Hi.... The problem is the flow sensor under the EM-200. There are three special screws. Inside there is this flow sensor. It´s a Hall effect transitor (w5029) but the problem is the small magnet in the small turbine inside the sensor. Open it, take the small magnet away, make a hole throught it from side to side and then glue the small magnet in the top side, closer to the sensor. It will work again. Brown wire = GND - White wire = 5Vdc - Yellow wire = pulse.
.
.
After 1 year and 3 months, the problem appeared again. The same flow sensor. The small magnet was completly rusty. I had to change it with a new one. The problem is solved. You can also buy a new flow sensor at Aliexpress. Go there and look for: " Water Flow Sensor 0.3-6L/min Switch Meter Flowmeter Counter Sensor Water Control 1/4" 1.75MPa DIY Kit" Good luck !!

    Very helpfull this solved my problem. My machine would stop after 2 sec and after the procedure it works. The magnet was very rusty, I cleaned it, removed it, drilled a whole through the spinning disk and glued the magnet on top instead of the bottom of the disk so it is closer to the sensor

    Hi, Eridilson!

    [Edit] Please just ignore my question below: you've already said what the wires mean.

    ____
    My coffee machine is leaking from that flowmeter and I will only try to repair it after get another spare part in hands.

    Can you remember what wires you match the original ones?

    Consider the following:

    - Cuisinart flowmeter: white, brown (or red) and yellow
    - Generic flowmeter: yellow, black and red

    Thx for your time.

I was about to abndon pods on this machine, and then I actually used the Pod filter basket - it worked like a charm. Decalcifying is not a bad idea.

SOURCE: Beeping only, and the coffeemaker won't brew at all

Check first that both filters (the water filter and the grounds filter) are in place correctly. Also check that the white tab in the grind cover moves freely when the lid is closed. (You can use a fork tine to test.) If that doesn't solve your beeping issue, contact http://www.cuisinart.com/support/us.html or 1-800-726-0190. I did and they are sending me a new unit at no charge.

SOURCE: I received the Cuisinart Programmable

Try resetting the machine to its factory settings as per the manual and see. Resetting the Factory Settings To revert to the original factory settings: 1. Press the program button once. 2. Press and hold down the manual button and program. 3. Continue holding down manual and program buttons for approximately 3 seconds or until you hear 2 beeps. When you hear the 2 beeps, the light around the 1 cup button and 2 cup buttons will flash, and after that, the program light becomes solid. The espresso machine has now returned to the original factory settings and the next time the single or double espresso functions are used the espresso pours will be 1.5 and 3.0 oz. 4. The espresso machine will then return to normal operation mode and is ready to make another espresso at the push of a button. ---------------- Also is it under warranty. Keep updated.Thanks.Helpmech.

My cuisinart em-200 doesn't turn on, when i connect the espresso maker there's no lights, no sound, nothing happens

Mine is doing the same thing. When I unplug it and let it sit for a while, then plug it back in, it sometimes will turn back on. But then I try to use it, and it doesn’t make a single cup. A little coffee, some steam, and then it turns off again. And it’s only a yesr old. It seems to be garbage.

Cuisnart EM-200 will not stop flashing lights

Different lights have different meanings. However I would go with the water reservoir is empty or not in place properly. It's also possible that the machine is not reaching the proper temperature and that will also cause the light to flash. (Indicates that a repair is needed). (Page 6 in the manual.)

Cuisinart espresso maker

One question: have you tried the machine without the porta-filter attached? If it works through an entire cycle without the porta-filter attached, then the porta-filter is clogged. I've lost that special little tool to poke into the hole on the porta-filter, but a fine-tipped needle works just as well. Other pins that I've tried are too thick. Sometimes there's a piece of coffee that has made it through the top part of the filter gets stuck at the single hole that is the exit. Find an appropriate pin and poke around with it, then run WATER only through the filter. If it makes it through a cycle, you've fixed it. This clogging can happen very frequently with too finely ground coffee.

If however, your machine stops and beeps without a filter attached, then there's something restricting the flow inside the machine and your only alternative is vinegar, or similar decalcifier.

Good luck!

Do you know where can i find the rubber gasket that goes around the brew head of my Cuisinart EM 100 espresso machine ?

It sounds to me that your group seal is bad. Since this machine is a 15-Bar unit, it puts out quite a bit of pressure causing water to leak out around the portafilter when making espresso if your seal is old or damaged. The pressure doesn't build up as much when you are running just water through the machine - hence the reason why the machine works ok without grounds. I sell a LOT of parts and accessories for various manufacturers of espresso machines. This particular seal is extremely difficult to locate fom Cuisinart, but is rather easy to replace. Through extensive testing, I have located a replacement gasket produced by another major manufacturer that fits the Cuisinart EM-100 & EM-200 machines perfectly. I sell them for $10.99 each (or two for $19.99) which includes shipping in the continental US and I accept Paypal. If you would like to contact me via email ([email protected]), I will be happy to help you out.

I want an espresso and it's not working...

Most of the time, you just have to reposition the water reservoir - simply pull it up and then put it back in its proper place. If the water tank is even a centimeter off, the suction tube doesn't properly grab it, so it can't take in water.

If you reposition the water tank, and the EM-100 is still not sucking any water out of the tank, there may be a problem with the water reservoir tank itself. Call Cuisinart - I can't remember the Canadian number off-hand (The EM-100C is a Canadian model, so I'm assuming you're in Canada) - and have them send you a new water tank.

Good luck! Let me know if you need any more help with this machine - I am a huge raving fan.

Dishwasher problem

My dishwasher Indesit DI67S will not run on the number 1 cycle. It will fill and then when that programme finishes it jumps straight to the drying cycle missing all the rinses out etc. If on the number 2 programme it goes all the way through but then doesn't dry. I've also noticed that the water doesn't seem to be heating up much and certainly isn't drying. Is this the element or something else? Once its reached the drying cycle the light for this just flashes then I have a job to try and reset the machine. It can take endless attempts. Will switching the machine off at the mains solve anything or is it the element?
Thankyou
