I lost it when you tried to put in the wrong coffeepod. You had me laughing so hard! Congrats on the repair!

I've never laughed so much when he went to put the pod in and it wouldn't fit 🤣. Brilliant stuff as always Steve. A natural entertainer

Top fix Ste, that machine served me well for 11 year's doing a minimum of 2 cups a day. I flushed it once a month and to my knowledge never ran it dry. It just stopped working one morning which left me really miffed. Hope you got some enjoyment from fixing it.

I know that landfill is full off household stuff with a blown thermal fuse. Hair dryers, straighteners, Heated rollers, kettles etc etc. Dont get me started on all the rubbish Dyson makes. Get yourself some heat sink clips for soldering in thermal fuses, you can make your own with crocodile clips and copper tube. I think your channel is amazing and your are my go to for entertainment.

"I've been given some more rubbish to fix" - A great premise for the channel. I love watching Steve save stuff from the trash heap. I wish I knew how to solder so I could stop things from going to landfills.

You can solder thermal fuses. Just dont cut the wires too short and be quick. Done it loads of times. Thanks for the great content!

HOLY CRAP !!! That coffee maker's N O I S Y !!!!! And YES, you are right about the Ristretto : "In the context of coffee, ristretto refers to a short (restricted) shot of espresso, meaning the barista pulls only the first portion of a full-length espresso shot. Ristretto is made with the same Espresso Roast used for full espresso shots, but less hot water is pushed through the grounds."

My wife gave me a confused stare after I started roaring with laughter when you were replacing the first fuse, struggling with fastening and you said *beep*. 😂 I really appreciate the informal attitude on you channel where you actually got me interested in soldering! Keep it up!

I love the TM next to “Shakey Cam”. That cracked me up.

I fixed a Krups Nespresso machine three years ago. I made my own screwdriver for the oval screws by drilling an oval hole in the tip of a bolt :-) Probably my proudest achievement in self-repair. Ordering and replacing the missing part was easy after that, even though it has to withstand 18 bar. Works like a charm again ever since. Got a proper repair toolkit after that, the iFixit one, which has the right bit.

Hi Steve, I feel for you, I went to repair a automatic coffee machine and I can tell you the coffee machine came out second best. 😣😣 But the second was a success thanks to utubers like your self who share there experience and knowledge. 👍👍

Great fix. Although those coffee machine seem more trouble than they are worth. They are beverage equivalent of inkjet printers locking you into a lifetime of buying small, epensive cartridges which only fit their machine.

9:38 that was absolutely hilarious , you know what I'm gonna play it again... lol

Nice fix also thx for taking one for the team i'll add this to the not fixing that list.

I’m surprised the thermal fuse fault wasn’t hiding another issue. I would have expected the unit to survive being activated without water in a more graceful way but perhaps they have been doing some ‘value engineering’. Well done for getting it going again ... or ... sorry to see someone else has fallen for the microscopic quantities of coffee in pods trick again 😀

The buttons are supposed to be "programmed" first time you plug it in you hold the button to your desired volume and it will remember it next time. It will flash 3 times to indicate you programmed it. You could program the small mug to have a big volume and the big mug to have a small volume 😆 it wouldn't make any sense but you can!

😂 nice work, ending was funny!!

man i never laugh so hard learning how people fix things. well done

Great work, Captain Bodge! And nice out of the box thinking! Well, I like coffee from Nespresso, but I rather have coffee from the coffee shops that are all around in my country. Nonetheless, these machines tend to make less mess than other kind. But I diverge, what matters here is that you've nailed it once again! 😊

Thank you Stez for making me laugh for one minute long. Wrong pod :)

That was hell of a strong coffee :) , the shakey cam made me smile.

Most of these seem to make tiny little coffees. We have had 2 by other brands. I usually press 3 times for water , for the one dose of coffee but ours is for loose ground coffee which makes that easier to do.

Fun video Steve, nice crimping solution 👍

My machine is a Krups Citiz, it's quite similar but smaller. I've got it for free from work, because it was tripping the circuit breaker. Those anti-tamper screws were annoying to remove, I threw them out and replaced with regular Philips head screws. On my machine, the issue was a tiny hole that developed in the plastic tube that feeds water to the brew chamber. Every time it brewed coffee, hot water would spray out of this hole, resulting in a short circuit somewhere. And the reason for the hole is that every time the lever is open, the hole rubs on the lever hinge, each time in the same spot. Over time, a hole develops. Replaced the 2 EUR tube with a new one, added put two layers of heat-shrink tubing to give it some more durability. The machine lasted me 5 years so far, but today it's refusing to turn on. Yesterday it was working, and the water tank is full. But still I am guessing it's likely the thermal fuse problem. Going to open it up again to investigate. By the way, the problem with the plastic tube developing a hole via rubbing on the lever hinge, I have suspicions Krups knew about it, I mean it's easy to notice when cycling the lever after taking the machine's covers off. I've found another such machine in the electronics bin at the recycling center, I brought it home since it had the red side panels that I liked. After I disassembled that machine, I noticed that the tube has a hole in the same location. Not sure it's really malicious on Krups part, but their engineers certainly should have noticed this rubbing, so it's suspicious they did nothing to fix that.

Steve love your vids your a braver man than me i would not have put that machine on with out putting a megga tester on the heating element

Ah this brings back memories Brother Steve. An old EX from way back said 'take what I want but.. leave the Coffee machine alone' What happened next! makes me LOL! I peeved her off. I 'Dismantled' it & left little sticky notes with words, I don't wish to repeat 😂🖖👍🏻 I am informed you have a Handsome face, also you have a very nice Mug! I guess that's x3 wins! for You! 😊 The F.M.L made me P.M.S.L!! 🤣🤣 Sorry! for not being around so much, health issues (Not! due to current times/events) I'm yet to be told the results, though I'm not expecting much t.b.h.

😂😂😂 I got a tommee tippee prep machine I'm currently looking at hopefully I have some success with that. This also has no power I will be looking to see if it contains any of them thermal fuses as it looks brand new.

Nice fix Steve - enjoyed the video a lot. Never understood the £ to ml of coffee ratio with Nespresso, lol.

If you had a hangover that noise...wouldn't help lol Great fix 😊

What a nice change from seeing pcs laptop's a game consoles being fixed I think your a first. Keep up the good work😂

u can use a wet tissue and put a couple of wraps on thermal fuse and try to do the soldering as quick as possible

I've worked in IT for over 20 years and bloody printers have always been a pain in the arse, looks like coffee machines are the beverage cousin. Ill stick with a kettle and a jar of Douwe Egberts 👊

We received an Instant Pot for a baby shower and it worked for like 3 months and quit. I was the fuse as well. Replaced it and been working ever since.

Great viewing 😄👍

Are you sure those car connections are rated for the temperatures they will experience? I appreciate cars have a range of temperatures but never looked into them before.

Shakey Cam TM. Or Shakey Steven's Cam TM 😝 I guess liquid dispensing machines are off limits from now then. Awesome video as always, Stez.

My worst pod coffee machine nightmare was when my wife's Keurig quit working and she asked me to fix it. I opened the bottom panel and tens of thousands of dead ants fell out, along with their eggs and young. It was absolutely nasty. I imagine they were cooked to death en masse, but we hadn't seen any ants in the kitchen in months, and they just suddenly appeared in force, in the coffee maker. She did not want me to diagnose the issue (almost surely thermal fuse) after that.

still watching...... 😁😁😁👍

For some one who don't know how well not bad but if you want more coffee press and hold large button while your doing your coffee the let go of the button once you rich3 the amount you want and that it .ps you can set with water only before useing coffee but it rilly don't make much difference

Ohh, oval tamper proof screws. I've come across stainless T.P. bolts protecting the innards of one elevator. I first learned of them rummaging thru printed catalogs (Remember those) of specialist fasteners.

In future you could use the insulated female connector on the wireharness side of the connection. That way when the component is disconnected there is very little risk of touching a live wire.

Great, GREAT video

Never understood the appeal of these machines. My French press makes amazing coffee exactly how i like it. Virtually no packaging waste. Works even in a power outage, zero electronics to go bad and takes up almost no counter space. And to add something else to the list of things to never work on again might I suggest air fryer? Did it and regret it.

I presume you had flashbacks to vinces coffee machine when he tried to solder the thermal fuse :) good plan with the connectors

lol thumbs up just for the reaction at the end, but great fix.

I know what you mean. Printers, coffee machines and….carpet shampooers! Lol. For me, I’ll take them apart once…if I fail I toss it hahah

Show fuse in plug. That you mentioned in beginning. Because I don’t understand. And where can I buy these fuses and thermal fuses?

1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth

Coffee machine manufacturer: How hard do you want us to prevent a repair by the end user? Nespresso: YES

If this is the machine people use to make coffee it is no wonder why everyone in the house wakes up. Folgers, pfft...it's the noise! 🤣

Any kind of electronic coffeemaker is such a pain in the behind. I finally just tell people to throw it away. Get a good metal camp fire pot 😅

Looking at those spade connectors, couldn't you use then and cut the spade bit off to only have the crimp section to use? and then crimp them together? Just a thought, that way you could have used that plastic sheath? would also remove the pastic covering off the spade plug also.

Nice one, 👍 Those connectors on the fuses are not a bad idea but I would remove that red plastic insulation from it because it can't handle the heat. I would insulate it with the original silicone sleeves.

Hi bud well done

any idea about nespresso latissima F411 not turn on ?

You could solder those fuses! Pinch the wire between the soldering joint and fuse with some pliers and they soak up the heat.

Hey Steve, Just recently found your channel and is right up my street as Im a fan of my mate vince as you have mentioned on another video. Im always intrigued to know what is your main job? I'm considering starting up something like this more as a hobby than a source of income but kudos to you I think your channel is gaining some traction. Also fml wrong pods 🙈 haha funny because something I would do

Probably far too late but if you hold the legs of the thermal fuse with a pair of needle nose pliers and solder opposite side of them. They act as a heat sink. I was taught this at high school while soldering led bulbs so maybe it could work here too?

I've had 2 delonghi coffee pod machines and to me they are a waste of money. The pods are bad for the environment and the coffee never really came out hot. So now I just make coffee with a kettle and powdered coffee like a peasant 🤣🤣

Wrong pods..... defo something I would do that, guaranteed. 🤣

there are arcode scanners in these machiens thats why there was a flashing light like the tassimo ones

Good to see you fix something different there Steve i know these coffee machines can not last long from my experience , but good to see attempt to fix this one - Nice 1 mate 👍

Hi Sir, What brand and tipe screwdriver you used?

I got a nespresso ad while watching this...

Excelente vídeo.. Saying that you are using the rong cup

hello babe, i really used to enjoy ur videos nevertheless not lately. none is interested in fixin their espresso machine, blueooth music box etc.. ur bigger than that brother, do not let ur god gifted talent go to waste

Yeah that remember me back in the day. I was making coffee pot for people at work and there was always that darn lady who came and took a cup from when it just started pourring in the pot. I told her to wait, if she was taking just when it's started to brew, she was watering down everyone else coffee but she said her father had a restaurant and was doing it all the time. Just said after that that is father coffee must suck in his restaurant.

I always replace the security screws if I want to keep the device for myself.

automotive crimps have saved me a TON of grief in situations I couldn't solder

"I don't know this, I don't understand that." Quick tip for you, read the instructions! You should know as a repairer that not following instructions is the best way to screw something up. Otherwise, another great video.

Steve I close my eyes and it’s Karl Pilkington fixing a coffee machine...

This is why kettles and spoons were invented. Still, least you have shown me never to get a coffee machine!

Anyone reading know what I may check for a new Kuerig not turning on any longer?

Pleeeeeze make your videos longer you’re funnier than most on and brighter 😊

Just a tip...if you don't have the right screw bit to remove a screw. Just use a metal file to give it some edges, making it no longer round. It might allow you to use a wrench or pair of pliers to remove it. Then replace it with some easy type of screw for future repairs.

You needed to rub it through the cleaning phase. Just run hot water then cold then hot then cold repeat for like 20 minutes and you will see bits hard bits come out

Was just about to say the clue to what type of coffee it is is in the name, 'N'Espresso ;) Nice little fix but I wouldn't want to be working on something like that though :/

'Seveeeeen', as in Len Goodman's 'seveeeeen'?

Poor Nespresso pod. Been overshot. Ristretto is 25ml, Espresso is 40ml, Lungo is 110ml. So that machine looks like it has a Ristretto icon, which is the small cup one and the larger one is the Espresso option. If you choose the wrong option you are over shooting the pod with more water than required, hence the almost clear liquid.

Your funny dude 👍

Krups as in oops! I’m came up with that myself👍

An espresso a day, keeps the, um, when the shoe fits, you must….uh, I don’t know. Nice fix.

It need vinegar or descaler ran through it. Sounds like calcium and lime built up in the water tank/pump.

“That’s not the right one is it” rofl

Bullet on positive spade on negative You wont cross wires

LIDL for pods

It's always the damn thermal fuses...

Coffee pods are an expensive way to enjoy a brew!

0:53 complimenting a coffee maker's backside

Ha ha ha. You are funny and impressive! Good, verry good! :)

Nice fix. Is it meant to be that loud ? Would drive me crazy.

Ristretto is typically a very concentrated form of espresso. The serving is therefore very small. It usually has a red hue when made from a proper espresso machine.

Cuteness!!!

Take those automotive crimp connectors and give them to your worst enemy. They suck.

We call that plastic sheath spaghetti.

Funniest Video ever!! 😃🤣

Ristretto is a small espresso, so more concentrated than espresso for the bitter lovers out there.

I’ve got a solution to set the exact quantity of water you want for each button..if you don't figure out how yet 😉

Could sort the camera angles with a mirror.

That machine seems so incredibly loud… 👀 I’m also unconvinced most of those types of coffee machines are mold free since cleaning is challenging.
