Ninja Coffee Bar CF080 Troubleshooting

None of these things help make my pot work! It beeps after 30 secs of turning on. The reservoir leaks, and I don’t overfill it. It shuts off for no apparent reason!! Getting pretty feb up with this ninja coffee bar!!

My Ninja does the same thing. Cuts off after a few seconds of cutting on. It won’t stay on long enough to even try to clean it. Any suggestions?

Mine does the same thing, it runs for 20/30 secs then beeps three times and cuts off

My Ninja does the same thing it runs for 30 secs and then beeps 3 times and stops. It does it in every mode including cleaning… any suggestions that I could do to fix this?

Add me to the list with this same problem (this is the new #metoo!). My coffee pot does the same behavior. Runs 20/30 seconds, beeps 3 times, then shuts off. I’ve tried cleaning, I’ve tried different size of brewing ounces, I’ve tried adjusting the basket, the reservoir, the coffee pot. Just keeps happening. Any feedback from Ninja?

mine is stuck in clean mode display window shows cln and clean button lights up every 30 seconds or so even when turned off please advise

Tried the trouble shoot of depressing springs & still does the same thing runs for 30 seconds and shuts off, it is only 6 months old, tried clean cycle & still shuts off, not happy! Any ideas?

My coffee bar keeps turning off after a few seconds. it’s been cleaned , that light is off, when I press the classic button to start the brew is glows on and off

We’ve had our Coffee Bar replaced several times, but now have this “beeping/stopping” issue. If we cannot fix, it’s time to explore the world outside of Ninja. Their customer service was great when the unit was new, after having it for a year, not so much. Apparently a replacement unit won’t last as long (refurb?) but too many times having to call Ninja.

Tried to clear the lines, tried to clean, and it continues to beep 3 times, then stops and ends whatever cycle you are attempting (brew or clean). Time for a new coffee maker, and time to try other brands, unfortunately. I liked the Coffee Bar, but this is the third base that we’ve been shipped???

Mine was working but then it stop i turn it on and it only beep and plate light is on but hot plate not hot wont let me do anything. Now there no power at all on my maker and it is plug in. What can i do?

My clean cycle won't turn odd

I’ve followed the instructions in booklet to clean my coffee bar and nothing happens. Why?

Mine has had the habit of running for a few seconds then saying “flush” no matter what operation I do and never going past that. I have tried cleaning it but it will follow the same procedure as mentioned above.

My coffee maker will not go through the flush cycle. I’ve tried turning it off and back on. I’ve tried running water through it and it won’t fill the pot. I can’t get the water reservoir to empty half way with the cleaning process or with just a brew process. Very frustrated

I tried everything suggested, but finally found the problem and fixed it! The water reservoir needed to be hand-cleaned very very well. It LOOKED clean and even had white vinegar in it, but until I washed it, by hand, with hot, sudsy water and rinsed it well, I didn’t notice that there had been a very slight slime or slipperiness on the inside of the reservoir. As soon as that was washed away and fresh water put back in, EVERYTHING WORKED AGAIN! I hope it works for you guys, too!

This is my second Ninja with the same problem, beeping after several seconds. I was about to return it but love my Ninja and don’t want to go to something else. Underneath the water bucket or reservoir, is a hole that must have gotten clogged with calcium buildup so after an hour of trying to troubleshoot, I unplugged the machine and sprayed into the hole with my faucet, with the button pushed down and machine held upside down, and several scaley pieces came out. I know have a functioning coffee machine! :) Hope this helps for you!

Sounds like this unit is a headache for all….

There haS to be an easier way….

very disappointed with this machine, a gift from my kids…

I tried all but nothing works.

I would not recommend this unit to anyone…

there should be a recall on it

Mine was beeping every 15 seconds and wouldn’t run anything. I took everything loose off it unplugged it and held it over my kitchen sink. I then turned it upside down while pressing down on the water reservoir entry hole and just started turning 360 degrees in every direction. I did this until all the water had run out and I couldn’t hear anymore water in the unit. I the. Plugged it back in and filled it back up with water. Ran a cleaning cycle and everything worked. I think I ran the unit without having enough water in it and air got in the lines and was tricking the machine into thinking there was no water. I will make sure I always put more then enough water in it in the future. Hope this helps yall. The cleaning light thing from what I can tell means it is still dirty and you need to run multiple cycles to clear it.

Hey everyone!!! This is the FUNNIEST forum I’ve read re:fixing techniques - but you all fixed it for me! Thankyou!! I can have coffee in the am! I had to do the “shake into the sink upside down trick while holding the spring button down….” but it is now working and running a clean cycle!

My ninja coffee bar “clean” button keeps on blinking and there is no water dripping. I click and i click the “clean” button bit it won’t stop. I don’t know what happen. I’m just using it and it’s working, suddenly as i plan to make for another cup of coffee that “clean” button keeps on blinking and the water is not dripping.

BUYER BEWARE!

None of these solutions help! This product is a piece of crap!!!!!

This machine is less then 2 years old, we use reverse osmosis water, and we use it maybe 3-4 times a week as we have a keurig so our lifestyle we use this machine mostly on weekends! We do not leave water in the reservoir . We always clean it when needed…. the machine shuts down every 5 - 10 seconds! I called Ninja and spoke to a customer service rep! Apparently there’s nothing they can do as it’s out of warranty! There solution was to charge me for a new one with a 50.00 discount! Big deal!!! When I have already paid over 300.00 for this unit and it’s not even two years old!! Very disappointed customer!

I agree with everyone that is done with this piece of sh*t. I thought I had the solution, but it worked once. I got a Keurig coffee maker for $30 and haven’t had one problem. I completely tore apart the ninja because a friend gave it to me and I thought it would be a pretty simple fix. What a waste of time. There is something like a sensor that is keeping it from working properly. Point being, it’s a *!&*^#% coffee maker. This should not be rocket surgery. I fix electronics as a hobby and this boggles my mind. I’m done with it. Good luck to everyone. Please post if you have a solution other than going “Office Space Style” on it ;)

We just purchased our ninja coffee maker and has condensation on carafe and also on the water reservoir tank. Can’t figure out why it would do this and also why it doesn’t go away after a while. It is impossible to see inside of the carafe, even after the maker is turned off.

My Ninja had the clean light on. I filled the reservoir with the recommended water and white vinegar mixture. I pressed the clean button that was lit and nothing happened. Hitting a brew button would run a few seconds and then beep 5 times and stop. Hitting the clean button still did nothing. I kept hitting the brew button until it ran about half of the water in the reservoir ran through. I let it sit for about a half hour. When I hit the brew button again, the clean light went out. I hit the clean button again, but it still just runs a few seconds and stops. This is how it is sitting now. I can’t get a clean cycle to go all the way through and it will only brew a few seconds and then stop. What do I do now?

I removed the 3/16 inch little plastic tab in the bottom of the external water reservoir whichwas dried out and keeping air bubbles from escaping from the internal water reservoir inside the machine. Worked for me.

Solution for me! So what's happening is that the water isn't running fast enough through the machine so the the machine thinks any cycle you tell it to do is done. To fix this, clean out the bottom hole of your reservoir so that it flows well, then use a rag to clean out the area of the machine where the reservoir flows into. Try the clean cycle again after doing this.

If your clean cycle does not run - Try confusing the coffee bar by pressing and holding classic and the clean buttons together holding it down for a solid minute - should reset the whole thing re set up for the cleaning process and press clean should run fully with no issues good luck

My machine beeped 5x after initial 10-15 secs and completely stopped brewing. I removed the filter basket and checked the reservoir. Both valves (the one on the outside bottom of the water tank and one stationed to connect to this valve inside the coffee pot both seemed to work. Tried every brew option with every capacity, unplugged and tried again… no matter what I did, the same 5 beeps happened and it would stop the brew cycle. Finally, after reading the comments, I simply turned this stupid thing upside down while simultaneously depressing the interior valve with a straw and attempted to brew again. Voila… the thing works agin. But beware because the water that spits out of it while your pressing the valve whilst turned upside down is hot and burned my hand.

Well it’s 2024 and mine does the same thing. They haven’t fixed it yet.

I finally found a fix that seems to resolve the beeping issue. I can't take full credit as I researched the issue a few years back and think I picked up some of these instructions from YouTube or a different forum.

—

Unplug the unit, hold over the sink, flip upside down, and firmly smack the bottom underneath the reservoir side 5+ times.

—

Plug unit back in, fill reservoir with 75% vinegar and 25% water, set carafe in unit, turn unit on, start clean cycle and press clean button after 20-30 seconds, and let the unit sit for 45+ minutes. Repeat.

—

Dump carafe. Add water into the reservoir and run clean cycle. Repeat process with 50/50 ratio if there was a lot of buildup after the partial clean process.

—

Run two standard brew cycles with plain water before using the unit as normal.

Hope this helps!
