Hello professionals,

the machine has a very good water coming out of the nozzle, but when I make coffee the pump runs on a few drops of coffee running into the cup then the pump switches off after 10 seconds.
So far I have disassembled and cleaned the BG, rinsed and cleaned the hose to the outlet, disassembled and re-installed the pump and decalcified it with citric acid
.
Can the fault be due to the flowmeter? Or what comes to your mind about this topic?

Have you ever tried to reprogram the fill level?

Yes, I pressed the coffee cup until the memo mode and the pump stopped after 10 seconds

Could be the flow meter. Try another descaler. Amidosulfonic acid. E.g. Eilfix, Durgol or similar. Or take the flowmeter apart and clean it by hand.

The flowmeter is free it turns easily when I blow into the entrance, can I test or measure it somehow?

Did you get the hoses on the flowmeter the right way up? There's an arrow on them.

So I tested everything exactly according to the film and it all worked
, so the flowmeter is ok but why does the pump switch
off
so
early...
or... The machine is still disassembled and there is no coffee in it, can
this

be the reason why the pump is only operated for a short time?

At the flowmeter I don't find any arrows, I have plugged the outlet of water tank to the lower connection with the nozzle aiming at the paddle wheel.

Yeah, could be that there are no beans in it. The machine has a ceramic grinder. It measures the power consumption and if there are no beans in the machine, the machine detects that.
However, I know that the brewing unit runs back immediately and does not start to pump.

So she runs again, it was actually the missing beans. Beans in and everything went as it should, thank you very much for the nice help, patience and support.
