Hello, my Caffe Corso worked fine until a few weeks ago when it stopped making coffee. I took the entire thing apart water pipes, pump, valve etc. and found the primary issue - a huge rock of limescale clogging one of the smaller pipes - and removed it. Water now flows, however, only for circa 10 seconds and suddenly it cuts out with the water tank light flashing. I can try again and it will work but again, only for circa 10 seconds. Does anyone have any ideas aside from the usual one of turning the steam nob because this only works for 10 seconds too. For the same reason, it cannot be properly descaled, although I’ve manually ran this. Thanks!
Have a look for the flowmeter. There is a guide for the ECAM series, the flowmeter for ESAM is the same. Replace/revise DeLonghi ECAM Series flow meter (In German, use Google translate) The test mode could bei helpful: DeLonghi ESAM xxxx - Test Mode And: there is a “finger” on the rear side of the drip tray. If it is broken, the machine does not “feel” the closed tray. 2nd and: worst case: a clogged heater…
