Philips Saeco Minuto makes hissing noise, no water out of brew unit. Water coming out into drip tray.

I entered the built-in test mode and having discovered the following: - Water pump is working, flow meter good - Brew unit is not stuck cleaned brew unit, lubricated, cleaned screen - When water temperature is raised to around 80degrees in manual mode, hissing noise comes out of the left side of machine; I then used the pump to flush out the built-up steam - Solenoid valve appears to be working, I hear hissing noise when I activate it - Bean grinder appears to work fine - Machine was descaled regularly and filter used

Hi,
You have to open the machine,take off top half of the machine and you will see near to the pomp a black plastic connection where the hose enters the valve and goes to the brewing group. Most likely it is cracked and the water flows from there. It's cheap to switch, about $ 10, if you do it yourself.

I had the same problem. The water was coming from the front door switch inside top right. I followed the water and turns out the part that needed to be replaced was the steam valve body. #48. http://www.shop.partsguru.com/images/1208344975339-771025787.jpeg and link http://www.shop.partsguru.com/images/1208344975339-771025787.jpeg after I changed it the pool of water under the machine stopped. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: Solis Palazzo - dreaded ventilate problem

Hi
Your machine is still in the descale mode. You haven't finished. If you have run the descaler through, the water is ermpty the pump will still keep going until it stop on its own. If it doesn't stop on its own, the computer thinks its still in the descale mode. remove the water tank and turn the machine back on. The pump will run and then make a lot of noise, then stop. This can take up to 5 minutes. Let it run until it stops. You will get blinking lights on the panel. Put the water tank back on and close the steam knob then open it again. The pump will start the rinse mode. Let it stop on its own. Computer can't see that you ran a whole tank of water, but it can see when the flow meter stops that there is no water left. If you have already rinsed the machine start the pump flowing and just lift the tank off. When the pumps stops the rinse cycle the descale light will be gone but you will have the heater light blinking and the water light steady. Put the tank back on and close the steam valve then open it again. This will clear the water light and the machine will start to heat again.

Try adjusting the grind four numbers coarser and brew a coffee, if you are getting the same result then the brew unit is clogged and the screen needs to be cleaned.

Saeco Vienna deluxe leaks from above door panel

If your Saeco Vienna Deluxe espresso machine is experiencing leaks from above the door panel during coffee brewing, even after cleaning and descaling, there could be a few potential causes for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and address the problem:
  1. Check Brew Group Seals: The brew group is a critical part of the espresso machine. If the seals or gaskets on the brew group are worn or damaged, they could allow water to leak out during brewing. Inspect the brew group and its components for any visible signs of wear or damage. If necessary, replace the seals or gaskets.
  2. Check Door Seal: The door seal or gasket that creates a seal between the door and the machine's interior could be compromised. Inspect the door seal for any visible defects, cracks, or damage. If the seal is not making proper contact, it could lead to leaks. Replace the door seal if needed.
  3. Overflowing Drip Tray: Ensure that the drip tray and the drip tray float are functioning properly. If the drip tray is full or the float is stuck, it could lead to water overflowing from above the door panel. Empty the drip tray and ensure that the float moves freely.
  4. Brew Unit Alignment: Make sure the brew unit is properly aligned and inserted into the machine. If it's not properly seated, it can cause water to leak during brewing. Remove the brew unit and reinsert it, ensuring that it clicks into place securely.
  5. Clogged Drainage Channels: Check for any clogs or blockages in the drainage channels or tubes inside the machine. If water is not properly draining, it can result in leaks. Clean out any debris or buildup that you find.
  6. Water Tank Seating: Ensure that the water tank is properly seated and securely in place. If it's not properly positioned, it can lead to water leaks.
  7. Internal Hoses and Connections: Inspect the internal hoses and connections for any signs of leaks or loose connections. Tighten any fittings if necessary.
  8. Professional Service: If the issue persists after checking and addressing the above potential causes, it may be best to seek the assistance of a professional technician or service center that specializes in Saeco espresso machines. They can diagnose and repair more complex issues that might be causing the leaks.

Phillips saeco syntia coffee machine

If your Philips Saeco Syntia coffee machine is filling up the drip tray too quickly after a period of non-use, there are a few potential causes to consider:
  1. Drip tray not properly positioned: Make sure the drip tray is correctly placed and aligned within the machine. If it's not positioned properly, it may not collect the excess water as intended.
  2. Clogged or blocked brew unit or coffee grounds chute: Over time, coffee grounds and oils can accumulate and clog the brew unit or the coffee grounds chute. This can cause excessive water to bypass the proper channels and end up in the drip tray. Clean the brew unit and the coffee grounds chute according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper functioning.
  3. Faulty water level sensor or float: The coffee machine relies on a water level sensor or float to detect the water level and prevent overflow. If this sensor or float is malfunctioning or stuck, it may not accurately detect the water level, resulting in excessive water in the drip tray. Contact Philips customer support or a qualified technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
  4. Pump or valve issues: Problems with the pump or valves in the machine can cause water to flow too quickly or improperly, leading to overflow in the drip tray. A professional inspection and repair may be required to address these internal components.
In any case, it's recommended to consult the user manual of your specific model for troubleshooting steps and guidelines provided by the manufacturer. If the issue persists, contacting Philips customer support or reaching out to a professional coffee machine repair service would be advisable to ensure proper diagnosis and resolution of the problem.

Hi
Check behind the drip tray for coffee grounds. Make sure that your drip tray is locked in. If its not fully locked it, this could be your problem. If everything is removed but the brew unit, grab the handle without pushing the press button, and pull. If the brew unit comes out, it wasn't locked in. Put the drip tray in. Set the brew unit on the drip tray. Now slide the brew unit towards the machine with a little force and see if that locked it in?

HI
Excess water into the drip tray is an indication that you don't have enough coffee going into the brew unit. There is a lever on the top of the door that has a + on one side and a - to the front. Push the lever back to the full plus, then pull it forward 1 click. Try that.
Water into the drip tray is normal in small amounts. This is the release of pressure after brewing, like the 3 way valve on commercial machines

No coffee, water going to the drip tray

OK, so this is a problem with your brew unit. The unit is not cycling correctly to tell the water to come through.

We had another problem like this just this week.

The wat we fixed it was 1) Give the Brew Unit a really good clean. 2)Make sure the Brew Unit can complete a cycle - manually rotate the brew unit components through a cycle 3) Lubricate the Brew Units moving parts if necessary using some Saeco or Other Food Grade Lubricant

Then try watch a complete coffee cycle by leaving the side door of your machine open, and tricking the micro switches into thinking the door is closed by engaging them with some card or something similar.

Let us know if this does not resolve your issue.
