Introduction |
| Work in progress - a partial solution. Feedback welcome. The partial part is that I still may have to stop the “Rinsing” process during startup. But I can make coffee. | | | My machine is a Saeco Exprelia full automatic espresso machine. It has been working well for several years, until the stream of espresso dried up into drips and then finally ceased. I should of course have descaled it in time! | | | The message to me was error E05 which means “Water circuit blocked”. | | Causes can be:
* Clogged boiler. - the subject of this guide | | * The water flow impeller can be blocked | | * Water pump may be worn out. A sign of worn out pump is rinsing problems on startup. | | * Something else... | | The YouTube guide “How to clean your Saeco brew unit” is a good idea to check first. | | | The completely blocked boiler would no longer allow the descale program to complete. | | | Time to do some disassembly. |
