Thank you so much for this!! I watched so many useless videos trying to figure out what was wrong with my machine before I found yours! How on Earth you figured out this black magic is beyond me - but I am very THANKFUL you did!!!! Genius!
You’ve saved my machine instantly !!! And just for anyone else reading like me who doesn’t have magnets around… the bottom of your old juul is very magnetic… stronger than my fridge magnet i place the juul against the disc and then back of the machine and it cleared straight away!!!
I know this is over 3 years old but,OMG.I hadn't used my tassimo in a few months because I finally found the pods at my local Target.When i turned it on i got the red light,I figured the pump went,but I decided to look on TH-cam and see if there was an easy fix.Your video was the first one that popped up.I tried it and it WORKED! I did it a little differently though,I just attached a very thin but strong magnet to the floating magnet and. Voila! Thank you so much.
Thank you sir. Saved me a lot of stress and money replacing a perfectly fine machine. I just taped a magnet to the back of the tassimo thin enough that the water reservoir still slides in. I’m hoping this may re-magnetise the original magnet too being in close proximity.
I've almost took my Tassimo apart to troubleshoot this... Thanks for saving my time. TIP: you can find tiny cylindrical earth magnets at Staples/Home Depot/Lee Valley/etc. that you can incorporate inside the original floater. Just buy the smallest, drill a hole into the floater, put some glue and insert the earth magnet and you're good to go.
Thank you! I was able to use a magnet for my refrigerator that I in plastic. I put part of the plastic bag underneath it to hold it up and it worked like a charm. So happy my machine didn't end up in a landfill.
Thanks so much for putting this video out on TH-cam!! I'm on my 2nd Tassimo machine. Had that problem with the 1st one and then a friend gave me a new one as a gift! I now know exactly what to do to "fix" my machine - I'll likely remagnetize the original magnet just to keep things simple! I use a French press most of the time, but use the Tassimo on occasion.
Thank you so much! I haven't used my machine in a month or so...have been dreading either having to get a new one, or pay for expensive repairs. So grateful!
Awesome work, you saved my Tassimo, I just happened to have magnets that fit the space perfectly and now up an running again, many thanks for the hack!
Genius. I had a magnet that wouldn’t float so I rubbed on the magnet that came with the machine and voila the magnet started working again I think we learned that in school. Thank you so much for your help!
Man i was arguing with my gf and she kept saying this was the "clean" light and I kept saying it was the water level light, and I found your video and managed to fix her Tassimo ! Thanks mate !
Your solution works perfectly. In fact what I did is take the puck shaped floating magnet out totally, and then used a very small magnet (from a tool socket) and merely taped it to the back of the inside of the main unit. I positioned it until the light when out and then shipping taped it in place. Works perfectly.
Hi. Thanks for this post. Saved me chucking a fully working machine thinking it was broken. I used a small circular hobby magnet on the back of the original failing one and due to the design of the housing it fitted in the gap and allowed it to still move and float. Thanks for the inspiration.
Exactly my problem, exactly the fix needed! If the string (excuse me, floss) doesn't work, you can also simply glue the magnet in place with a bit of silicone glue. Works wonders. Thanks for the great vid!
I tried your hack but I put the magnet in a baggie because I did not know if the magnet was food safe. I placed the magnet at the correct height in the container and shut the black bar into the baggie. It worked!! Thanks,
I had the same concern and end up buying a k-cup water tank with the same size magnet to put in. It costed about 27 bucks though still cheaper than a new Tassimo one and the company won’t sell magnet only.
Thanks, that's a brilliant solution. I got a small flat ferro magnet that I taped at the side of the water tank, centered at the black floatl; the blinking red light went away for good. Just have to watch now that there is always water inside.
Thank you so much for saving my Tassimo! I thought it was dead for sure! A little remagnetization with a refrigerator magnet and we revived it. Thank you!!
Thanks man! I didn't have a magnet with holes to thread anything like dental floss through to fasten it, so I just left the original useless magnet at the bottom and positioned the new one above it, the old one isn't so useless now since it keeps it in place.Cheers!
Thank you!!! You saved me!!! I bought the red one of these a year back at a used store for a couple bucks. It had the same problem. Possibly part of why the owner gave it up. Im thinking I can replace that magnet on ebay but now I didnt have to spend money to find out if it works... or wait for tasty coffees.
Thanks so much. My water supply module tipped over and the magnet and cover fell out. Found them a couple of hours later and was about to throw them out! All fixed......
In the meanwhile, all you have to do is push the magnet against the back of the machine using an utensil and it will work as long it’s filled with water.
Wonderful, I added a very slim magnet between the back of the machine & the water tank. It stopped detecting the empty tank which is fine with me. I didn't insert anything inside the water tank.
Oohhh my..been fighting with my coffee machine for days and after watching this video, i took magnet out and placed a smaller office board magnet in the middle of that one and Booosh..it stayed and works..Gr8 video and thank you for saving me replacing whole unit as my partner was already looking to buy another and i kept refusing.😂😂🙈😂
wow you saved my morning (+ me turning into an angry monster) THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!! That was super easy to follow, i just took a magnet from a fridge magnet and balanced it on top of the machine's one in the tank, and it worked perfectly :D
That may have been your first TH-cam but i am very grateful you made it. Do you have to worry about the positive or negative of the magnet? Our tassimo has been in storage and is about 8 years old the same as yours. We will have to find that small magnet 😊
The company really should sell the magnet by itself instead of the whole water tank as better customer care. But given this reference, I got a cheaper one from k-cup tank with magnet that’s slightly low priced on Amazon and took the same size and better quality magnet out of that to use. It’s better quality as I realized the old one had a small button that easily could separate once poked out and the inside looked deteriorated. The new one is completely sealed in with plastic or silicon whatever material is but I trust it’s food grade safe.
thank you sooooo much, easy peezy when you know how!! The un dissolved descaling mix had got into the magnet area & stopped it from moving, so flushed it out & hey presto away we went !!!!
finnaly find out how to "repair" it ...thx alot, save me from buying new one, i stii have that original magnet but he didint stand there anymore, thx alot❤🎉
great finally the "water detect" mechanism is based on the tab.... the missing peace of the puzzle on my machine because I tried to clean it up and removed the tab. "no water" led started and never returned..... thanks!
Don’t know what’s up with mine. Magnet is floating up and down with the water level. Have no circle in the back but could be as I’m in U.K. and euro models maybe don’t have that. But I think mine is busted.

You are an angel!!!I fixed it the way you showed...removed the magnet from my wardrobe and put it in the machine.And it worked!!!thank you so much!!
You saved me! I popped a magnet in and now my Tassimo works again! Very inspiring and much appreciated!
I've almost took my Tassimo apart to troubleshoot this...

What would we do without TH-cam and helpful people like yourself?
Thank you for saving my morning coffee hit 👍

Brilliant! Thank you. Just fixed this for my mom. It's been broken for 9 months and she hates throwing things away. Appreciate the hack!

I LOVE THIS SOLUTION. THANK YOU SO MUCH.😊
Thanks for this. Fixed my machine this morning. Would not have figured this was the issue

Thanks so much for this! You can also re-magnetize it by dragging a strong magnet across it several times.
This is the BEST problem solver; consider remagnatzing the magnetic float.
Thanks man! I didn't have a magnet with holes to thread anything like dental floss through to fasten it, so I just left the original useless magnet at the bottom and positioned the new one above it, the old one isn't so useless now since it keeps it in place.Cheers!
Thanks so much. It worked for me too
Great video! Mine stopped working about a year ago and I just saw your video. Thanks from Alberta! :)
It worked! I actually remagnified the magnet and it worked.. I was trying to dry everything.. totally mised the magnet thing yayyy Thank you!!
Thanks for the info. You just saved us a new coffee maker as this was exactly the issue with ours.
Great tip, thanks. I have a tip for you too. Hold your phone horizontal before you start recording your video. Makes for better videos for TH-cam.
Genius! Saved me buying a new machine. Thank you. I used a button fridge magnet.
WHAT!!! Thank you so much! I used another magnet to get mine to move and voila! The light is now off! Cheers!
Wow ! So simple. Thanks for finding this ! I dismantled a fridge magnet and fixed my Tassimo for about 1$.
Thanks we used a really strong magnet and re magnetised the magnet/sensor and it's working again cheers
Thank you!!! You saved me!!! I bought the red one of these a year back at a used store for a couple bucks. It had the same problem. Possibly part of why the owner gave it up. Im thinking I can replace that magnet on ebay but now I didnt have to spend money to find out if it works... or wait for tasty coffees.
I knew there was someone out there with the knowledge. Thank you for making this video.
Sincerely from one sad 44 to another.
Great job!.
Thanks buddy - immediate fix, didn’t have a magnet, just put some squished foil under the magnet to hold it up in place.
Thanks so much. My water supply module tipped over and the magnet and cover fell out. Found them a couple of hours later and was about to throw them out! All fixed......
Wanted my coffee and got this problem. This video saved my morning..thanks!
Thanks so much for this! Easy fix for the time it took to dismantle an old fridge magnet and presto! I have hot coffee again. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️
HOLY SHIT MASTER CARPENTER SO I HAD THE TOOLS DID IT ......WHAT THEIVES MACHINE WORKS PERFECT NOW
That worked for my mom's Tassimo machine. We used a round magnet from the Dollarstore and dropped it on top of the original one.
This just happened to my machine this morning. Thanks so much for the info!
In the meanwhile, all you have to do is push the magnet against the back of the machine using an utensil and it will work as long it’s filled with water.
You are my freaking HERO!!!!! Thought it was hooped. My Tassimo lives to feed me coffee for another day!!
IT WORKS!!!! Now enjoying my coffee. Thank you, thank you.
Wonderful, I added a very slim magnet between the back of the machine & the water tank. It stopped detecting the empty tank which is fine with me. I didn't insert anything inside the water tank.
Good hack. Fixed it by switching out the magnet with something from the fridge
Oohhh my..been fighting with my coffee machine for days and after watching this video, i took magnet out and placed a smaller office board magnet in the middle of that one and Booosh..it stayed and works..Gr8 video and thank you for saving me replacing whole unit as my partner was already looking to buy another and i kept refusing.😂😂🙈😂
Thank you so much! Saved me from buying a new machine. Plus I am using three of these in various place, so I will know what to do in the future.
Yay! So glad you posted this hack! Thank you! I also was about to chuck this machine.
Thank You for your wisdom! So insightful! The company is useless despite the initial nice machine.
Thank you guys
It was so simple to solve after watching the video .
Thanks so much for this!
Two days without coffe was a pain.
I have a filter in
My water tank. How often do I replace??
Thank you for this hack. I'm going to try this now😊. Fingers crossed because I want my coffee and do not want to buy a new unit.
Thank You!!! Re-magnetized mine and it works. Look on the fridge, found several magnets there.
wow you saved my morning (+ me turning into an angry monster) THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!! That was super easy to follow, i just took a magnet from a fridge magnet and balanced it on top of the machine's one in the tank, and it worked perfectly :D
Such an easy fix that I never would have figured out, thank-you!!
Thanks mate !!! Was going to open with the grinder to see wtf was going on.
Thanks for the vid I was stressing
Ive just wedged a slim magnet next to the other in the right location
No need for floss
Excellent solution.. worked just as you described
Totally fixed the problem. Much Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing ! I was able to fix my machine by placing a long magnet Instead of the original floating one ! Thanks
Thanks...was going to bin mine...now working perfectly...
thank you sooooo much, easy peezy when you know how!! The un dissolved descaling mix had got into the magnet area & stopped it from moving, so flushed it out & hey presto away we went !!!!
finnaly find out how to "repair" it
...thx alot, save me from buying new one, i stii have that original magnet but he didint stand there anymore, thx alot❤🎉
You're a star, thanks for helping fix my machine!
Tanks for the tips and fix for the darn red light, fixed it the same way you did and it works a treat :) and I can get my afternoon coffie :)
yayy just fixed my old tassimo :) thanks for the magnet help :)
Thank you very much for your help, it has helped me to solve this problem in my Tassimo.
Regards.
I just bought machine second hand and I can't seem set it up. So it's orange so I take out black magnet and it'll work.
That fixed it for me too. Thank you!
This was awesome!!! Worked! Thank you 😊
great finally the "water detect" mechanism is based on the tab.... the missing peace of the puzzle on my machine because I tried to clean it up and removed the tab. "no water" led started and never returned..... thanks!
Awesome advice. Thank you
This helped us so much to work out what the problem was :-)
This happened to my machine..... thanks for Great video!!!!!
This was very helpful to me today thanks!!!! 👍😁
Don’t know what’s up with mine. Magnet is floating up and down with the water level. Have no circle in the back but could be as I’m in U.K. and euro models maybe don’t have that. But I think mine is busted.
you are a genius! Thank you so much
You just fixed my coffee machine - thank you!
My Tassimno only brews a quarter cup ...then stops. Tried everything to fix it. HELP
Just found this fix was about to throw it away and get a new one so thank you very much
Thanks for this video. It was a big help.
This helped so much!!! Thank you
Thank you so much for posting this video! Problem solved.
Awesome discovery. Thanks. Solved my problem instantly.
Brilliant!!!
Thanks for your help! 😁
Brilliant, thanks for the tip, it all works!
Thank You For An Awesome Hack!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you.
I had to adjust the magnet it was stuck at the bottom.
thank you man just saved me some bucks
Thanks! Just had this happen.
i simply pressed the magnet closer to the back of the coffee machine. I guess i'll be pouring cups of water into the tank from now on. Thanks
thank you.. I was just about to throw it against the wall. It happened on vacation. I take a spare so I will always have coffee. not this weekend.
It really works!!! Thank you!!!
Muchas gracias, Thank you, Merci beaucoup! We love you!!!!!! Now we can drink coffee.
Thanks so much! Totally worked!
