DeLonghi Gran Lattissima Coffee Machine Automatic Frother not working

- After some use the automatic milk frother becomes intermittent. There is no fix in the troubleshooting section of the manual. I show you how I fix mine and the machine returns to making beautiful coffee. This fix may apply to other DeLonghi coffee machines with an automatic milk frother.

Hi David. I have been see this viedo a lot of time now. I just have to thank you with great gratitude for your video guide on how to clean. You have learned many important steps and points for this cleaning. However, I myself had a great urge for further investigation because what actually happens when the milk frother mechanism breaks down? I took out my micro tube camera and went further into the channel for rubber with springs and balls. Here I was surprised when I discovered that inside the tube, where milk passes through vibrations and foam is made, there are 3 tiny plastic protrusions. Despite cleaning, the 3 spouts were covered with thick protein waste, belonging to the milk. I paid a visit to the garage and drove on with compressed air made of high thickness, in these two pipe channels that produce skimmed milk. And believe it or not, this was a wonderful cleaning! This took the whole cake, an even bigger layer of milk foam was the result. Thank you for your generous donation for the cleaning, it is with me from now on complete. Take care!
Thank you Tage, I will look at mine the next time I clean it. I have pinned your comment to the top so other can see it. Thanks you for taking the time to comment 👍🙂
@@fixnstuffwithdave8091 Brave :D You welcome :D
Legend! Thank you. I can't believe instructions equivalent to this aren't included with the machine! I've struggled with a number of Nespresso Lattisima machines over the years. Wish I'd seen this a long time ago. FYI I used citric acid (from Mckenzie's powder), which I like as an compact, cheap, non-flavoured source of mild acid.
The areator area and one of the springs were dirty. Cleaned them up and the Coffee machine works like new. Thank You Sir :-)
Great video. Solved the problem for ages. Thanks.
My pleasure ☕
Great video Dave. Managed to fix and i now have the perfect coffee
great video! I tried everything! Descaling and scrubbing! Now I'm going to give it a go with this method!
Thanks Chanta, I hope it works for you.
Thank you! Now I can enjoy some lattes again
Olá, fiz exatamente como explicado no video e funcionou na perfeição. Obrigado pelo video, tempo despendido a gravar e editar.
Thanks, I will try this on my Lattissima pro that is suffering from the same symptoms.
Good luck 👍🙂
Thanks bro
You save my morning cafe ☕️
Thank you very much for the video! Please make a video on how to disassemble the rest of the cappuccinatore
If it breaks down, I will pull it apart, thanks Grisha 🙂
Worked great! Thanks!
Thank you so much🌸
Thank you this worked :)
Great, thank you Stephanie.
Yo it work!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
hi! thx for your video! I am looking for an answer to my problem; on the same nespresso, from one day to the next, the button to froth the milk stopped working (it no longer lights up) while the other 2 did.
Do you know what it can be?
Did you solve it?
Dave my frost is not making the foam , it’s mixing the milk fine it comes out good , any recommendations for that ? My is the latisimma one
It sounds like it is making milk but the foam function is not working. Try doing a descale on the machine and clean out the milk frother fitting like I did in the video. After that, if no steam is coming out of the frother when it should be making foam it might need a service at a repair shop.
Super
Thanks
hey i was looking for something else about this machine but and maybe can you help me .
i have a big problem with the descaling boutton because this one dont wanna tourn off and i already did everything to try to fix it
maybe you have some answers to fix this problem
thx a lot
How often do you do this deep cleaning?
Thanks!
Hi Patricia, only when it plays up. Try soaking it in vinegar to loosen the milk fat, rinse and do a clean with the clean function in the milk jug , you may not have to pull it apart.
I am looking for an answer to my problem; nespresso machine ONE EN500 the coffee + milk button no longer lights up and pressing it does nothing, while the first 2 buttons work correctly.
What could it be?
if I insert the cleaning accessory, nothing happens
Hi Marcello, it sounds like it needs a service, you could try doing a factory reset as per the manual and see if that fixes it.
Ciao Marcello, ho lo stesso problema. Per favore, come hai risolto poi?
I still got steam and little water with no milk
Didn’t work for me
Thanks for the video but doesn't solve the problem at all. The real issue is the frothing regulator. It sits on a piece of rubber which becomes perished over time. I tried all the tricks but was only able to fix this by replacing the milk jug unit. Plugged a new one in and works perfectly now.
Thanks for the feedback Boerboel. The video does fix the common problem of milk buildup in the frother springs. You had a different problem which my video didn't address. Where is the rubber piece you had trouble located, can I assume up where the clean selector knob is inserted?
@@DavidTipton101 Hiya Dave, I followed your steps and indeed, it worked perfectly to clean the injector(?) unit. The vinegar trick was amazing as it got rid of all the gunk. My machine is the DeLonghi Nespresso EN750MB model. Design and concept almost identical to yours, the only difference is your machine has a dual frother system whereas mine is single.
Having thoroughly cleaned the unit, and replacing the spring & ball back inside along with that rubber tube I was surprised that it made absolutely no difference - the spring in mine was gunked up much worse than yours. (Other similar YT videos show the ball going in first, then the spring. I tried both ways but it made zero difference - the inference being that it failed even before it got to the frothing stage where the ball / spring is activated - one can see there isn't enough suction). Not keen on buying a new machine (£450 here in UK) and the only other option was to strip the machine and replace a solenoid valve or some such.
Then I spotted this comment / review on Amazon:
"It's an official replacement part, and exactly the same quality as the one that originally shipped with the machine. Unfortunately, this means it'll work for about a year and fail in the same way - it stops picking up milk from the tank and just spits steam and hot water into your mug. There's a rubbery membrane inside that controls the mixing of milk and steam according to the position of the dial, but over time that degrades and goes stiff from being heated and chilled. Once it's too stiff, it won't suck milk up."
I bought a new milk jug unit (£35) and this worked instantly. When adjusting the frothing dial on the new unit vs the old (3 yrs), you can feel a big difference - the old one feels stiff.
To summarise, there's nothing inaccurate with the advice in your video, its all 100% spot on. But in my case no amount of cleaning worked so one concludes this rubbery membrane issue is the culprit. Hope this helps someone.
i have the same model.. my milk frother wont froth.. it just blinking all the way till all the button blinking orange simultaneously for 10x and automatic shutdown.. do you know the problem?
Hi faddy ashyl, according to the troubleshooting guide in the manual:
"All buttons blink simultaneously for 10 seconds and then machine switches off
automatically."
"Error alarm, machine needs repair. Send appliance to repair or call Nespresso."
You need to get the machine repaired faddy ashyl.
@@DavidTipton101 thank you
