Water leaks from the top of the C190 Espresso Machine

After three years our C190 Nespresso machine starts to leak really bad. We have desclaed it with a Nespresso descaling kit and tightened the holder of the capsules...no success!
Would appreacite any hint on how to resolve the problem
Thanks you

    Same problem. Leaks from jaws and also from inside. Water is not coming out of resevoir, but apparently some place inside the heating portion before it is pumped out.

    Water flooding the benchtop and now onto the kitchen floor. Just ordered new coffees too, very annoying.
    No service I guess just trash it. Only a few months old too.

    Mopped it all up and letting it dry pit, will investigate tomorrow.

    Same thing here. I'm pretty sure the leak is from the bottom of the water tank. I descaled and bought a new water tank: same problem. That thing is revetted together and I can't even open it up to look for the problem. I guess I'll just send it back for service.

    I have the same problem and my first thought was to get a new water tank but can't seem to find one online. Any ideas where I can get one?

In our case the problem was fixed easily: the metal piece in which the capsule sits is screwed in on the top. When it became loose our machine started to leak water from the top. So the problem was solved by retightening it!

My C190 has the same problem too. I called the Nespresso club and they said that the unit probably needs to be descaled. They've been super helpful with me on the phone and even sent me two packs of descaling solution at no charge. I got the package in 1 day too!
Tonight I descaled the unit and had got no luck. I'll be sending the unit back in a few days so they can fix or replace the unit. I got the new Lattissima last night so I'm not too worried about it.

My nespresso c190 makes coffee watery

Have you decalcified the machine? They need descaling about once every year - 18 months, and one MUST use the Nespresso Descaling Pack, which is designed for all Nespresso machines. I can't understand why the capsule holder is tight, unless you have used so-called "Nespresso Compatible" capsules, which can cause this. The machines are designed for use only with genuine Nespresso capsules.

How do I descale my Nespresso C190 coffee machine?

You can buy a descaling kit from your Coffee pod supplier, but I simply use a mix of half water and half white vinegar - run this through your machine and it will descale perfectly.

No water comes out of C190

Basically there are air pockets in the system that need to be cleared. Make sure the light has stopped blinking before you do this. If the light is blinking it means the machine is too hot. Turn off and unplug the unit. Fill the tank with hot water and run in coffee mode (lever towards you). You have to be patient it may take a while. Let it run till tank is empty. Now start the descaling process. You need to use the Nespresso descaling kit for this. This should solve your problem.

Water leaking from reservoir

I had the same problem. All of a sudden my kitchen top counter got filled with water. The water was leaking from the Nespresso C190 water resevoir at the bottom. Exactly where the reservoir meets the coffee machine base. I had by chance an "O" rubber ring left from a faucet which I inserted at the base of the water rervoir right on the small **** which when it sits on the C190 base lets a valve open in order the water to flow through. The "O" ring was 2 to 3 mm in diameter and about 1 mm thick, You might experiment with different ones until you solve your problem.

WHEN SWITCHED OFF, WATER LEAKS AT THE BASE OF NESPRESSO C100 MACHINE

I opened mine when this did this - it also happened to my second Magimix Nespresso Manual machine. A short pipe carrying pressurized water had burst. I called Nespresso . parts were not available and they offered me a new half-price machine. We are talking a 4 inch piece of plastic tubing here. Shame on you Nespresso for encouraging me to throw what is otherwise a fine machine....

Krups Nespresso FNA2 coffe/cappucino machine

First thing to try is a descale. Run the machine normally using it (as if making a cup of both types) a couple of times with a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water. Leave the machine off but uncleaned overnight. run a couple of cycles with just water, and if there is still a slight vinegar taste then run a cycle with a teaspoon of baking soda in water, then flush with just water again. If this doesn't solve the problem, try again with 75% vinegar. If still not working, there is either a control board problem (may be solveable), or the valve/solenoid that stops/allows the water is sticking, almost certainly solveable by taking that apart and cleaning/lubricating. Definitely solveable by replacement. Let me know what you get after a descale if no luck. Hope this helps :)
