Question moved from Washing Machines.
Did you measure it?
Ideal brewing temperature is between 195°F and 205°F
Is There a Perfect Coffee Brewing Temperature? According to the National Coffee Association, the ideal water temperature for extraction is between 195°F and 205°F, which is a little below the boiling point of water - 212°F. What's handy about this temperature range is that it works across all brewing methods.
Page 50 of the manual
The adjustment of the economizer for regulating the delivered water temperature is made by the installing service technician.
Question edited for clarity.
The 'cleaning group' is usually a lot more than a standard cleaning cycle by pressing a button. I am guessing it is telling to disassemble and clean the brew head.
These machine require a lot of maintenance and are basically designed to fail and need servicing and parts.

Question moved from Cellphones to La Cimbali. If you put 'make model (what it is)' at the beginning, you are more likely to be offered the correct Category.
It is a Professional Espresso Maker Rebecca. It needs professional service. Contact their support direct. The first thing to try is disconnecting from power for 5 minutes.

* Customer adjustments on an M2 machine is somewhat limited. You may adjust a few things but you will need to have your coffee vendor send in a Cimbali qualified service tech to reset or set up the machine for your new(?) menu.
* Okay, if you were previously set up with the "correct" settings AND you have not changed the Cup, Grind size, or any of the "customer settings" Then you will need to call for service as something is clogged or not working right.
* Perform a complete wash cycle at least twice (with cleaning pill) and then again 2-3 more times with out using the cleaning pill. (This will completely flush the system clear of coffee.
* check that you have the original cup that was used to calibrate the machine when it was first installed. The purchasing manager may have got "comped" with new cups to seal a coffee deal.
* Better to use a measuring cup for accurate amounts. You can relay this info to the service department.
* Again, Call for service (and once on site, ask the tech to show you the customer settings. It's complicated so ask if it's okay to phone video record the set up process. Don't bother with the Tech set up as that won't help you.)
* Final, These machine (really a Robot) needs constant cleaning and maint. to function at peak performance. I've found the best results is to run a clean cycle often (you only need to use the clean pill once a day.) Just after the morning rush, after lunch rush, at closing. Use the cleaning pill before morning opening.\

* You will need to program dosing on each group head.
* I'm surprised I did not record and upload a programing video *sigh*
Oh well, somebody did it already:(check at 3:57 on the following vid)

* Set up each shot with a filled portafilter (for the appropriate dose setting. Single for single, double for double, etc.)
* Press and hold "Stop" button till it light (and/or beeps). Release stop button
* press and HOLD the appropriate dose button (within 5 seconds or it cancels out)
* Watch the coffee dose as it pours out into cup or a shot glass (for accuracy)
* Release the dose button just before it hits the desired amount. You may have to do this several times to practice.
* Continue with setting the dose on the other settings (long, double, etc.)
* Note; you can set the "least used group" as in a 3 or 4 group head machine with specialty doses. Like a triple if you have the proper portafilter for this shot. Or an "American" long shot (though I don't recommend running 6-8 oz of water through a single coffee dose. Though I have found some shops using drip coffee through a triple basket and very long dose to fill mugs. They didn't want to get a regular 12 cup brewer.)
* There are other dosing tricks like copy over to other groups. But I've found that setting each group and dose is good practice. (and I have to do it several times a day as a Espresso Tech.)

* M1 (M2, M50's, M39's) Especially "Super Automatics" and any newer machine with the "round metal button" that doesn't seem to do anything. Will give an audible and visual read out of what needs to be checked or performed.
* The most common with the super automatics (it does everything from grinding, dosing, and sometimes auto frothing.) is the clean cycle warning. Usually there is a requirement to add a cleaning pill (for coffee) and/or cleaning solution (for milk products). Frequent daily cleaning is required to keep these "Robots" in top condition.
* Full dregs (waste coffee) drawer. Remove and clean out. Close cover completely.
* A less frequent alarm is the quarterly or semi-annual maintenance warning. This will continue to warn every morning at start up, but is usually silenced once the machine is put into operation. Though some units may still display a warning. Note: If this warning is ignored, there is a "lock out" if it passes 6 months. (well it did when I was still working. Cimbali may have dropped this option.)
* Any unit will alarm if there is a critical fault in the system; Jam motor, Full dregs drawer, Low or High temperatures, etc. All require a qualified service tech to check, repair, and reset equipment.
* Which brings us back to the "do nothing button". It's the "Key" we use to service these Chimbali machines. The tech needs it to clear alarms and program the equipment. Customers are allowed to make some changes to the dosing and a few other settings. But most settings have limits that will damage the machine if disregarded. (like over grinding too much coffee, trying to compress it into a small puck. can't, will break the drive motor.)
* Still buzzing? Call vendor for service.

* You will need to program groups again.

The La Cimbali Junior is a 1 group professional espresso machine. Most are located in restaurants that want to serve a cup or two for customers. You will find few homes with this level of machine. Especially with the proliferation of "Mini Super-Automatics" now offered where the whole been is ground, measured, compacted, and served with exacting amount and some top off with frothed milk!
The JR has several items that will normally buzz or whine when in operation. There are also defined "Clicks" of the group valve when a shot is pulled. I will go through the list of likely components that make loud noises when about to fail.
*** The following is for information only! Call your vendor for service as there are dangerous voltages, high pressure, and scalding stem present in these types of professional machines. ***
* All JR's come with a water pump. Two types; Vibration and Rotary. The vibration makes a buzzing sound (50/60 Hz) which will get loud if there is a blockage. The rotary pump with it's accompanying large motor will also "Clack" if no water is flowing through. Stop immediately as both sounds are an indication of a straining pump. If it suddenly goes quiet then the pump is damaged or hopefully the fuse blew. Call for service.
* The group valve will usually buzz when pulling a shot. But if it's louder than normal then there is a problem with the valve (clogged) or coil (shorted). Call for service.
* If there are loud blasts of steam and a quiet period with another blast in about 10 mins. Then the boiler is over heating (runaway steam). Unplug and call for service.
* If there is constant steam blast from the top, even if it's turned off (But NOT unplugged) the element is shorted to water. Unplug immediately and call for service.
* Popping sounds are normal at start up as the metal boiler expands during initial heating. But not after 10 mins of heating. Especially if you see water/steam coming from parts of the machine you don't expect. Unplug. Call for service.
* Power/Heater contactor will buzz if coil is damaged or contacts burnt. Call for service.
* Final; I do not recommend opening the machine yourself as once you hear a loud noise it's usually too late and the damage is done.
* Parts that needs check/replacement; Vibration or rotary pump, motor, group valve, safety valve, vacuum valve, thermostat/pressure-stat, element, boiler and element gasket, contactor.

Check the Operating Temperature:
Ensure that the machine has reached the correct operating temperature. If it hasn't, the indicator light will be on. Wait until the machine is fully heated before proceeding.
Check for Ongoing Programs:
If a rinse or cleaning program is currently in progress, the cleaning button may be flashing. Wait for any ongoing programs to complete before trying to brew coffee.
Inspect the Brewing Unit:
Make sure the brewing unit is properly seated and not obstructed. The brew group should be in the correct position.
If the brew group overflows, it could be due to a blockage or misalignment. Remove the brew group, clean it thoroughly, and reinsert it properly.
Inspect the Coffee Spout and Drainage Area:
Check the coffee spout for any clogs or blockages. Clean it if necessary.
Examine the drainage area at the bottom of the machine. If water is running away onto the floor, there may be a leak. Inspect the drip tray and other components for leaks or damage.
Refer to the Operating Manual:
Consult the operating instructions manual for your Schaerer Coffee Club machine. If the above do not resolve your issues, you may have to contact Schaerer Services.
They make a thousand models. It sounds like the heating element has failed. Generic help and videos in the link but these machines need dealer service at regular intervals depending on the complexity of the particular model.

Question edited for clarity.
These machine need dealer servicing every 6 to 9 months depending on usage. They don't tell you this when you buy them, but I have been fighting these types of machines for the 9 years before I retired. One place had 2 machines and another has 6. Once machine did 1,200 cups a days and was serviced every month. Airport Business Class Lounges.
