Philips Senseo HD-7810 Coffee Maker - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I have the same Did you ever found out how to install t he valve? Please send me info to [email protected] Miguel Marquez

Try using it in a totally different wall socket. I don't know *what* it needs exactly, but I've seen this behaviour fixed by moving the Senseo.

Did you get an answer for this?

Try to clean the very small filter you have in the center of the pad holder.

I had the same problem after only a few months. There is a float at the side of the water resivour, this float also has a magnet attached to it and for some reason becomes lodged at the bottom of the tank, telling the machine that there is not enough water in the tank, even when there is. Use a magnet on the outside of the resviour, connect it to the one on the inside and lift very slowly upwards...Hey presto the light stops flashing and the water boils

Most of the time this is caused by one of the tubes - for water transport through the machine - that has come off. It is also possible that the waterpump itself is leaking. You should bring it in at your retailer to have it repaired.

Maybe you inserted the pod with the wrong side up or you used a 2-cup pod in a single cup holder. If the clamping spring isn't working (the lid feels loose when you try to close it), that spring (that is nothing more than a straight piece of metal wire) needs to be replaced.

I guess it's the metal part in the water tank that makes contact with the machine when the water runs out. When you take the water tank off the Senseo it's in the bottom right corner. If you can't repair it, a spare water tank isn't that expensive.

There are no moving parts except for the pump. There might be some contamination in the pump (lime?). As this is a low cost machine, replacing the pump is not worth the cost.

It may be that the heater element has burned out. Is it not not hot enough or just cold. Elements get coated from lime deposits, especially from well water. There are products to clean it. But if its cold, Its time for the trash. I miss mine. Im using a Hamilton Beach cheap unit but its not STEAM

the only thing wat could go wrong is the element.

probably the element is broken, is it 1 one year old? buy another one.

Not sure which Senseo model you have, but inside the water tank, near the bottom of one side, there's a small, black plastic block, which is retained by a small, chrome clip.
I think this plastic block contains a magnet, which trips a small sensor inside of the main body where the tank sits.
Once this sensor is tripped, the machine 'knows' that the tank (with water) is in place, and is now able to function and, if necessary, draw sufficient water to boil.

Try '4ourhouse.co.uk' for over 1million spares of all kinds.

You may need to descale your machine. It is always worth noting that if you put a mug under the machine, it will only half fill it on the one cup setting.

No offence but have you checked the fuse?

I've had one of these for years, the flashing red light usually means not enough water.

Give more details. Do you hear the pump? What are the light doing? Do you hear water boiling? I can help, but I need more info.
