Nespresso coffee machine repair? Now that's my cup of tea... 😁

When you were leaning in to look for the pump, I leaned in closer to my monitor to look for it too. Hahaha. Talk about an engaging video.

I've just been given a broken one of these! I haven't had time to look at it yet, but it's very possibly going to be the same fault! 😊

After my machine popped out a day as well, I took your vid as an instruction. I replaced the thermal fuse of my machine. Recognized a broken SMD on the plating later. Ordered a new platine (called electronic board), which enabled to switch the machine on again. But the pump refrained to work. Lastly I ordered a new pump as well. Applied it today: Eureka! The machine works again. All in all, almost as expensive as buying a second-hand one, but I learned a hell of stuff... You made that possible. Thanks a million, Vince!

I want you to know that thanks to your video I have just fixed my little (sentimental one) nespresso coffee machine. Thank you!!! ♥

Keep going strong Vincent! Your channel proves that anybody could try to fix things Your what inspired me to repair things in my house

Was screaming Nooooo! at you when you said "solder it in". The clue is in the word 'thermal'. 🤣 Still, good learning experience and you had a pack of 5 fuses to play with.

That first thing you took out is a flow meter, that is how it senses how much coffee to pour. It measures how much water went through by spinning the flow blades with a magnet near the hal effect sensor and by counting how many pulses it senses.

Shout out to MMV Massive and patreon supporters for making these great videos possible!

I know I'm an "old bugga" but coffee machine that has a factory reset! What an age we live in! Interesting fix, Keep up the great videos Vince

I have one of these, makes 3 to 4 lungos a day. Interesting to see how it works and and if it should fail I am confident to take it apart now. Great vid, love the variation in items on your channel.

These My Mate VINCE videos are always so inspiring. Well done again! Really crazy that a component worth few quids can make a device worth hundreds of pounds/euros completely useless. From an ecological standpoint this is exactly what should be done more in this world we live in.

Wait til this video goes public Vince… You’ll be bombarded with coffee advice, I’m sure. I went with the Tassimo system… well, it was given to me. Highlight of lockdown has been working from my home office and having the little machine and a selection of pods behind me. Definitely one of the best gadgets in my house.

Great. Mine doesn't have the same problem, it just pumps out more water into the drip tray than coffee, so I wanted to open it up to see what's what. This video is exactly what I needed to have the confidence to dismantle (and, of course, reassemble) it. Thanks a lot

Thank you Vince! your video is one of the only ones showing the whole process! It really helped me fix my EN85.b essenza mini, even though it's not exactly like yours.

You just saved another coffee machine. Excellent description and an easy fix. But they should have created better connectors for the fuse. Also did the wrap around and solder trick with the extra tip to cool the fuse. That deserves a 🍺 😉👍🏻 Keep up the good work

Excellent! Very enjoyable! Nightmare those darn plastic clips!!!

Good find with the thermal fuse Vince! Also, welcome to the fidgety hand club 😂. The vibratory pump (solenoid valve) are common in a lot of consumer goods such as irons, coffee makers, steamers, and carpet cleaners. I did a video last year (November) on a Hoover carpet cleaner. If interested I tried to explain (to the best of my ability) how those pumps work. Yours is a wee bit different, but should be similar in function.

Hi Vince. Just wanted to say 'Hi' and let you know that I've been watching your videos for just over a year now. They're truly fascinating and I've learned a lot. You've inspired me to do my own repairs around the house. So far, I've managed to fix an Echo Dot (faulty speaker connection) and soldered a new jack onto a set of DJ headphones. This week I made my first 'faulty', eBay purchase and bought a Stanton RM3s Mixer. Description is 'possible spill damage & no power'. Cannot wait to get involved. All the best Vince. Keep up the great work - Terry.

I bought one of these about a year ago and wondered how it works. Now I know! I don't use it much for the same reasons as you've discovered, the capsules are quite expensive.

Congratulations! Thanks to your tutorial step by step, I repaired my Nespresso machine. My best compliments, and THANK YOU.

Love the fact you are not really a coffee drinker and you just got it to have a tinker - hopefully the great tasting coffee will win you over

Great work Vince! Always love when a small thing breaks and you can fix it with 5 quid part. Cheers for fixing this machine and speading the word.

I got given a tassimo machine 3 years ago for Xmas, its been used everyday one of the best things ever. Didnt drink coffee at all until I got that. Now it my go to hot drink.

Hi Vince, was busy fixing same, your clip was helpful, I noted that yours was heating up but no working pump. I'd replaced the green printed electronic plate, sadly, it wasn't the cause. I almost bought a new pump and a few fuses but thought, let me test the pump by connecting it directly so not through the machine, but with two wires. It turned out to be working. I then realised since my thermoblock did not get hot at all, that it must be broken. Got a new one, and while installing it, I discovered the old one was hard to remove as the thick rubbers (two) one either side of the thermo, had melted to the thermo, I had to drill out the largest hole, and finally got the back cover off, so from that I knew the thermo had become very, very hot. Connected new thermo, tested, and machine worked. Conclusions: 1) if the thermo works but the pump does not, it is highly likely that the pump is damaged in some way, like your one was, with blown fuse 2) If the thermo does not work ''the pump will not switch on'', therefore one should never assume the pump is broken if it has not been tested separately. I bought a few secondhand machines (10 euros each), different ones, online, and was able to exchange some of the parts. Nespresso Essenza Mini uses the same thermoblock and pump as the KRUPS XN110B and other models too.

God i wish i had a name like Max Rockatansky that is brilliant !!!!!! ...well done again Vince , your getting good at this ain't ya ;)

"Hopefully it will come out brown" - Hehehe... The chuckles are real.

Vinces sense of humor is priceless now we ate gonna be checking your hands in the future to see about rhat coffee addiction lol and ya this stuff is expensive my wife loves her coffee machines this is why I love Amazon well another good video

Hey Vince, after fixing a DeLonghi Magnifica, I can name myself a coffee machine noob XD The white thing you mistook for the pump earlier in the video is a flow meter. You could have opened it by twisting, but there is just a wheel inside with a magnet on top somewhere. You see, the machine has to know how much water has flowed through, so it can stop itself after a given amount of water. This is done by this little flow meter. And yes, it works inductive. Very nice video, I always enjoy watching them. Greetings, Andreas.

I have fixed a few of these , what I did to fix them was to put a rubber washer around the pump intake to make a proper seal ...then you need a squirt bottle or empty water bottle (whatever fits better) with your bottle filled with (distilled water) place over the pump intake with the rubber washer seal.....then turn on the machine and select and start your shot whilst squeeze your bottle into the pump intake at the same time. Once the machine starts taking on water stop , refill water bin and run a few shots to test.

Mine had just broke. It was very helpful to see this clip. When you know what to look for it was easy to check what happened to the one I have. And bingoooo… To check termal fuse there is no need to disassemble everything. Top and back is enough for replacing the fuse eigher. Great video. Thank you.

Thanks vince been waiting for a coffee maker one!

great video, helped me repair my machine. The thermal fuse was also blown, never would have thought about it without you :)

Oh nice, great wee machine. i used to work in their customer service a few years ago. Definitely blew the TF running it with no water. Yes pods can be very wasteful but if you buy from them direct they give you recycle bags for the used pods and they recycle them . hope you keep the machine ,its one of the better models

Thanks a bunch! Fixed a machine that had had the same problem for a cost of less than 1€ :)

its always great to be able to get/give yourself a treat out of the appliance you just fixed! Me last summer when I restored a microwave and got to cook up a nice meal with it after all my hard work to test it out. So satisfying and shows it doesnt have to be a throwaway society afterall!

These machines seem to all go bad in some way. Great job diagnosing and fixing this electrical issue.

Love that the bugle player has been sacked but got to admit I missed the musical tone. Job centre for him then! Another great video Vince 👍 thank you for providing so much entertainment to me and many others

I had one with a similar problem(water leaking from the bottom) that I fixed by just moving a tube a little tighter, and only yesterday ended up selling it

Nice. Just for ref, anything subject to vibration gets crimped electrical joints and not soldered. This mainly why that thermal fuse was crimped in. It is also why car electrics use crimp connectors, as solder joints break with vibration. A good crimp or wire wrap connection is just as good as soldering believe it or not.

even i feel satisfied hearing the vibration wow you such an incredible troubleshooter.

Wow, great job 👍 fixing that mini coffee machine.

Very good tutorial, i had an issue with mine, same model, as I have very hard water it was obstructed is several positions. unplugging every tube and checking all the components as shown in the video is a useful trick. Using a declacification kit is always a plus, if not having one of thouse around, a good soak in vinegar overnight of the parts does the trick(specially with the flowmeter and the filter dish) 10/10

Finally a device that I own that I can fix if it breaks! Thanks Vince!

I had one of these with the same issue. It was such a ball ache to get apart I threw it in the bin. I've never seen such an unrepairable device in my entire life.

Brilliant! I had exactly the same fault in my machine! Fixed with your help!

I prefer my Bialetti Moka pot for coffee than these machines but as far as fixes go that one hit the spot 👍🏻

Ha, is that the new knucleberry Nespresso signature flavor? :-) Awesome fix my friend, lovely video.

Can't wait for the next coffee break fix.

Bro when I was 6 I would watch your controllers on the switch video I just found your channel again

Great fix vince surely was an interesting one as a coffee lover and loving to repair electronics I truly enjoyed this video I never knew about a thermal fuse so this was a great video keep up the amazing work

Thanks for the superb explanation! I managed to exchange the thermal fuse and it works again.

If you buy the Nespreso pods there full 100% recyclable here in Australia fun fact for you Vince I bought that exact mechean and love it

u can actually buy a heat shunt to help dissipate the heat on amazon but expensive prices for what they are , the best types are made of aluminium .. its a kind of aluminium crocodile clip.but depending on how temp sensitive your item your soldering is you can use a bare crocodile clip... nice fix keep up the good work and enjoying your expensive coffee

The motor is open is probably the thermal fuse is broken/open. Most household machine had a thermal fuse to protect against heat and fire. That thing looking like a capacitor is the thermal fuse. If it's open then you need to replace it.

Great job vince👍 Why would they make the thermal fuse cut off the pump with the cooling water, instead of the actual heater that just keeps getting hotter and hotter. I've never seen a Coffeemachine not having safety in the heating element.

Made the same mistake when i was putting some diy clock kit together that had temp sensor... I was like "why it's only twisted there" so i soldered it (and i wasn't even fast about it). Nice to see simmilar mistakes :-)

Oh look at that. It's like Guinness! Wicked comment mate

Hello I have almost the same machine And the clip thing you were struggling with there is a second one which was really easy to remove But i have forgot where it should go when i tried to re assemble the machine. 😅

You didn't have to disassemble that pump, but I am really grateful you did.

Haha. You soldered the thermal fuses. Very funny.

Lets celebrate the fix over a nice hot tea

There are now solid state temperature switch which can act like a thermal fuse except that when the temperature goes back to normal, continuity is re-established. With a thermal fuse, once temperature exceeds the specs, continuity is cut off and one has to replace it. I had an old rice cooker which "eats" thermal fuses until I replaced it with a temperature switch. They are about the same size.

I had this problem so much with my Tassimo - I just ran the cleaning program with a decalcifier tablet in it and it fixed it every time 😂🙏

Nice video again bud, these thermal fuses fail quite a bit, its the same reason why alot of rice cookers fail. A very simple fix for the rice cooker too if you know what to look for.

Microwave half a cup of milk and add coffee hey presto enjoy .cheers mate from Australia

Don't like coffee. Don't like to waste money. So your near heart attack due to prices and finishing the drink even though it was cold was exactly what I would have done!! Love it.

Good video vince. I have one of these and if it ever stops running I'll know why. I was surprised you didn't recognise that as a fuse at first sight, I would have thought you'd be able to spot a fuse a mile off! I suppose they do come in various shapes/sizes. You'll usually find these kind of thermal fuses around simple heating elements though., its a cheap way to do thermal protection without needing sensors. Shame as you say though, many of these have likely ended up in landfill all because of a little fuse! P.s I would have done the exact same thing soldering the fuse 😂 good job you bought spares!

Yeah, that white thing you blew in is a flow sensor… and when crimping/clamping the metals fuse together which is why you had issues removing the fuse.

Great repair taking much thought. Really needed a cup of coffee half way thru. Hmm you now can.👍

I remember roughly 20 years ago Guinness finally came across the Atlantic to the United States there was big fanfare on TV how wonderful Guinness is with American news reporters going to English taverns and pubs who sold guinness asking brits how great guinness was and nothing but praise. My dad who’d been to Britain warned me that Guinness was terrible and how men would force a smile while drinking it making a sour face. I tried it and promptly poured it into the yard where the grass turned yellow and died. Note that Guinness has really taken off in the US since and many Americans love it. I myself do like guinness after I’ve already become drunk it goes down like water but does leave a nice taste on the drunken tongue. I mentioned this because I was thinking the same thing about the stout bitter beer as the first cup of coffee and you mentioned it.

Thank you for the video. You saved my coffee machine.

This is a fantastic video! Still trying to figure out how to unclip the 4 inside clips 🤦🏻‍♀️

I love my coffee and this makes me happy and it's very satisfying to see it working pretty much perfect good work with this one Vince you did a great job with it another massive thumbs up from me.

This is a thermal fuse attached to the pump so the pump does not overheat!!! Its pretty much useless as the coffe maker controller wont run it for much time! Though for security reasona they always put them on these kind of pumps! I had to repair a clients car hoover with one of those. These thermal fuses are really easy to get hold on for pennies! Cheerio! ^_^

Thank you it was so useful. But for changing that thermal fuse you don’t have to open everything. I just fixed mine

I have this machine... when the water tank is empty, if you press the start button, it is starting working with no water, so maybe this seqeunce can burn the thermal fuse. There is nothing to warn you about the lever of water, only the emtpy tank... lol.

I’m glad you did this so I don’t have to! Still not sure why mine isn’t working but I’m not as mechanically clever as you are!

Восхищаюсь такими людьми. Ни фига не знают, а лезут. Элементарного разъема с пружинкой на шланге не рассоединить (подобных полно в авто, например), назвать термопредохранитель "пусковым конденсатором" в начале? Хорошо, потом хоть разобрался. Ради интереса полез зачем-то в механику и мог сломать. Если воды внутри не было, то он и сгорел, элементарно. Вот проверочный ход с предохранителем хорош. При пайке надо было плотно держать ножку плоскогубцами для отвода тепла - это одно из правил пайки навесных элементов, я узнал это в 14 лет. Спасибо, что показал разборку. Для тебя это сложно? На столе, с освещением в тепле - это сложно?

Thank you, I was able to fix my machine!

These pumps are fairily ingenious. They work like a classic "ding-dong" door bell. A electro-magnetic coil gets active because of electricity applied to it. It then pushes the metal cylinder away. The spring pushes it back. So you have a forth and back swing which allows to pump the water.

Hi vince it's just like mine if you hold the buttons down during filling small or large you should be able to set the level of water that flows through release button when it's at the level you want it. Awesome video at least I will know what to do if mine brakes.

Muchas gracias amigo. La arreglé!!!! Un abrazo desde Chile

Ah the coffee porn at the end. Now I'm dying for a cup. :D

Nice repair, you could use some needle nose pliers on the leads to draw away the heat while soldering the thermal fuse, Thermal fuses has a life span the repeated cycling kills the fuse after sometime

99 percent of the thermal fuses i have worked with, are all crimped, and never soldered as solder can melt and drip onto other components or circuit board and short out ... maybe not in your case but certainly when dealing with bare electrical heating elements .. so do bare this in mind in the future ... nice one vince ...

Thank you, very useful to put it back.

You spend ages trying to get into it. You have to take it apart slowly and carefully incase you ruin it. Then its all so complicated once you get inside and see all the things you are familiar with but they don't seem to fit together like you are used to, give it a good fiddle, blow in some holes, suck in other places, work out the best way to get your movement detected, then when you think you are done work out how to get it all back together give it a good run and you end up with a YEEEESSSSSSSS. Reminds me of something cant think what ;-)

Hello, I know its a lot to ask but is there a possibility that you do another video on this machine but on how to remove the front nozzle to remove coffee particle stuck? Thanks in advance. I am trying at the moment your video is very helping

I stand in solidarity with the Bugle Union Local 778. I tend to have your videos on in the background and when I heard the shoutout to the MMV massive without the sound I looked up and the writing totally got a laugh :-)

Great job Vince

Thanks mate, this is a very helpful video. I’m about to pull ours apart.

I have LOR capsules and I love it. I pay abou R$1,35 per capsule. Which is around £0.18 for a decent espresso. If I go to a coffee shop I pay three times as much for a crappy one.

The thermal fuse mistake i did it myself aswell 🤣🤣 i cramped connectors on the ends and was able to fit it on the broken ends.

Good work. Forget your fail with soldering.I would make the same fail.

Great fix for a really nice little coffee machine, excellent repair.

good job Vince, you buy that coffee in the store its cheaper then gong to Starbucks and waiting in line

Vince don't forget about fixing the Popeye watch you showed us at the end of the Snoopy watch fixing video.

30:24 imagining Vince trying to micro solder after consuming 3 pods 👋👋👋😂
