No coffee, water going to the drip tray

I've had my Saeco Royal for almost 10 years and it has been working out fine. All of a sudden, there is no coffee coming out. The grounds end up in the container (dry) and the hot water goes to the drip tray. The machine seems to go through the whole cycle and there are no unusual sounds. There is no water or coffee coming out of the dispensing unit.

Any ideas? The central unit seems to be working fine.

    No this did not resolve the issue.



    I put my brew unit into another Saeco and it worked normally. What I noticed was that the red rubber ring on the water spout that feeds the hot water to the brewing unit seems to be missing. Does anyone know where I can buy this spare part or what size the rubber ring is? Any help would be appreciated.

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.

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.

How to remove drip tray

Hi
Lift up on the front of the drip tray and pull out the front. There are 2 locking pins on the bottom of the drip tray that lock into the machine, that is why you lift up on the front of the drip tray before you pull out.

Water Leaking and not coming out from the nozzel

Thank you thank you!!! This problem has been irking us for months! The people in our company adore the coffee the Saeco Incanto Sirius makes so we just lived with the leak. The fix was such a simple thing, heh.

I used a cable tie to clean out the hole. The hole is very small - a design mistake, I'd say - and when I unclogged it I could see the cable tie coming out and coffee sludge flowing into the drip tray.
