Great step by step video. Managed to fix mine this afternoon! Thank you

Awesome guide, you are a life saver! Thank you!

Mille grazie Adrian. I had opened my Dulce Gusto mini me and the ‘needle for declogging the diffuser plate’ had fallen out, we didn’t know where it belonged or for what purpose. So happy we found your video

Great video - this deserves many applauses

Belle video! Bravo et Merci.

Thanks buddy. Had to lube the switch at the top, so I used food safe oil (olive oil lol) and it's slick as a duck's back now 👍

Great guide! Easy to follow and extremely helpful!! Thank you!

Thank you for the great explanation! I have a problem because I removed the diffuser plate to clean it but when I came to put it back in place the top lever will not close. There seems to be two rubber plugs at the rear that are stopping it from coming down. Can you help?

My KP 120 has a fault in the switch lever.When you put it sideways to start,it goes back to central position and stops working.Can you help? Tks.

Great video, thanks for sharing it. I have a question, maybe you know, in the first usage, during the cleaning, accidentally the water was totally consumed before the end of the cleaning (hot) cycle, as soon as I heard the different noise from the pump (empty) I turned it off. Could it damage the heate, like melting wires? Do you know how this heater is internally, if the wires or heating element has direct contact with water? Thank you.

Hi. Great video. But i want ask you something. I have one problem with this mashine. The switcher always stuck. Possible to fix it?

Hi Adrian,in my previous comment i forgot to tell you that my machine is a Dolce gusto minim i KP 120.The problem with the water tank is that it seems that it is not fitting easily as it was.Thanks for your help.

My water pump apparently needs to be changed as per Dolce Gusto's technical team. Every time I switch it for hot water for coffee, the machine turns off. Is it worth changing it or buying a new one since they're almost the same price?

👍 thanks for this video But now i have a problem to assemble the back especially at the top ????any advice?

I just the exact same unit for fixing it(as a favor) and the water regulator is not working aka your have to hold the trigger if you want hot water. It was also clogged up, but I already fixed that. Is it easy to disassemble that part, the water regulator switch or it has a some sort of a trick?

Hi adrian . Tnks for the video. I have same model but the machine does not dispense when i switch the lever. It dispenses whrn i keep pressing the lever and when i release it it stops. What do i do?

Hi Adrian.I wonder if you could help? I have a Dolce Gusto minimi coffee machine.I took the back cover off to clean the switch mechanism as the switch was plying up.I fixed the problem,but when I put the back cover back,I noticed that the water tank needed some force to be back in place and also very hard to remove.I have tried to fit the water tank in the back cover when it was off the machine but I have the same problem.Can you behind enough to let me know why the water tank is not easily removed and placing back.Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem

Good video, now i got a other problem, When I followed ur steps to open it, i have cleaned the water the machine from bottom till under the lever switch. Ill put it back in and wanna try but nothing works.. Now i opening it again and see the hot cold lever behind a green square is a tiny lever on it.. when i pull this to the left or right, it make my coffee. How can i fix this that the hot cold lever touches de green square lever together, and set my coffee on time and shuts automatically off? Let me know in the comment of a new video about this. Thnks

is in the coffeemaker a fuse?

Hi I have this problem It is a Krups model type kp120H31 exactly as it is in the video only red 😊 This coffee maker was given to me by a friend because supposedly something cracked in there like the swing out hot cold water selector that if I fix it I will fix it if not I have to throw it away. Description of the problem: The original condition was after switching on, the light on the switch even blinked green but otherwise the coffee maker did nothing. After disassembling it I immediately found the fault that the lever was popped out of that green probably resistive trimmer- nothing was broken off!!! Since the coffee maker was considerably dirty on the inside I pulled out the belly button, heater, base plate, and water flow counter and cleaned everything. I did not disassemble the top head from the mechanism where the capsule is inserted, I just cleaned it. Then I took everything off and turned it on, initially only the red LED was on but it did nothing!!! Now the condition is that it is dead!!! /nothing burned 😊 / I'm pretty sure I 100% connected everything well when I plugged it in because I marked everything And that's why I want to ask if there isn't some special starting sequence /calibration/ and then the coffee machine is ready to use ?

Not sure if you still read these comments, is possible to by pass the Thermal fuse on the water pump, it doesn't look clean(burnt/brownish) haven't been using this machine for 2 years and a week ago using it but water doesn't pump, tried all discale etc, clean the pipe, clean the water sensor...last resort is water pump thermal fuse...cant find where I can buy the spare part or if is even worth to repair it....

HI i like your video ... i have a problem with the heater .. the water don't pass can you help me ?

I have a Dolce gusto mini me and the play and select is broken. Do you know how can I fixe it?

The Mini Me I have doesn't have the pressure it used to. A Napoli capsule at level 3 takes around 10 seconds to break the seal and a total of around 40 seconds!

Great video, thank you so much. We have two of these "Mine me". both broken on the moment. Let me explain. One of them we used it a short time and put it back in the box and leave it for a few years in storage. The second one we used these years and this morning it refuse to get on. So I opened the box with the other one to use this one for the time being. Although it was working fine before we put it in the box, now he refuse to give water. We hear the pumpsound, but no water. I cleaned and removed the part with the pin. but still no water. I move the inputnozzle under the reservoir but stil not working. Now we have nothing :-(. I will buy a torx T10 with a hole to open it. Maybe you have some ideas what can be the problem of these two? Thanks in advance

Hi, I've bent the pin that keeps the injector plate in place. Have you any advice on how to straighten this out? I've tried and I can get it to the point that it clips in but now it is so loose that when you make a few coffees the injector just falls out (sometimes into the coffee. :( ). Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Adrian, I have an issue with my MiniMe where it allows hot water to be dispensed when the lever is pushed to the hot side, but it pops back to the original position in about 1 second or so, halting the water flow, even when the water level is set to the highest. The cold side does not have this issue, and will continue to dispense the required amount of water. Would you be able to advise on what I can look at?

I can use the cold water and after cold water I can restart the hot water, but again, no result. I ran desalinate program, cleaned up needle in diffusor and I've tried to remove air bubbles.

Hello. Red and green flashes means there is no water in the tank. But I assume this is not the case, instead your machine is detecting that. The cold water goest from the tank to the pump and than into your cup. Since thru this route the water is coming out that means you don't have a problem with this route. The hot water goest from the water tank thru the pump and then thru the heater and then in your cup. You have a problem there. Either your heater hot clogged with limescale and needs to be replaced ,most likely, or the hose from the heater to the diffuser is clogged .
