- Hi, My delonghi primadonna coffee machine will not draw up milk.It trys to but it just doesnt happen. I have checked the lines for milk stones and thats not the problem, the lines are clean. The milk container is clean,If i replace the milk container with the water spout,i can get hot water through the same section of the machine that does the milk. I have descaled the machine 3 times and that hasn't made a difference. I have added just water in the milk container and that doesn't work either, i just get steam and a dribble of water coming through(probably only steam really and not actually water). The machine will still produce coffee so thats fine. The tube inside the milk container fits tightly.I dont know what else i can tell you. Everything works except it wont draw up milk. hope you can solve this for me , thankyouNov 17, 2009
- Hi Justaskjoe, I have checked what you suggested again and it seems ok and clean. I have always used low fat milk in the milk container and while testing it i am using water in the milk container. What i have recently discovered is when i run the milk setting and if i very slowly push the milk frother thingy from cappuccino towards the flat white setting i have gotten the milk container to draw up water. This does not happen every time i try i though, but i has happened a couple of times. Also when i push the clean button on the milk container the coffee machine makes a beep registering the action but nothing happens. I think we have narrowed the problem down to the milk container but i dont know what else to do . I hope this information is helpful and i look forward to your reply. Thankyou.Nov 18, 2009
- Hi, None of the solutions have had any success to date. i believe we have narrowed the problem down to the milk container. the milk container is only 6 mths old. I have discovered that when i run the milk setting and slowly push the frother control from cappuccino towards the flat white setting i sometimes get the milk to draw up, I try it again but it doesnt work all the time only sometimes, when it does work its always between Latte and flat white setting on the milk container. ( I am using water at the moment)I have always used low fat milk too. when i push the clean button on the milk container the coffee machine makes a beep to register the action but nothing happens.i am i the only person to ever have had this problem as it seems difficult for us all to solve. I hope someone can help, its very frustrating hey. i Look forward to your solution. Thankyou for your patience.Nov 22, 2009
- Hi Iseri, Like i said in my last post i am using water at the moment and when i slowly push the frother setting from cappuccino to latte and then towards flat white , i sometimes get it to draw up the water. I think i might have solved it as i have recently discovered the black O- ring where the milk container connects has a couple of like chips off the O-ring. I am going to try and get a perfect replacement tommorrow from a bearing shop that can measure the o-ring and give me a replacement. If that is the solution i will let you know. Would that o-ring also affect the cleaning button on the milk container? As in my last post i explained that when i push the cleaning button nothing happens. If the o-ring doesnt affect the cleaning button can u please tell me why that wont work then . Thankyou , I look forward to your response.
