - so no hot water or frothing. All the hot water is diverted to the tray during this mode. I have tried all the "air pocket" removal techniques ... tried forced air back through the system and it comes out into the drain/tray area.

Very old machine taken out of storage after multiple years of use, water tank has cracked wich I have sealed with super glue and tape.

Nespresso inissia: Not pumping brew. Actually a magimix but looks similar.

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 02:54:03 -0700

All lights functioning and heater getting hot.

Pump not operating.

I've opened the unit and ay the side of the pump there is what I believe is a resistor soldered to the side of the pump but I'm not sure as it doesn't have the usual coded rings. Anyways it looks burnt. Would this be the reason I'm not getting any coffee flowing?

If it is can someone advise me exactly what it is and it's property values so I can get a replacement?

Thanks all.
