Our experts have seen these common problems while repairing coffee machines:
Clogged or Dirty Brew Head: Over time, the brew head, which is responsible for delivering water to the coffee grounds, can become clogged or dirty. This can result in poor water flow, uneven extraction, or weak coffee. Regular cleaning and descaling can help prevent this issue.
Poor Water Flow or Pressure: Insufficient water flow or low pressure can lead to weak or under-extracted coffee. This can be caused by clogged filters, mineral deposits, or issues with the water pump. Regular maintenance and cleaning, including descaling, can help maintain optimal water flow and pressure.
Leaking or Dripping: Leaks or drips can occur from various parts of the coffee machine, such as the portafilter, steam wand, or water reservoir. This can be due to worn-out gaskets, loose connections, or damaged components. Replacing faulty gaskets or tightening connections can often resolve this issue.
Steam or Hot Water Issues: Problems with the steam wand or hot water dispenser can include insufficient steam or water flow, inconsistent temperature, or no steam/water at all. These issues can be caused by clogs, faulty valves, or problems with the heating element. Cleaning, descaling, and checking for proper valve operation can help address these problems.
Grinder Issues: For coffee machines with built-in grinders, grinder problems can include inconsistent grind size, grinder jams, or excessive noise during grinding. These issues can stem from dull burrs, improper adjustment, or foreign objects in the grinder. Regular cleaning and maintenance, as well as proper adjustment, can help alleviate these problems.
Error Messages or Malfunctions: Coffee machines with electronic controls or display screens may display error messages or experience malfunctions. These can be due to various factors, including sensor issues, electrical problems, or programming errors. Checking the user manual, resetting the machine, or contacting customer support may be necessary to troubleshoot these problems.

One factor that determines whether it can be repaired or not is the expertise of the technician. NWAR technicians are skilled and trained to repair coffee machines and other household appliances, regardless of the brand and model of your product.
With that said, here’s some advice we give our clients when deciding whether to repair a coffee maker:
Cost of Repairs: Evaluate the cost of repairs compared to the value of the coffee maker. If the repair costs are less than 50% of the cost of purchasing a new machine, it may be worthwhile to proceed with the repairs.
If you’re not sure about the cost of repairs, give us a call. One of our technicians will give you a free quote over the phone.
Age and Condition: If your coffee machine is relatively new, has been well-maintained, and has not had significant issues in the past, repairing it can extend its lifespan and save you money compared to buying a new one.
Availability of Parts: Check if the necessary replacement parts are readily available for your specific coffee maker model. If the parts are difficult to find or expensive, it may impact the feasibility of the repair.
DIY Repairs: Some coffee maker issues can be addressed through simple troubleshooting, such as cleaning or replacing a clogged filter or gasket.
However, more complex issues, electrical problems, or repairs involving specialized components may require the expertise of a professional technician.
Warranty Considerations: If your coffee maker is still under warranty, the repairs may be covered. Or the manufacturer may offer a discounted.
Yet, not all coffee maker problems can be easily repaired. In some cases, it may be more practical to replace the machine, especially if it is older or has a history of multiple issues.
One of our professional technicians can help you figure out what’s best for you – repairing your old coffee machine or purchasing a new one.
We’ve seen that a coffee machine can stop working due to various reasons, including:
Power Issues: Power problems, such as a tripped circuit breaker or a loose power cord connection, can cause the coffee machine to stop working. Ensure that the machine is properly plugged in and check the power source to rule out any electrical issues.
Water Supply Problems: If the coffee machine requires a direct water connection, issues with the water supply can prevent it from working. Check the water line for any obstructions or kinks and ensure that the water supply is turned on and provides adequate water pressure.
Clogged or Dirty Components: Accumulation of coffee grounds, mineral deposits, or other debris can clog various components of the coffee machine, such as the brew head, filters, valves, or tubes. This can impede the flow of water and disrupt the brewing process, leading to the machine not working properly.
Malfunctioning Heating Element: The heating element in a coffee machine is responsible for heating the water to the appropriate brewing temperature. If the heating element is faulty or burned out, it can result in the machine not working or not heating the water adequately.
Sensor or Control Issues: Coffee machines with electronic controls or sensors can experience malfunctions or errors that prevent them from operating correctly. Issues with sensors, control boards, or programming errors can lead to the machine not functioning as intended.
Worn-out or Broken Components: Over time, certain components of the coffee machine, such as gaskets, seals, valves, or switches, can wear out or break. This can cause leaks, inconsistent water flow, or other operational issues that result in the machine not working properly.
Scale Build-up: In areas with hard water, mineral scales can build up inside the coffee machine over time. This can affect the performance of various components, including the heating element, water lines, and valves, leading to the machine not working efficiently or at all.
These are just some of the possible causes for a coffee machine to stop working. If you encounter these issues, consult the user manual for troubleshooting steps specific to your machine.
But if the problem persists or you’re unsure about the cause, contact us. One of our qualified technicians can help diagnose and resolve the issue.
To unblock a coffee maker, it’s best to first check your user’s manual. It will likely have instructions to unblock your specific machine.
Alternatively, you can follow these general steps:
Turn off the machine: Make sure the coffee maker is turned off and unplugged to ensure safety while working on it.
Empty the water reservoir: Remove any remaining water from the reservoir. Discard any coffee grounds or filters that may be present.
Clean the brew head: The brew head is a common area where clogs can occur. Use a small brush or toothbrush to gently scrub the brew head and remove any coffee residue or blockages. Be careful not to damage any delicate components.
Check the water filter and tube: If your coffee maker has a water filter or a water tube, inspect them for any clogs or debris. Clean or replace the water filter if necessary, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Use a pipe cleaner or a small brush to clear any blockages in the water tube.
Descale the machine: If mineral deposits or scale buildup are causing the blockage, descaling the coffee maker can help. Mix a descaling solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions and run it through the machine as directed. This helps dissolve and remove any mineral buildup that may be causing the blockage.
Clean the spray head: Some coffee makers have a spray head that distributes water over the coffee grounds. If the spray head is clogged, remove it (if possible) and clean it thoroughly with a brush or toothpick to clear any obstructions.
Run water through the machine: After cleaning and clearing any blockages, run clean water through the coffee maker a few times to flush out any remaining debris.
Reassemble and test: Once everything is clean and clear, reassemble the coffee maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fill the water reservoir with fresh water and test the machine to ensure it’s working properly.
Regular cleaning, descaling, and maintenance can help prevent blockages and ensure the optimal performance of your coffee machine.
