Delonghi problems The beans grind up. Then the machine makes a noise and no coffee is made. No water is released.

My Delonghi Magnifica was making a ratcheting /clicking noise when it should have been grinding. No coffee grind coming to diffuser, display showed '' Add more Beans''. I used vacuum cleaner to suck up the residual beans from the hopper and used wooden skewer to poke out any beans at top of the grinder. Did not solve. I then removed the protective hood over the inlet to grinder and used vacuum cleaner to remove all grind. With inspection light I could see a foreign object stuck in the grind. It was stuck fast. Using pointed noise pliers I was able to rotate the inner grinder in the reverse direction which released the object upwards and then gripped by PN pliers. Turned out it was a piece of plastic from the bean hopper lid which had broken off near to the front hinge. All working again and we're getting our fix nia.... AM McCooey

If the machine is making a loud rattling noise it may be that the pump is sucking air and not water at start up. Clean out the machine, reassemble, install water tank and tilt the machine over backwards at approx 45Deg, and start the rinse cycle again. This normally clears the air lock. Good Luck.

Machine reads, water coming out too slow. Make sure to use purified water, and good quality espresso beans

That is the reason the old owners gave it to you . You have to change the circuit board for it and it is as expensive as a new unit plus the labour and shipping .

Even a properly operating super automatic DeLonghi espresso machine makes enough coffee grinder noise to scare your pets and wake you next door neighbors. It's LOUD, no doubt about it. Only if your grinder makes more noise than that do you have a problem.

There are two reasons for this usually. Either the grinder is jammed or the grinding wheel or wheels have broken. Your machine needs to go to a repair shop to be looked at.

We just went through the same situation. We opened the top the Magnifica to get to the grinder and removed the four screws to seperate the grinding pieces. Inside we discovered two black fosilized beans/stones! We removed those, cleaned out all the bean dust and it is working like new! Took about an hour.

do you use the machine often oil in coffee create residue and can accumulate on the grinder and the residue is so thick that it does not let coffee trus remove the coffee bean and were the beans go u should see the grinder teet use a little tootbrush or anything that might fit in there remove the residue and try it it should be good thanks for using fixya pierre
