Brew unit missing

I rinsed the brew unit before and a spare part (like a U-shape plastic with wire hang onto it) fell off the brew unit when i removed it from the machine. it's supposed to sit right under the top chute (where you usually put the cleansing tablet into) and so i put it back into its slot. however when i tried to replace the brew unit into the machine, i didnt click well and the display keep showing "brew unit miss." I followed the instruction on the manual and put the tube on a side of the brew unit on right angle etc. but it still doesnt work. pls help!

    can't put the brew unit back into the unit because the slotted drive wheel in the back does not line up with the brew unit.

    Hi,

    I have the CVA 615 espresso machine and I have the same problem. I removed the brew unit for cleaning and the U-shape plastic piece with a spring fell out and I don't know how to put it back. Anyone know where and how it goes back in.



    Thanks,

I have a BOSCH VeroCup 100 coffee machine that doesn't turn on all of the sudden

The peice of plastic is probably the power off switch lever. That ensures the machine will not opperate when the brewing unit is removed, avoiding a horrible mess.

Miele 6805- used coffee grounds don't get dumped into the waste container,

On the left side of the brew unit there should be a metal wire that is bent in the shape of a U that scrapes the grounds off the top of the brewing chamber - the puck then should slide down a small chute that is the shape of a W - into the waste container. Sometimes the Chute can be found installed upside down - shape of an M - it is easily reversed if that is the case

A black piece fell out of my brew unit while cleaning it and I don't know where it goes or how to put it back in. Help!

I assume you mean a 5cm by 5cm squarish piece of black plastic. If so this is the part of coffee chute. When looking at coffee machine from the front it goes on left hand side of the brew unit about half way up. You slide it on below the start of the chute on the brew unit and essentially it extends the chute. It can be installed upside down. If it's fitted correctly if it looks like a 'W' when the brew unit is viewed from left hand side. If fitted incorrectly it looks like an 'M'.

Machine says the brew unit is missing, however, I have a penny size white, round disk that fell into the grounds bin - and I cannot find where it has come from? Any suggestions. Thank you.

Hi, open the door on the right. The brew unit is the thing with the handle that has the "press" on it. You need to push on the upper left side of the brew unit until it clicks. There is an outlet spout on the opposite side of where you are pushing. It goes into an intake port that needs to be lubed, so the outlet spout will slide in without pushing back. That should take care of the missing brew unit.

Remove the brew unit, find the 2 screws above the top shower the connects the discharge tube to spout. Remove screws and carefully remove spring and ball some have a plastic seat at end of spring. Clean tube make sure there is no coffee grounds blocking tube, reassemble and test.

Machine is stuck in rinse cycle and brewunit

Take the brew unit out again, and try to twist the rotational mechanism so that the little arrows in the front of the axis align. This should allow you to insert the unit.
On insertion, you might also need to push the little handle on the front of the brew unit to allow the coffee trough to fit.

It say brew unit missing

The brew unit missing switch is inside the slot at top back wall where the top of the brew unit puts an angled piece of plastic into the slot. The piece is a slope like a nose so it gently pushes the switch as you instert the brew unit. See if the brew unit reaches this slot on the wall. If it doesn't the brew unit most likely jammed up and was removed while the gears were not in home position. Now the gears are not allowing the brew unit to return fully inserted.

If you're handy you can call Miele tech support and request they walk you through steps to diagnose this. They will discover if the gear is out of home position or not. If it is not and the switch is in contact with the brew unit you may be in luck, the swith is cheap. But if the electronics no longer reads the switch signal it's 800 bucks to replace. Good luck!

Won't brew.

It is highly likely the thermal fuse to the hotplate is blown.
you will have to open the unit and look for a small silver bullet shaped with a wire on each end, one end is pointed and has what looks like colored plastic.
you will have to have ohmmeter to read continuity through it . it will show as a shorted when working and open when it is dead.
these are easy to find but the correct temp rating needs to be the same or it may not blow when needed to prevent a counter fire.
The fuse is clamped to the wiring with brass because solder will degrade over heat and time.
