Einleitung

Hier wird gezeigt, wie zwei häufige Leckstellen am Dolce Gusto Genio abgedichtet werden können.

Es wird gezeigt, wie das Gerät geöffnet wird und wie man die Teile reinigen/austauschen kann.

Krups verkauft keine Ersatzteile mehr, sie sind deswegen nicht so ganz leicht zu erhalten. Ersatzteil Direct verkauft viele der notwendigen Teile.

    • Ziehe vor der Reparatur unbedingt den Netzstecker.

    • Entferne den Wassertank. Drehe dann die beiden Torx T10 Schrauben heraus. (mit roten Pfeilen markiert)

    • Entferne vorsichtig die Klammer aus ihrer Halterung. (orangener Pfeil)

    The “Spring” is actually the tool for cleaning obstructions from the spike that punctures the pods.

    • Drehe die Rückseite zu dir und beginne am linken Seitenteil.

    • Es ist mit unten mit sechs Rasten befestigt und weiteren oben.

    • Löse zuerst die Rasten unten. (mit roten Pfeilen markiert)

    • Dann löse die Raste in der Nähe des Netzkabels.

    • Löse dann die drei seitlichen Rasten. (orange markiert). Laschen greifen in die Öffnungen der Rasten 1 und 2 ein. Sie geben die Rasten frei, wenn sie direkt nach außen gehoben werden. Direkt neben den Laschen befinden sich Führungsstifte, die aber keine Hindernis beim Öffnen sind.

    • Weiter gehts mit dem oberen Teil. Es ist an zwei Stellen befestigt, mit einer Menge von Rasten und Haltern. Du musst schon etwas Kraft anwenden, um sie zu lösen.

    • Nimm zuerst die untere Reihe von Rasten in Angriff. (Roter Pfeil)

    • Heble dann die obere Reihe auf. (Der andere rote Pfeil)

    • Jetzt kannst du das linke Seitenteil abnehmen und zur Seite legen.

    • Entferne auf gleiche Weise das rechte Seitenteil. Wenn das rechte Seitenteil ganz gelöst ist, kannst du die Einschalttaste herausnehmen. Sie wird von zwei kleinen Rasten festgehalten, die leicht mit einem kleinen Flachschraubendreher oder Spudger gelöst werden können.

    • Jetzt hast du freien Zugang zum Innenleben des Pinguins.

  6. X6ISCWG5mtylwHp6
    • Es gibt drei Stellen, an denen das Leck normalerweise auftritt: am Flowmeter, an der Wasserdankdichtung oder an der Pumpe.

    • Schaue einfach nach, wo es feucht ist. Normalerweise müssen alle Verbindungsstellen trocken sein.

    • Die meisten dieser Undichtigkeiten stammen von Verkalkungen an Dichtstellen. Durch die Standardentkalkung (mit den Entkalkerbeuteln) werden diese Stellen nicht erreicht. Sie verstopfen und werden undicht.

    • Wenn eine der Verbindungen undicht ist, oder das Flowmeter defekt ist, dann solltest du zuerst diese Teile austauschen.

    Hi there, my machine is leaking from the back, please can someone tell me where I can get these parts from. Many Thanks

    • Löse den Tankanschluss ab. Er ist nicht geklebt oder geklammert, du kannst ihn leicht wackelnd herausholen.

    • Ziehe das Dichtgummi und den Filter heraus.

    • Reinige die Halterung, die Dichtung und den Filter sorgfältig aber gründlich von allen Kalkresten. Tausche wenn möglich die Dichtung aus.

    • Befreie auch die Unterseite der Halterung von Kalk, wo sie am Gehäuse befestigt ist.

    Krups have known about this fault in the design for several years and they have done nothing to cure it…I purchased a Tassimo Vivvy 2 and had no problems at all …I won’t be buying any more Krups products.

    only had 1 day.

    Hi there, mine is leaking from the bottom, where can I get the parts from please.

    hayley953 -

    The red arrows on the bottonm do not point to screws. It seems that they changed to a kind of plastic fasteners that I am unable to remove. Not without damaging them that is. Anyone knows about this change and - more important - how to loosen this parts.

    petrus bitbyter -

    As far as I know they haven’t changed the model. As mentioned in the guide, the bottom doesn’t use screws, there the red arrows point to clips. It’s enough to carefully lift them using a spudger. If the bottom of your machine differs from the pictures in this guide, a picture might help figuring out what’s different

    My problem was the sealing rubber was old and had become hard and brittle. Only found the whole connector-thing to buy online, but luckily didn't have to replace the whole thing, just used the small black rubber ring from it. Leak fixed. Now I just have to deal with the air in the water system that has gotten in while waiting for parts and so on… Really old piccolo machine.

Hi Joost

Thanks for the great guide. helped to quickly get into the Coffee Maker yesterday after it stopped working. Result: A Capacitor and a Resistor kicked the bucket. Replacing the ElCO is no problem as it is a fairly standard one and (more important): the values are printed on it :)

But i am not able to decipher the value of the resistor, as most of the color bands have faded away and the parts that are still visible are not clear enough to recognize the value... and since it is broken, i can't measure its value.

so i wonder: maybe you took some close ups of the PCB when doing this guide where the resistor R105 (one onnly two NON-smd resistors on the board near the inductor coil L100 (both located on the lower right side of the PCB). From what i can see form the Picture of Step 5 and 6, both our Coffee Makers use the same revision of the PCB. If so, i would kindly ask you to share them with me... a snapshot of that resistor with all it's bands visible would be enough :-)

Daniel Bittel -

Hi Daniel, Glad the guide was able to help you. I did take clear pictures of the pcb luckily, but i suck at decoding resistor values. Luckily the pcb is also available as a spare part, and the supplier has really clear pictures of it, so you should be able to decipher it yourself :)

Since i can't upload images to a comment as far as i can tell, please take look here: https://res.cloudinary.com/dtk4ybaqk/ima...

Hi! Do you know if i could order the needle from somwhere? Main got broken... And also how to Change it? Thank you!

Hi, it depends on the exact model, but a good place to start would be erzatsteil. A quick search gives you that there are only three models available, so just find the right one for your model number at: (https://ersatzteildirect.de/advanced_sea...). The injector plates are sold seperately, and should cost you less than 12 euros (without shipping).

Luckily, replacing it is very easy. Take a look at this guide, it will tell you how: Undichtigkeit seitlich der Kapseln reparieren

Joost Visser -

Hi Joost, very clear instructions, thanks. One small problem: the bolts in my machine look like Torx bolts, except that they have a little pin in the centre. That means that you need a Torx screwdriver with a hollowed out centre and I have no idea how I can get hold of those ...

As an afterthought: if scale on the connector assy is the most frequently occurring problem, I think that I'll just soak a handkerchief in a vinegar/water solution, put it on the connector and leave it overnight. See if that works.

Frank Teunissen -

Great tutorial, thanks! Would you happen to have a part number for the o-ring seal for the connector assembly?

Thanks!

robertwcharlton -

Hello Joost. I see you have a dutch name. So maybe you could also answer me in dutch. I have problems with step 3 of your instruction. Which tool do I need to open it and remove the screw. Or in dutch: Welk gereedschap/schroevendraaier heb ik nodig om de schroeven te kunnen verwijderen.

Mireille

mireille_mail -

Hoi Mireille, Dit zijn zogenaamde Torx secure schroeven, een versie van de wat gewonere torx schroeven met een extra puntje in het midden zodat 'normale' schroevendraaiers niet passen. In dit geval gaat het specifiek om de Torx secure maat 10 (Officiele aanduiding: TR10). Je kan deze schroevendraaiers soms wat lastig vinden in de standaard bouwmarkten e.d., maar online worden ze ruim verkocht (waaronder via ifixit zelf). Voor de rest van de stappen heb je in principe geen schroevendraaier meer nodig, alhoewel in mijn ervaring het soms handig kan zijn om de lipjes goed open te krijgen. Hier zou ik dan wel een gewone platte schroevendraaier voor gebruiken, of bij voorkeur een kunststof spateltje

Joost Visser -

Dag Joost, bij mij gaat de lip om de cassette vrij te maken niet meer omhoog, zit muurvast geklemd. Ging heel soepel dicht.

Dus nu kan de cassettehouder er niet meer uit. Weet jij een oplossing?

Dank, Hans

Hi Joost,

This article even helped me repairing the KP120. Well, it helped me opening it. Those 2 pesky clips on the bottom were holding me up quite a while…

Thanks!

Hi Joost

My EDG455.B Delonghi does not pump water into the machine (the little water flow pump is not working). I tried to connect it first to a 3v and then to a 9v battery to see if it is the pump or the circuit but the pump still didn’t work. However the magnet side of the wire connecting to the board felt warm/hot after having it connected to the 9v battery. Can you think of any resolution? Thanks in advance!

Matt -

Thank you! I just fixed my Dolce Gusto piccolo following these instructions. The water tank was leaking from the base, after opening it everything seemed fine. I cleaned it all but it was still leaking. I decided to put an extra fine in the bottom and now it does not leak anymore. Perhaps not the most professional of fixes, but it works now. Dankuwel meneer!

Pilar Gallego -

Hi, I am not having any leaking problems, but I do have a problem either with the pump or heater. My Genio 2 doesn’t stop vibrating even if I turn it off. And after getting my cup filled, water still flows onto my cup even though it has clicked. If I remove the water container from the Genio and put it back, the water flow stops, but the vibration doesn’t. I really hope you could help out.

PS: This happened after washing my Genio because there were a lot of ants. I have washed Mini Me and Drop before and didn’t encounter any problem.

Natasha Jean Cabuco -

Thank you so much for that, i was going to bin old Piccolo but gave it a go and i can enjoy coffee again! thanks!

Agatha R -

Hi, my Mini Me stopped working. I did notice a water outage at the base but nothing that made me concerned much. However, I am not sure what the Spring at the rear is for (ie. what function it has) since I found it somehow dangling out and completely came off. When I plug to wall outlet, the top red button comest on for a couple of seconds, then becomes green for another second then completely switches off. Any ideas what’s going on please?

Many Thanks - Paul

Paul -

Hi Paul,

The first part of you question is simple. The spring that’s at the rear is used to clear the puncher that makes the hole in the capsules. It can get clogged, and the spring is the right diameter to clear it.

The other part of your question is more complicated, since it has probably nothing to do with leakage, but with an electronics problem. Unfortunately i can’t help you with the electronics themselves without having the device there to measure which component is failing.

Joost Visser -

Thanks so much, saved my Kp110 from landfill. Leaking badly but just needed cleaning up around the connector assembly, very easy to do.

davidmoir1 -

in my case the defect is not to start the pump. When the coffee maker is switched on, the red LED flashes when pressing it flashes green and heats the boiler, the lever held for a while then disarms but at no time does the pump start. I have already tested the pump by feeding it directly with 110V and it works. I just tested the NTC for coffee makers and heaters at ~ 20ºC, it's at 100k ohms, heating up or NTC I got to 1 Ohm and cooling past 100K Ohms. The NTC is working correctly, are these values OK? I measured the hfe of the triac (soldered on the plate) at the pump outlet and it looks good (0.577). The problem started because it was 110V and was connected to 220V.

Bonjour,

J ai un souci avec ma machine à café qui ne fait pas couler le café malgré le bruit de la pompe. J ai essayé le détartrage et tout mais rien ne change !

Bonne journée

Hallo, ich habe das Gerät geöffnet. Bei mir läuft kein Wasser mehr und ich finde den Fehler nicht. Filter und Dichtung sind sauner kein Leck im Innengehäuse. Motor läuft, kommt kein Wasser……

Wer kann mir helfen?

cweinzierl -

Du musst halt den Wasserweg prüfen. Eventuell den Schlauch von der Pumpe abziehen, einen längeren aufstecken und gaaaanz kurz (!!!!) -größte Vorsicht- testen, ob es spritzt. Dann weiß man, dass die Pumpe nicht die Ursache ist. Eventuell ist der Durchlauferhitzer verkalkt, kommt in Gegenden mit hartem Wasser schon vor.
