Syntia out of service code?

The out of service lights are blinking. It happened once before and I gave it a through cleaning and it went away. This time I had cleaned it thoroughly a few days ago it has been working fine and this morning after pumping out a couple of espressos it went into out of service mode. I opened up the side door and removed the brew group and gave it another cleaning (which it didn't need as I had done this a couple of days ago) put it back together turned it on and it went back into out of service mode. Please help.

If it is under warranty ,call the manufacturer .There are many causes to the service code , coffee beans ground too fine ,setting for 3 beans may be too much if the beans are small, try setting with one bean...
Valve, round cover , spring loaded , on top of brew group dirty, metal valve pin may be covered with deposits from coffee oils . check manual or call a service center , screen of bottom piston plugged with coffee oils , to silver screen plugged with coffee oils .
none of the super-automatics like oily , shiny or over roasted beans .

SOURCE: Not making espreso all the time

Being that you just started using it I would not be concerned. You did the correct thing by cleaning the brew group. Check on your screen under total coffees. We usually recommend you change the brew group every 10,000 cups.

Make sure you descale the machine and you can try using the cafiza tablets to clean your brew groups internal passages.

SOURCE: portafilter loose in group head

Hi,

Do you only have the top off or do you take out the boiler too?

if you took out the boiler then i think the holder is in wrong position, make sure the gasket in the holder are in place, if not then the portafilter do not lock tight.

Hope this will help you.

Best regards

SOURCE: Saeco Incanto - Brew group does not go back into place

Hi,

Put in the driptray and dregs box to the machine, close the door and power on the machine. When the machine not get any noise more, open the door and take out driotray and dregsbox. Put the brewing unit on place and the same with the driptray and dregsbox.

Best regards

SOURCE: Brew group will not go back in.

I have solved this problem many times...
First remove steam knob by depressing small clip on shaft of knob and pulling the knob out...gently. Note where the dials in the bean tank are set to, you will have to position these knobs to the same position upon reassembly.
Remove the 2 bean tank screws and remove the bean tank.
Remove the 2 screws holding on the top cover.
Lift the top cover off enough to get to the circuit board.
Unplug one of the 3 wire connectors along the top of the circuit board, turn the machine on and it will start to turn the splined shaft.
At the 180 degree point turn the machine off.
If it does not cycle through to 180 degrees then try the other 3 wire plug... one of them will be the right one.
Put the brew group back into the machine and reassemble.
This repair will take you less than 10 mins. from start to finish.

Make sure the brew group is in
rest position; the two references
must match.(look at the marks/arrows on the side of the brew group)

Make sure the components are in
the correct position.
The hook shown must be in the
correct position; to check its
position, firmly press the "PUSH"
button.

Static shock caused my Saeco Syntia Focus (HD8833) to not work. Is there a way to do a hard reset on the machine?

Unplug it at the mains for a day, to allow all the internal capacitors to discharge.
Then plug it in & see if it resets itself.?

Push start and machine wont fill and draining/unlocking light sarts blinking about 2 seconds later

My machine had the exactly same problem:
1. Push Start button to wash, but Draining/Unlocking light will flash right away. The drum started to run and stopped
2. No error code shown up
3. Run Quick test: no error code
4. Run Universal Test: error code F25 (later, found nothing wrong with the CCU)
What I did:
1. Clean the bump: found coins and strings.
2. Clean the drain pipe from the pump to tub: found more coins.
3. Clean chamber of pressure switch at the tub: found nothing.
4. Clean the gap between tub and drum: found a credit card!
After the cleanings, the Draining/Unlocking light would still come back and I almost gave up. Amazingly, I ignored it and a few minutes later.... the machine started to run as normal!
It seems that CCU needs sometime to reset itself after the failure.

My PS3 front light turns from Green to blinking red. I can play games, etc but it shuts off after 10-20 mins. There was once a yellow light but it went away after i shut the ps3 off.

Take it in for service or what u du is go to the Sony website, and somewhere, and call the number on the screen. ill just tell u it right now. --- 954-345-7669, and tell them what happen.

They will probably ask for u 2 ship it back to the industry, for further repair.
