Nespresso Delonghi Lattissima Touch: Latissima Touch - Fails to complete the descaling process

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 05:29:41 -0700

Tried to descale the machine (when prompted by the flashing light).

Descaling cycle completed, but after filling the tank with fresh water the machine switched off when the froth button was pressed to start the rinse cycle.

Tried to run the whole process three times - no change.

So can't complete the rinse and the descale light continues to flash.

Any similar experience and suggested fix out there?

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: 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: Nespresso Essenza Mini: Pump Runs non stop when plugged In, No Lights

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:18:10 -0700

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my Nespresso Essenza Mini (Krups). As soon as I plug it into a 220V AC outlet, the pump starts running immediately and does not stop. It keeps pumping cold water continuously.

None of the indicator lights turn on or flash, and the machine does not respond to any button presses. It just keeps pumping until I unplug it.

So far, I’ve tried:

Plugging it into a different outlet
Checking for visible signs of damage or moisture
Power cycling (unplugging and plugging back in after a few minutes)

Nothing has helped. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Could it be a faulty control board, stuck relay, or something else?

Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Nespresso inissia: Nespresso Inissia Leak from pushfit connector from pump

Tue, 13 May 2025 14:58:06 -0700

My krups nespresso inissia is leaking from the bottom. I heard the push fit connecing the pump to the tubing pop out. I found a tiny O ring when I disassembled the machine. I cannot see where this goes as there is already an O ring on the male pump connector. I pushed it back in (leaving the O ring out) and all was well for about 4 coffees and then the connector popped out again and water pumped out the bottom again. Could someone advise on this? Thanks. Please see photos

Nespresso Vertuoline: Why is the lid to my Nespresso machine extremely difficult to lock?

Sun, 30 Jun 2024 04:47:19 -0700

As the question asks, why has the lid become extremely difficult to lock and unlock?

We have never had this problem before, it seems like it might be gummed up somewhere and needs a bit of oil or something.

Has anyone experienced this issue before and what did you do to rectify this?

Nespresso CitiZ: Quick blinking doesnt stop after NTC sensor replacement

Sat, 14 Jan 2023 14:47:08 -0700

Hi,

I have a problem with Citiz&Milk C120, I guess it's similar to the subject. The machine is in descaling mode permanently, can't quit no matter what. After disassembly and checking with the repair manual, hot thermostat and quick blinking indicates faulty NTC sensor and requires it's replacement.

NTC sensor replacement didn't help and the machine goes into fault mode (quick blinking) after some heating of thermostat.

Has anyone faced this problem and maybe knows where to look for the problem?

Nespresso inissia: Nespresso Inissia’s cup holder fell off; URGENT HELP NEEDED!

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 07:57:24 -0700

Hey! My nespresso inissia’s cup holder fell off while I was emptying my used pods into the trash can. I looked for any broken or missing parts, fortunately there were none. However, I still couldn’t manage to re-attach it and didn’t try too hard either out of the fear of breaking it. Can someone please help me out on how to re-attach it? Thank you 😊

Nespresso Vertuoline: My orange light never comes on. Why?

Mon, 18 Jan 2021 11:34:17 -0700

Gentlemen: My Nespresso Vertuoplus Deluxe orange light has never come on. It has never displayed. I have never seen it. I have brewed about twelve pods of coffee since I received my Nespresso coffee maker. In all except one, the Nespresso has dispensed or poured-out too much hot water. It has poured out 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 300% too much water in every cup except one. I have tried to reset the machine and manually reprogram it and the orange light has never come on. During all the regular operation of the machine from the first moment I plugged it in, the orange light has never come on. Never. I have never seen it. What should I do? Return the machine? Thank you very much. Sincerely yours, Caleb Boone, caleb@eaglecom.net
