DeLonghi Magnifica 3300 Espresso Machine - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
The grinder on my DeLonghi seems to be stuck. It
Likely a foreign object is blocking up the grinder. Remove all beans and
run at coarsest grind to try to clear it, chase it through with more
beans if necessary. If this does not clear it then the top burr of the
grinder assembly can be removed after disassembling the machine. Mark
the grinder coarseness cogs before moving them to assist reassembly.
Moderately difficult procedure.

Delonghi magnifica door won't stay shut
Could be the brew unit pushing the door open because there’s a coffee build up in the spring loaded chute that directs coffee from the brew unit to the outlet. Result is that the chute is jammed.
Needs cleaning. Might need disassembly. Be prepared to throw up. Mine was moldy.

Delonghi Magnifica 3300 doesn't make coffee, only wet grounds and water in the grounds container, everything else seems normal
Hi JB, not sure if you've junked your 3300 machine by now or had the problem fixed already. Nevertheless, allow me to share with owners of DeLonghi Magnifica Espresso machines who encounter similar problem to yours. Incidentally, mine is a Delonghi Magnifica 3200 which is very much the same as the 3300. Firstly, try to ascertain if the pump is working normally. When the machine is ready to brew coffee, turn ON the steam/hot water knob and see if it pumps normally and for more than 30secs at least. My machine could pump for short durations between 5secs to 20secs max before the water light came on. I checked the flow meter connection but is all seemed well. I noticed signs of water leak (dried up chalky water stains) where the steam wand exits the control panel. Upon opening up the control panel, I noticed a larger patch of dried up water stains on the wand valve assembly. Bought a set of steam wand assembly replacement and to replace the leaking one. It's been some six month now and I'm enjoying my daily cuppa again. Btw, my Delonghi Magnifica 3200 has been serving me well for 10 years! Apart from the steam wand replacement and a faulty micro-switch, I only had to carry out the usual descaling and replacing worn out O-rings.

The descaling light stays on
You are not completing the descale program. See below.10.3 DESCALINGDue to the continuous heating of the water used to make the coffee, overtime it is normal for the tubing inside the machine to fill with lime scale.When the light starts flashing( chap. 12-point 5), it is time to descalethe machine.NOTE: when the light switches on, the coffee maker can still be used toprepare coffee.Proceed as follows:• Empty the tank and pour in the contents of one bottle (125 ml) ofDURGOL descaler plus one liter of water. For subsequent descalingoperations, descaling solution can be purchased from authorisedtechnical service centres.NB: Make sure splashes of descaler do not fall onto surfaces sensitiveto acid such as marble, limestone and glaze.• place a container with a minimum capacity of 1.5 litres underthe milk frother (Fig. 3);• turn the machine on by pressing the button (Fig. 4).• wait for the green and indicator lights to come on steady.• press and hold the button for at least 5 seconds (Fig.14). Thelight inside the button switches on (chap. 11 - point 8) to indicatethe start of the descaling program (the and lights remainoff to indicate that it is not possible to make coffee).• turn the steam knob half a turn anticlockwise (Fig.5). Thedescaling solution will come out of the milk frother and start tofill the container underneath.• the descaling program automatically performs a series of deliveriesand pauses, so as to remove the lime scale deposits frominside the coffee maker.Fig.32The two red buttonshave openedout CORRECTLYThe two red buttonshave notopened outCORRECT INCORRECT33OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS• after around 30 minutes, when the light comes on (chap. 12 - GBpoint 1), turn the steam knob half a turn clockwise (Fig.6) until itstops.The machine must be rinsed so as to eliminate the residues of descalingsolution from inside the machine. Proceed as follows:• remove the water tank, rinse it and fill it with clean water.• reposition the tank.• empty the collection container (located under the milk frother) that isfull of liquid, and then replace it under the milk frother.• turn the steam knob half a turn anticlockwise (Fig. 5). Hot water willcome out of the milk frother and fill the container underneath.• when the tank is empty, the light goes off and the lightcomes on (chap. 12 - point 1).• turn the steam knob all the way clockwise (Fig. 6) and fill the watertank with clean water again.• the program of descaling is hour terminated and the machine isready per do again the coffee.NOTE: if the descaling procedure is stopped before completion, thealarm (chap. 12 - point 5) is not deactivated and the proceduremust be started again form the beginning.IMPORTANT: THE GUARANTEE IS NOT VALID IF THE ABOVE DESCALING OPERATIONIS NOT PERFORMED REGULARLY.

Water indicator light keeps coming on, even though tank is full. Unit stops brewing mid cycle and indicator light comes on.
Do you mean the "Fill Tank" message? If so, I found the problem to be the magnetic switch triggered by the float in the water tank. Please confirm the message you see and I can provide more details.Ok, it sounds like your unit might have the same problem mine did. I posted some of my findings in this thread:http://www.fixya.com/support/t1898311-water_container_full_but_low_indicationAdding a magnet to the float helped for several months but then the problem came back. I found the root-cause to be the 'reed switch' (see picture in the other thread) and when I replaced it, it worked fine. Replacement parts like these are often available through web-sites (e.g. http://www.ereplacementparts.com)

Delonghi magnifica door won't stay shut
I had this problem. The door didn't snap when I shut it and it would pop open and stop the brewing. It was an easy 5 minute fix.
I removed the drip tray and the black plastic bin where the spent coffee grounds are expelled. With a flashlight I could clearly see 1/4" to 1/2" caked coffee grinds lining the back of the cabinet at its base. This residue kept the bin from seating correctly. Because the bin wasn't all the way back into the cabinet it put pressure on the door and kept it from latching. I cleaned out the buildup with a small spatula and a brush and the door latched perfectly again.

How to fix error message less coffee
Mine has done this on and off for about a year. I saw on another post that beans may be to oily. I think that may be the solution as I have gotten different beans (not oily) and it seems to have taken care of that problem. How ever.....no frothing steam, leaking water internally and not pressing the coffee pucks like it used to. maybe just time for a new machine. Any suggestions?
