Hello Loriktarrant,

I understand the your Meile CVA4075 is showing you an F73 code. This code means that the brew unit needs to be cleaned. Here is a link to the owners manual on page 40 it shows you how to manually remove and clean the brew unit. The other issue you are having with the milk and coffe not being hot enough could be to the machine needing descaled.

Thank you for choosing FixYa.com

Miele CVA 4075 coffee machine. How to fix a leaking CVA 4075 please?

Question edited for clarity, add maker, 'make model (what it is)' first 3 words and add magic word.
Question moved to maker category.

These machine need dealer service every 9 to 18 months depending on use. They don't tell you this when you buy them. Your leak is almost certainly worn O-rings in the brew group or the pump.

How do I clear Miele CVA 4075 coffeemaker's Fault 73?

This particular Miele is featured here on Fixya a LOT. These machines need dealer service every 6 to 9 months. They don't tell you this when you buy them! You just pick them up, take them to a service centre and collect it a few days later, fixed and with all new O-rings and seals.

Fault 73.

Miele CVA 4075 is dispensing only 1/2 cup of coffee and I have an excessive amount of water in the waste container. I descale and clean regularly. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks

It needs the brew unit cleaned - descaling is mainly for the heaters. The Brew unit tablet (the one the size of a sweetart) is used to clean just the brew unit. In the maintance menu your will find clean brew unit - follow the bouncing ball

Miele CVA 4066 stopped frothing milk

It sounds like the venturi tube is blocked. Have you ever removed the frothing unit and cleaned in manually? I have a model 4085 and I can reach under where the milk exit tube comes out, twist anti-clockwise (if you are looking up at it) and the whole assembly with the inlet and outlet tube comes out. These pieces can then be individually taken apart and rinsed thoroughly with warm water. If you put it back together (don't forget to twist the connector that locks it back in) and the milk still doesn't froth, take it out again and use a small needle to clear the top of the clear venturi tube which sucks air in to do the frothing. If it is really badly gunged up it might need to be replaced, but mine is 5 years old and still going with regular rinsing. My whole brew unit had to be replaced after 4 years at a cost of about GBP 200, but that's another story.

I have a cva coffee machine it seems like the brew unit is jamed it makes a buzzing noise like it is descaling itself , I have cleaned it and checked the shoot for alignment it makwes the noise and then...

F73 is a bad brew unit. The cva 4070,4075,4060, and 4066 are designed to use espresso beans.
If you use an oily bean such as Starbuck's french roast, it will clog the filter in the top of the brew unit. If you catch it in time, you can just replace the brew unit. If you run the machine with a clogged filter long enough, you have to replace the brew unit and gearbox together.
Sometimes if you work with the tech support department, they will send you a brew unit to install yourself. If you live in an area that has Miele factory support, you may just want to get a service call. It is very important to rinse the brew unit every 24 hours, and to use the cleaning tablets in the trap door( not the descaling tablets) if not, the coffee oils build up and turn into a tar that will clog the brew unit. They run about 300 dollars so they are worth doing the maintenence on.
