No water comes out of the milk frother, machine makes no noise when you try to make a capacino. Capacino button just doesn't work. Have consulted manual and the manual doesn't offer any solution.No water comes out of the milk frother, machine makes no noise when you try to make a capacino. Capacino button just doesn't work.

The frother does not have a vacuum, it uses venturi pressure to draw up milk through a venturi at the top of the steam feed. The milk side is clogged from not cleaning enough. soak in boiling water for a few minutes and try to run it in steam mode for a while... if that doesnt work, a light lye solution will dissolve the milk residue clogging it. neutralize the lye with vinegar drawn through after the clog is gone.
(lye will dissolve you as well as milk... use gloves and don't put your face near it while it's working.)

Here are some possible reasons why the milk steamer flow is diminished and steam is not coming out of the bottom of the machine:
Clogged steam wand: The steam wand might be clogged with milk residue, which can restrict the flow of steam. Try cleaning the steam wand with a damp cloth or a pipe cleaner.
Faulty steam valve: The steam valve might be faulty or damaged, which can cause a decrease in steam pressure. In this case, you may need to replace the valve.
Blocked milk frother: The milk frother might be blocked with milk residue, which can prevent the milk from frothing properly. Try cleaning the milk frother with a damp cloth or a pipe cleaner.
Faulty milk frother: The milk frother might be faulty or damaged, which can cause a decrease in milk flow and prevent proper frothing. In this case, you may need to replace the milk frother.
If none of these solutions work, it's best to contact DeLonghi's customer service for further assistance
1- Royal Coffee is not an accurate model. I have to assume that you are having problem with the auto frother that is on the left side of the machine. The auto frother draws milk from the bottle and steams it into the cup.
2- The connection of the frother & the adapter is not right/air tight. The two O-rings on the frother must be pushed in all the way so the O-ring will not be visible.
3- The frother circular chamber for steaming is not clean. There should be no milk deposits visible at all.
4- The silicone tube puling milk from the bottle is connected to the body of the frother with an L-shaped connector. Make sure this connector is air tight fit.
That is what it is supposed to do. Take cold milk in a cup, and put the frother wand in it... Kind of bob it up and down for a few seconds, and the milk will froth.
There may be an issue with the milk you are using if your Keurig K cafe frother is only heating milk and not frothing it. There is nothing wrong with your frother.
You must consider changing the milk you are using and hopefully, your problem will be solved. Read this article for complete details on fixing the frother. Keurig frother not working
Had this exact problem a few times on a cleaned well maintained milk jug top with an ESAM5500M. Delonghi 'repaired' it by sending a new milk jug frothing top.
It's caused by milk fat deposits, the frother part on the milk jug may look clean but deep inside it's not. I clean mine with pipe cleaners, detergent and hot water and still it wouldn't froth.
The problem re-occurs for me every 6 months or so. You could buy the milk fat remover solution to clean it. Personally I just boil the whole milk jug frother in detergent and the again in descaling solution, that's fixed this problem twice now, although I think it will eventually corrode the 'o' rings on the frother, still cheaper than buying a new frother part each time though.
If it still doesn't work after that, the only other reason for this problem I found mention of was caused by a broken rubber seal where the milk jug fits to the machine. It's most likely to be milk fat deposits inside the frother though.
Most common cause of this problem is a blockage in the milk jug. First thing you should try is soaking the complete jug top in a quality milk line cleaner (available from specialist coffee machine retailers) for at least an hour and then rinse thoroughly. Then try running a fresh cleaning solution through the jug instaed of milk. Good luck and post again if this doesnt work.
I just rectified this problem with my Nespresso Latissima Pro machine. This model has a milk frothing unit that is removable to place in the fridge for later use. We are on our second frothing unit over 6 yrs and clean the milk frother religiously. Here's the key...there are 5 pieces to the frothing head: head unit, foam selection dial, spout elbow, silicone draw tube and frother to machine joint piece. Our problem was found with the frother to machine joint piece, the piece that gets pushed into the machine to seat the frother. This piece has a larger hole on one end and a very small hole on the other, there are two rubber 'o' rings on the body and a horizontal slit in one side. This piece becomes completely clogged with hard water deposit that is not cleaned out with the descaling solution sold by Nespresso. I have soaked this piece (along with all head components) in CLR and used a syringe to flush CLR through all the little pieces. I let them sit for 15 mins, then soak in hot water for 5 mins and flush thoroughly with hot running water. Seems to have fixed not just my frother I am currently using but my old one also.
Remove the o rings where the milk frother connects to, there is a green, red and black rubber O ring. Remove them and get a toothpick and clean around where they sit. You will notice a hard milk build up like when you get on your teeth. This is what may be causing your problem the o-rings are not setting their properly. Also, the O Rings might be worn out, replace them.
No water comes out of the milk frother, machine makes no noise when you try to make a capacino. Capacino button just doesn't work. Have consulted manual and the manual doesn't offer any solution.
