Did you clean the machine? When you went through the cleaning steps it should have cleared the clean light. I will tell you what to push first Remove the front cover. If the machine is operating then push and release the harvest button. When the machine completes the Harvest cycle it will stop. Push and release the OFF button. Push and release the clean button. The yellow clean light will blink and display will show C. The machine will drain the reservoir and refill it. Go into the next step when the reservoir has filled. Allow the the ice machine to circulate water for at lest 10 minutes. Normally this is when you would add your cleaning solution but i take it you have already cleaned the machine. Now push and release the Clean button again. The yellow Clean light will be on continuously and the machine will drain and refill the reservoir repeatedly to purge out the ice machine. Now Allow the drain and refill process to continue for at least 20 minutes. Now Push and release the OFF button. The clean cycle will stop and the display will show 0. Now push and release the on button. This should have cleared the yellow clean light. Now with that out of the way if it did not clear it then you will need to replace the control board. The machine will steel make ice with no problem and you just clean the machine every 6 mounts. The yellow clean light is just to remind you that it is time to clean the system. The board is quite costly.

Hello
There should be a clean mode.You need to get some E A high effic cleaner.And run the machine in Deep cleaning mode.

This will clean the machine and drain.

The water alone will not do much for cleaning but it will rinse it between daily use.

To actually clean the machine, I use a cleaning product such as Joe Glo - Espresso Machine Backflush Detergent.

The tricky part is the actual cleaning, first your going to want to clean the tank, and dump that out. Then re-fill the tank with cleaning product and run it through the machine. After cleaning run water through at least twice. If you don't do this you will just force the gunk from the tank into the head, clogging it worse.

Additionally they make a brush for scrubbing the head, if needed.
Sometimes when I don't have the detergent I just use white vinegar.

Enjoy your espresso machine.

How are you doing the clean cycle ?
You should put a tablet in the coffee grounds front lid.
Push the clean button on the inside front panel.
The machine will ask you to open tap and empty tray along the way.
Make sure it does the full cycle.

I had this problem and I solved it by letting the machine dry out overnight. Before I turned it back on I removed the drawer and wiped the area inside the internal flap then I used the pressurized air that you use to clean a computer and blew out all of the residue. It has worked well since then.

Have experienced the same problem for the last nine months. Was finally able to solve it today by following this guide: http://www.wholelattelove.com/articles/jura_capresso_cleaning_guide.cfm
Having cleaned the shower screen I ran the regular cleaning cycle and now the display indiucates "Ready" as it should do.
