Its going to stink, but run a full tank of straight vinegar through it (without coffee) then run water through it a couple times to rinse the vinegar out (without coffee) Afterwards should be back to normal operation

SOURCE: saeco milk island - no froth

Molly -- re: position of grey plug. I don't think this makes any difference at all. The key issue is to make sure those two slots are clear of debris or moisture. One month on and I have continued to achieve thick frothy milk purely from rinsing the milk island parts under a running tap, leaving them to dry, and then giving a short sharp blow to the two slots in the valve before reassembling.

Good luck

SOURCE: Steam not frothing milk

Hi,

Have you decalcify the machine, the boiler does not heat up if there is calcium in it.

SOURCE: Coffee maker makes cream curdle

Run two or three reservoirs full of plain water through the machine to rinse out the descaler, which is acidic.

Acid curdles milk.

SOURCE: water leaking out the bottom of the coffee maker

If it leaks DURING brewing, you may have to decalcify it (aka, run through a cycle of 4 cups vinegar, fill to the top with water, 2-3 times and see if it helps).
If it leaks before you even start brewing a pot of coffee, something is broken on the inside of the coffee maker, and I would recommend contacting Waring--they may be able to get you a replacement coffee maker (and if you're under warranty, usually a replacement would be free!).


Their phone number (according to their website, www.waringproducts.com ) is 1-800-4WARING (1-800-492-7464)



Good luck! :)

Display says 'DECALCIFY'...I don't hvae the solution they recommend...what can I use to descale?

You should really use the solution that is recommended for the machine as damage could be caused to seals etc if you don't. The only other thing I have seen used is normal white vinegar but it takes a lot longer to work.

Heat temp and time

When a machine takes a longer time to heat up, this is often due to scale on top of the heating element, try using a descaler product, and running a descale cycle a couple of time.

If it is not a scale problem, then it is usually a faulty thermostat or a faulty element.

Slow and low heating/temp

When a machine takes a longer time to heat up, this is often due to scale on top of the heating element, try using a descaler product, and running a descale cycle a couple of time.

If it is not a scale problem, then it is usually a faulty thermostat or a faulty element.
When it is a faulty thermostat water gets hotter than normally.

No steam

There is descaling and then there is descaling.

We have written a good article on how to descale saeco coffee machines which you may find useful.

Try a really heavy descale - use the recommended dosage of descale powder or solution in 3/4 the recommended quantity of water.

Run some coffee through the coffee side of your machine, then the water/steam side of your machine and then allow to sit for a good five monutes before repeating.

Do this until the solution no longer comes out with a greenish tinge and then flush both sides with fresh water.

Make you use on filtered water or an in tank filter in your machine.

If this doesnt work it's off to your saeco service center.

Solis Palazzo Espresso Machine

The machine is still stuck in the descaling cycle. You must open the steam valve and let all the liquid drain from the tank. This takes approx. 45 min. because it comes out intermittenly. After this is complete all the front buttons will flash. Close the steam valve, rinse the tank, then fill it with fresh water. Open the valve again and let all the water drain from the tank again. This time it will only take a couple of minutes. After it has completed close the valve and the machine will return to normal operation.
