r/DeLonghi

Dear community of r/Airconditioners,

Today I attempted to deep clean my Delonghi Pac Em82K.1

I removed every possible screw I could find, but nothing from the outer casing would move at all except for the top display panel (and only slightly). I looked everywhere online, but could not find a guide neither by Delonghi or by other people on how to disassemble it.

Therefore I wonder if anyone here could help me figure out how to disassemble this unit so I can properly clean it, to make sure it functions as long as possible.

I have a suspicion that it is being held in place by very annoying and stubborn plastic clips. I tried prying open the top but to no avail.

I just sent an e-mail to their customer support team but I am skeptic they will help me as this seems intentionally designed not to be easily opened ... So I am trying all possible avenues in advance.

Thank you

Hello I’m trying to descale the machine but about 1 minute in to the cycle it trips the electric rccb then when I try it turn it back on it trips it straight away unless left overnight to cooldown etc. I can’t use the machine until I descale it. I’ve had the top of the machine off and the sides but can’t see any water leaks etc. unfortunately I don’t have an insulation tester. I have tried a multimeter but tests are coming back fine. Could it be the thermablock at fault?

Hi. My coffee machine refuses to make coffee since about a week. When i press the power button, the infuser moves a little and then the triangle warning sign lights on. I don't know why, the manual says this red triangle you see in the video is caused by dirt. So i completely cleaned it, i even opened it. It was a pain in the ass and it still doesn't work. If anybody knows what could cause this, please help me. Apparently, i'm not the only one facing this issue with this coffee machine but i've find the answer nowhere.

did anyone have this problem with the coffee machine? it doesnt foam up the milk it only makes a lot of steam, the machine is only 2 weeks old

Hi! I’ve had this machine for a while and a couple of years ago it started making this loud squeaky/chirpy sound when making espresso. It does not make that sound when using then steamer/frother.

I tried having it serviced, but was told it was fine and the person said the labor really wasn’t worth it because this machine is not really made to be serviced easily. I was told to keep using it, which I have, and it still produces great espresso, just very loud loudly.

Thoughts on what could be causing this? Is this something that I can try to fix myself? (No, I do not have experience working on espresso machines hahaha).

I de-scale it today, but no changes.
That makes that sound with or without the portafilter.

Model: De’Longhi EC860

It stopped making coffee so I've dissambled it and washed the brewing unit. Then, I had clicked self-washing button, but then it started making loud sounds and started vibrating. I've toggled the power (on the back) and enabled it again. Then, after it fully enabled, I tried to make some coffee. But it started maming EVEN LOUDER and REALLY bad low-frequency clicking sounds (that are NOT okay) and vibrating really bad, so I've toggled the power again.. and, now, it's not even passing power-on self-diagnosis. The red LEDs just blink in the same pattern: from left to right, with same ~1sec delay

I hope it's not broken..

Today, while grinding coffee, the grinder suddenly started making an unusual, quite loud noise that I had never heard before. It also stopped before finishing grinding the full amount of coffee.
At first, I thought there might not be enough coffee beans in the container, so I added more and tried again. Unfortunately, this did not make any difference and the same issue occurred.
I have attached a video where you can hear the unusual sound the grinder is making. I would really appreciate your help in identifying what might be causing this issue and what I should do next.

I’ve got this old De’Longhi machine and recently the portafilter has stopped staying locked in place. It ends up coming loose and falling off mid-brew.

It doesn’t seem to be caused by limescale, and it gets noticeably worse when there’s coffee in the portafilter. The rubber seal inside the machine looks fine, and the mechanism still seems to move normally when empty, as you can see in the video.

Does anyone know what could be causing this and whether it’s something that can be fixed? Or is it finally time for a new machine?

Straight out of the box, brand new, and it's giving me an error. If I pull up on the front of it, I can hear a sensor on the inside click, but it goes right back when I stop lifting up on it. Did I get a defective unit?

How to fix this? It stops in the middle. De'Longhi Magnifica ECAM220.60.B

It worked good for a couple of cappuccino

Hi All, Started to have grinder issue, it basically stuck and not coming out with any ground coffee even though the motor is spinning. Fortunately the motor is not burned but this is why l'm posting the problem here to check with you guys who more au fair with this machine. So I took it apart to clean and found that when the top part of the burr is taken out, it spins fine but when replaced the top burr back in and set it on the finest setting, it does that "brake" at the end, is this normal I suppose? When I set it to 2nd finest, it doesn't do it Have I potentially got a motor or grinder assembly issue? Thanks in advance

Scoop for scale. Magnifica Duo.

There’s a little black pillar and a smoke colored plastic cap looking thing that were loose inside the water reservoir.

I’m assuming they’re supposed to go in the channel in the bottom of the reservoir, but the cap doesn’t clip to anything or stay in place. If I rest it on top, they both just float up as soon as water is in the tank.

The machine isn’t good about detecting when it’s out of water so I’m wondering if it has something to do with that? But I cannot find any instructions or diagrams showing how to install it properly.

Hello, I recently picked up a la specialista espresso machine that was neglected, which caused the grinder motor to fail. I took apart the machine and cleaned it inside and out and also replaced the grinder motor and assembly, reusing the old attachments and put everything together. The new motor works and does not jam up as the old one did however, the grind amount does not seem to be enough. Changing the grind setting does not change the amount at all. Has anyone faced this issue before? If so, how do I fix it and is there some sort of factory reset that I can do?

Delonghi prima donna elite.

Machine grinds and produces espresso no problem but the steam and water spout have stopped working.

Weirdly steam does come out of the drip tray for some reason.

I have tried descaling / cleaning but nothing seems to fix it.

Any ideas?
