Saeco Incanto Classic Espresso Machine Questions & Answers
Water in tank but water light on
First, I'm not a Saeco technician. Though I've worked on similar Saeco models.
*** The following is for information only. You should always call your vendor for service, as opening this machine will void warranty.***
- Water not getting to machine or not sensing that the water tank is already filled.
* There usually some type of float near to middle of the water tank. It's usually white or colored plastic. This 'float' needs to move freely up-down to 'sense' the filled tank. clean the tank and shake it -note the movement of this float. It will need further cleaning if it's stuck (or you will have to replace tank if it's crudded up).
* Re-install tank and fill with filtered water. Turn machine off, count to 15 then turn on again. This usually turns on pump to add water to inner tank. If this does not happen then there is a CPU problem. If it does hums for 5-10 seconds then goes off but no heating then the pump may have an air bubble in line. Try the turn off and on method several times (up to 5) to get the water flowing. If it's still not working then there is a clog in the pump and will need service and/or replacement.
* Did you change water source? Since this is a table top machine in which you fill the water tank. Try to use filtered (bottled ok) water. Do Not use Distilled or 100% pure water as this type of water will eat out the metals from your machine! Some places use a water softener as it tends to be better for the machine long term (years).
* Still got problems? Check with vendor or MFR for service or replacement. Most machines of this type do not have serviceable parts or adjustments.

Saeco Incanto Deluxe, ventilate problem
VENTILATE ERROR at 27,211 brew cycles on 12/31/22. I read that a stuck Flow Meter might be the cause of the error. A Factory Reset was suggested, so I did that and the Ventilate Error cleared, but it returned on the 1st brew cycle. Since the pump works fine and I had nothing to lose, I continued Ventilating and let the water tank empty, so it really needed to Ventilate. Started with 1 liter of the hottest tap water available, I allowed the tank to empty and then Ventilated using 1.5 liters of boiling water. The Flow Meter must have cleared because I was offered Hot Water or Steam. In the end, the machine is working fine. I had to re-program all of the settings because of the Factory Reset, but my machine lives on. 2023 here we come.
How to repair off/on switch at bak of machine
At a guess, water or steam has corroded the points and it's permanently shorted. That's not such a huge problem in itself. However, if there is a leak within that's causing this, then you may have further problems down the track. This is still a better scenario than if the PCB is damaged- then who knows.
Good luck

Saeco incanto del luxe coffee machine dumps coffee into waste drawer
Your brew unit may be set in the wrong position inside the machine if someone has had it out to clean or try to fix. The unit has two positions open and neutral when putting back into the machine it should be neutral. This is something I would try first. Now if it is in the open position you will need to reset it. Resetting is better explained on video so I have put a link for a Youtube video. This guy is great and guides you through step by step. Hope this works for you good luck. Please post and let me know.
Cheers
How to Remove Stuck Brew Unit Q
Why i cannot push back the ground coffee tray
With this machine you have to lift a little as you push back and the same with pulling it out lift it up then pull out. Otherwise open the door take everything out and re load to make sure everything is in its correct place.
Why aren't the beans being ground?
try pushing the beans into the grind mechanism while it is grinding or turning the grinder knob but only when grinding, or try different beans
