Introduction

If the coffee becomes thin, the grindstones may have become blunt. The beans are then only crushed and not cut, making the coffee less aromatic and thin. This can already happen after about 10000 cups. In DeLonghi machines, unfortunately, the entire grinder must be replaced, since the grindstones are not available as spare parts. A hint on how to replace the grindstones is given in this guide: DeLonghi Coffee Maker grindstones replacement

    • Unplug the power cord!

    • Remove all attachments such as water tank, pulp drawer, brew group.

    • Turn the machine with the back facing you.

    • Remove five Torx T20 security screws.

    • A small hurdle: These screws have a pin in the middle, so the screwdriver must have a hole.

    • Lift out the back.

    • The following components are immediately visible:

    • grinder

    • pump

    • flowmeter

    Sehr gute Anleitung. Die Security Schrauben der Rückwand können auch durch normale Kreuzschlitzschrauben ersetzt werden. Natürlich mit gleichen Abmessungen. Es erleichtert bei späteren Reparatur Arbeiten die Werkzeuge Auswahl , da überall Kreuzschlitzschrauben verbaut sind.

    • If you haven't already done so, also detach the right-hand cover on the water tank.

    • Remove the four Phillips screws securing the top cover.

    • Lift the top cover up a bit. That might be a bit sticky.

    • Don't remove the top cover completely, some models still have cables attached to the cup warmer.

    • If there is a cup warmer, then unscrew the nut SW7 with which the two green-yellow cables are connected and loosen it. The two brown cables on the other side can stay if you just put the cover on top.

    • Place the top cover on top, or remove it entirely.

    • Turn the machine so that the grinder faces you. The grinder stands in the machine without further attachment. You only have to follow the course of the two black connection cables and disconnect the plugs.

    • Turn the machine so that the left side is facing you.

    • The black cable is part of the cable bundle. Cut the cable tie first. Replace it with a new one when reassembling.

    • Loosen the flat plug at the end of the black cable. You have to push in a small catch on the connector.
