Siemens EQ7 - Brewing group is jammed

QUOTE (Arvid @ Sunday, 15 June 2014, 08:05)

Hello, we had the same problem, but the suggested pressing of the second right button didn't help anymore (although it had worked before). The reason was that the opening into which the unlocking mechanism has to go did not turn into the right position. My wife and I were able to apply a "workaround" here by proforma once performing a run-through with already ground coffee (idle for powder, abe raw powder). Afterwards the brewing unit could be removed ... without guarantee. Many successes Arvid

Hell of a trick! However
you came up with the trick.... just awesome!!!

Hm now it jams with me also the first time... it runs already over half a year... I clean the brewhead very often... but now it does not work any more.
Only I would like to try this trick but my door doesn't close anymore... I don't want to use force... maybe someone has an idea

SEHR GUTER TIP ZUM GLÜCK NOCH KURZ VORM SCHLAFENGEHEN GEFUNDEN... WIR WAREN SCHON SEHR VERZWEIFELT UND KURZ DAVOR DIE BRÜHEINHEIT MIT ROHER GEWALT RAUSZUREISsEN

I could smooch your wife and you!:D Thank you!

This hasn’t worked for me - my unit is still jammed. Any other suggestions !

Great tip! Worked flawlessly. Thanks

Hello dear ones.

Also, my brewing unit is stuck and I'd like to do that sometime with the run with "ground coffee", ie that it supposedly "pulls" from the powder compartment.

Somehow I'm too stupid and don't know how to set it. Otherwise I always hit crank on "make me a cafe crema".

But I can't even run it because it won't turn on without a brewing unit.

Today also purchased the Siemens mill -currently very cheap at Media M. Received excellent instruction and info on the machines there + internet. During the first setup I also encountered the "jamming" of the brewing unit, despite following the instructions for use, i.e. moving the red slider to "up "and then pressing the rear red shutter. Solution: the 2nd red slider unlocks the unit when pressed, but it must be held down when pulling the unit out! Unfortunately, the picture in the instructions does not show this. A tip for practice: while the right hand grasps the right handle (as instructed), the red button can be held down with the little finger of the hand, so that the unit is now easily released when pulled. The already feared way to the customer service should be spared with it. Whether this is a general problem of the type, I cannot say. Please give me feedback if it works now. Latina

Hello all ,
Have the same problem. That the brewing unit is stuck .
Do not know yet what a 2nd red lever ?
The part has only a lock lever red, to lock the grinding and brewing part.
Got it out again, with plug pull, switch off - on, jiggle the brewing unit, pull, lift, press .....dann gings ...

First of all, thanks for the tip.

Problem occurred with me probably because I wanted to open the brewing machine just before finishing the last coffee run (so, the coffee was already done, the machine still rattled a little after).

You can start the cycle via the powder compartment on my EQ6 by pressing the coffee strength button several times (coffee bean symbol) until the powder compartment appears as the selection.

Now I have the brewing unit out but can't get it back in...
anyone managed?
The motor seems to be in the wrong position....

You can screw on the brewing unit carefully.... means you can screw it into the home position by hand.
If the press plunger is not in the end position ( the small ejector blade must be free to move, ) you can not insert the brewing unit.

That was THE tip! It worked on the first and only try. And I was already thinking "oh sh....! Got up at four tonight and would have broken the machine trying with a screwdriver and knife if I hadn't stopped.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!
