Delonghi Magnifica pressure problem

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Water pressure seems to be lower so coffee comes drips very slow and cannot be tamped as much as it used to. I changed the ULKA water pump but still no go. I'm open to advice please!

    I had the exact same problem. your video saved me 25$ of buying a new pump + After reading the comments here I saw a suggestion to run some vinegar. I filled the water tank with vinegar (around 1.2 liters) and activated cleaning procedure, Vouallah! Everything Is Perfect now, no more low pressure!!!

    Not trying to nitpick but a new pump would likely come in handy sooner or later anyway, they also sometimes completely fail suddenly so it's not a bad idea to have a spare one.

    I had the same problem - no pressure coming out of water spout, and very slow dripping for coffee. I ran white vinegar thru the water spout for a while, which produced great pressure, and also fixed my dripping problem. Machine works great now. I plan on using vinegar to descale from now on. My water source is a well and has a higher hardness/calcium content.

    With mine I noticed if I use ultra filtered or purified water and hit the rinse cycle after every shot it keeps pressure. Mine had the same problem and making sure you rise it well and if you use tap water constant descaling it will help a lot. It took my a while to make mine keep the pressure. Also rinsing and occasionally greasing it can really help

    Great video. Can someone explain to me how the water tubes, in and out, fit into the steam boiler pipes ? I have the same problem - steam spluttering out of the joints around the two brass nuts that can be unscrewed around the water tubes. But after unscrewing these, the two water tubes are solidly in the steam boiler pipes. Do you press these in more or pull them out? This is the stage I’m stuck at. On the matter of the removal of the water pump I found that the rubber joint was very difficult to pull out and push back in. This difficulty was caused by the rubber joint being unnecessarily long, so I trimmed it with a Stanley knife. Anyway, some advice on the steam boiler query would be gratefully appreciated. Ta. Barry

    Powder and getting stuck in the process. So cleaning out the grinder unit is the way to go. You have to disconnect two wires to get them to feed through a hole in the casing the unit pulls up at the top .

    The problem is the grind is too fine, adjusting the grinder to a courser grind will fix the problem I decided to use already ground coffee instead of coffee beans After watching this and other videos. When I used already ground coffee the machine worked properly. Now I use a courser setting and it works fine.

    I have been doing the descaling routine every time the red light demanded it. The problem with not enough water coming through fast enough seems to lie elsewhere I think. Good to know, that this issue might not require a new pump but different troubleshooting.

  • @ddmitrie

    Still it is the pressure problem. Either new pump is defective or heater is clogged. Try to clean heater with strong and worm vinegar. Two tanks would help. If they don't, it's pump and you have to replace it once again. As of the broken coffee bricks, I have the same problem too. Machine worked very nice and produced solid bricks before I cleaned it last time. And now the coffee ground powder is everywhere inside after 5-6 caps. Can't figure out what's wrong with it.

    Question for the experts...I have the Magnifica. It will pull single shot but not double. Pump sounds normal at start and quickly gets quiet with nothing coming out. I replaced pump with oem after 3 complete descaling procedures made no difference. Hot water and steam works good. Water comes out of espresso nozzles at startup and shutdown. I fully cleaned and lubricated the plunger assembly (even that plug and tiny hole below screen). No signs in tubing of scale buildup. I am at a loss. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi! I have similar problems! in technician mode if I brew the grinder for 5-6 seconds. but if I make the coffee in the normal way, the dose is almost 0 but the grinder goes too long (10 sec) the grinding fineness is also adequate and so it produces these symptoms. I replaced and lubricated all the seals. I also put on another front panel to see if the potentiometer is bad but not. Advice?

    The problem is that today machines are made for unthinking people. Therefore, this machine has an automatic decalcification program. When you read the instructions, the decalcification process takes place only through the panrello. It is logical, therefore, that the cleaning completely avoids the brewing unit, which is the most important part of the machine. The spawning unit then clogs and this causes this problem. So if you want the device to work, you must also involve your brain. Perform the descaling of the appliance by filling the reservoir with the appropriate decalcifier, set the appliance to deliver a small amount of coffee and prepare coffee using the ground coffee button. This causes the decalcifier to enter the brewing unit. Bring a break between each discharge, allow the solution to work chemically. It should help. P.S. Do not forget to carry out a thorough flush with fresh water.Perhaps it is understandable for you, I use a compiler.

You can use vinegar and lemon acid mix or regular coffee machine descaling solution just run it when you switch the machine on and off(no coffee in the pod) so the machine rinse without making coffee(it is slow but will cleans the way)also make sure that your coffee pod is clear and water pass free (my old coffee pod was full of coffee waste in the pod and most of the holes were blocked I used small needle to clear it)

    @@kbenkovski ok I'll will try it with the vinegar. I've done the decalcificer by "making coffee" and via the decacification mode and lemon water a few times. I saw a slight improvement. When I open the machine the water runs fine but once I put the mushroom valve back on it doesnt. That's why I'm thinking it might be the pump. The hot water runs but similar to the video not as intense. If i remove the valve I can make coffee just fine but then can't get hot water or steam.
