Hi Simon mine does the screeching sound too but at the moment I can't get the infuser (the part that moves up and down inside the door) to go anywhere. It's stuck in the down position so it kicked the door open and now I can' t close the door or move the infuser. :( I miss my coffee so much. SO glad yours is behaving.

For the future it's worth to inspect o-rings inside that upper piston. I had problems with mine magnifica and the problem was in o-rings that falls apart... No coffe/water in cofee waste container/coffe throwed inside coffe machine is always caused by upper piston or o-rings showed on the video...

Never got round to it! Definitely this time! 😆

I have my machine taken apart and need to remove the support piece but don't know what kind of tool to get it out with. It looks like a screwdriver with different head.

@@raytalley1 it’s called ‘torx’ and he mentioned ‘25’ and I confirm it’s 25 torx bit you need to unscrew the infuser support.

i know im randomly asking but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!

@Joshua Owen It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out!

@Moses Magnus happy to help xD

Is your grinder on too fine a setting? Sounds like it could need Turning to a slightly courser setting

The first drips of coffee are due to the pre-infusion stage of this machine. The machine sends a small amount of water to moisten the coffee grounds in order to enhance extraction when the main infusion happens. If the grounds are too course, it's perfectly normal for the pre infusion water to rush through them resulting in your observed first water drops. To stop this from happening, you need to use a finer grind setting and this will also improve your espresso. How to set up the optimum grind setting: First, increase the dosage (aroma) to maximum. You should turn the grind setting wheel ONLY when grinding starts. For that, you need to push one of the beverages button and immediately turn ONLY ONE setting towards the finer grinding. I use to calibrate the machine a single espresso in the maximum dosage. Let the first espresso be made. Let a second one in that same setting be made. Make a third one. At this point the machine calculated the optimum dosage in that setting FOR that particular coffee bean. Evaluate the results. If the espresso still comes out too quickly and lacks body, do the same process for the next fine grinder setting and so on untill you find your desired espresso character. Usually, I get the best results between the number 2 or 3 settings on the grinder. But to get here to need to make at least 3 espressos in the same setting in order for the machine to calculate optimum dosage in EACH grind setting. When you find a grind setting that your happy with, you can now maintain maximum dosage or set it to an amount that you like.

Did you remove the brew unit, when it was turned off? on the machine , not the power point.

Did you put lubricant in the O rings?

I lubricated the O-rings the first time, after three restarts it stoped doing that sound and the problem solved itself. Thank you for your response.

Rob - thanks you your comment, I was able to fix mine. The piston housing was stuck at the top and not in correct position. I took the bottom of, 6 screws and was able to bring the piston housing back does using a 17mm socket. I played with up and down to find the right spot for it to be in position, solid triangle went away and coffee was resumed. I need to replaced the rings after seeing this video though.

Hi, me again. Managed to keep the machine going without opening like you suggested. But now it kept blinking. Can you explain in detail how to solve? I took off the cover and I think I see the microswitch but not sure where to apply the 17 mm socket I see the small cam touching the microswitch next to the motor. Switch seems to work fine. I hear it clicking when I touch it. What’s exactly triggering the alarm?

There’s quite some play on the nut on the spindle. Could this be the main cause?

DeLonghi ECAM series they are compact make a good espresso and do not break. As long as they are maintained regularly.

Hi Francis, I have the same problem - have you found any solution yet? I'm going crazy, since I can't find any info about it. Cheers.

@@milenstoitsev6676 Just in case you see this, have a long serving Magnifica that I will now be doing all of this shown here. Main issue on mine is that the steamer stops after only a few seconds when the knob is turned, any ideas what the issue might be? Any expert advice really appreciated, thanks. Love your videos!

You can, and it won't and you can use plain old spirit vinegar - that's what's in the delonghi 'official' descaler!
