Jura E8 makes unusual noise when rinsing
Posted by: Gast_Mike December 07, 2023 01:54 pm
Hi,
My coffee machine stopped dispensing coffee during brewing and water during rinsing. I took the machine and brew group apart and replaced a faulty O-ring. I reassembled the whole machine. back
Initial problem is fixed, but now the machine makes this loud humming sound during part of the rinse. Also, the drawer gets pushed out every time when the coffee container is inside the drawer.
Here is a video capturing the sound:

Any ideas for troubleshooting? I notice that the brew group has a bit of play up and down (3 mm) - not sure whether that's the way it is supposed to be. I did not notice anything out of the ordinary looking at the brew group with the case open.
Thanks

Is the bottom screw in?
There must be a screw by the yellow arrows.
The noise is the solenoid coil of the drain valve.

Schlawi,
Thank you, that was brilliant. Adding in the screw in the bottom right helped with all of the issues.
As a person not doing a lot of repairs even beyond coffee machines I am used to having a screw or two left over after re-assembly. Who knew that this one was so critical. While I can still hear the solenoid, the high pitched noise is much diminished. Listening at the video again, it did not do the issue justice.
