Sounds like the E20 pump giving up the ghost. |
Yes, in contrast to normal coffee dispensing, the "lack of water" is not indicated by the float in the tank and the reed switch triggered by this. Rather, the machine reports "Fill water" in the decalcifying program only when no more impulses come from the flowmeter, i.e. the water is really empty. At this point the pump becomes louder.
As the pump only runs for a few seconds at a time, this dry running is not harmful. However, if you refill water at this moment (before the message "Fill water" appears) out of concern for the pump, the machine will not come out of the descaling program.
