MELITTA CAFFEO CI E 970 -103 ( high water )

My Melitta fully automatic coffee machine still makes big problems Too large quantities of water are rinsed into the containers during brewing.Already after switching onat the
first rinsing there is water in the marc container and in the drip tray.This water is not yet interspersed with coffee.Then during brewing, in my
opinion, too large quantities of water
are
rinsed into the drip tray and the marc container.Thiswater
is strongly interspersed with coffee..Schopn before the actual brewing, a smaller amount of coffee sludge is pushed into the marc container. I have already washed the drainage valve.The ceramic valve is absolutely dry Even a new brewing unit did not bring the desired success..If the coffee is boiled in sufficient quantity, is in,the Tresterschale no dry coffee cake ,but run coffee slush. There is also a small amount of coffee sludge on the coffee grinder's discharge surface, which is probably the amount of coffee sludge that ends up in the pomace container at the beginning of the next brewing cycle. Also I have the feeling that more and more coffee grounds are everywhere in the machine.Auch wenn es wegsauge, is sch schnel very quickly again coffee grounds in the fully automatic.Man should perhaps call the machine Vollkaffeautomat.Was can I now still do, to eliminate the error or should I yet contact the people who otherwise blow up ATMs.
I continue to ask for help and wish Allen a Happy New Year Greetings Bernd

After I have reinserted the drainage valve again and have renewed the grinder; the seals of the BE were also renewed, is hardly any water in the pomace container.
I have now nor the problem that in the DIsplay no longer appears the requirement
" Empty drip tray " (even if this is actually meant after a certain number of coffee purchases of the pomace container )
.
Also, I noticed yesterday that on the inside of the cover on the Brüheinheitsse light water vapor precipitates.I can not explain why this is actually sometimes the case,The Flowmter was also replaced by me, because I thought the device counts wrong and the missing request to empty the drip tray comes therefore. But this is apparently not so.Where could it come from?Maybe someone knows an explanation for my problems. Greetings Bernd

Hi,
the message for emptying the grounds container appears after a certain number of cups.
If you remove the grounds container in between, the counter starts again from zero.
Unless the switch has a wobble. But then you would also have to see on the display, because then drip tray missing or similar come.

The flowmeter must probably
count to
the Saint-Nimmerleinstag, until
a message comes, or I wade in the kitchen through the coffee grounds.Could the error also be on the electronics board (IC, C, diode) to find? Bernd

You connected the hoses to the flowmeter the right way around? Bottom of the tank in, the upper to the pump.
Could be electronics, but I don't think so.

What is actually , if the home position of the drive is wrong by 1 °-2 ° I but the
brewing unit easily and without problems can easily insert.Could that explain the water after the initial rinse in the Tresterbehälter also.or is that by the easy insertion of the BE excluded? When returning the drive to the home position by pressing key combinations ( e.g. switch on and MyCoffe )is the drainage valve damaged ? The prompt " Empty drip tray " now reappears in the display. I have renewed the grinder,but the pomace is still quite soft and moist.
Could also cap.losses of capacitors cause the problem?
The amount of coffee in the cup is correct.Should I change the DV again?
Greetings Bernd

Hi, the 1-2° should not matter.
There is no seal between the mold seal and the strainer on the crema valve.
The drain valve will not be damaged. At least not when the brewing unit is in the machine.
Why you are still getting water in the pulp container when you rinse, I can't say either. Where did you get the lip seal for the top plunger?
The machines make a relatively large amount of residual water into the drip tray after each draw.

Have you ever removed the front panel of the drip tray and looked where exactly the water comes from?

If there is a seal on the crema valve, who knows what else is installed in the brewing unit.

Even with the front panel removed, I could not see anything.There was no other noticeable deviation on the brewing unit.The peculiar thing is that the water is already after the initial rinse in the containers. I can not see that at the end
rinsing water on the pomace stands The lastTreste rist always dry It is always only the pomace of the first brewed Kafffree's relatively damp... If you think of anything else, let me know. Thanks again for your informatIon Greeting Bernd

The water ventilates during the initial rinse and the final rinse in the marc container.
When brewing itself no water comes into the marc container.How can I get the machine to brew coffee without the top part ( lid with bean container ), to see where the water comes from.Also, I find after rinsing on the BE at the very bottom of the
plastic molded part, ( rod with strainer above ), water adhesions, or is that normal? If not, where can this water come from? What else can I do to determine where this flushing water comes from? I have now performed additional rinses within the PFLGE-
program (only rinses without coffee preparation). With each additional rinse, more water enters the drip tray and the drip tray. This means that it can be assumed that the unwanted amount of water is produced in the pomace container and drip tray during the rinsing process. The lower
part of the BE ,which I have previously dried off (before additional rinsing ) is now wet again.
Greetings Bernd

Hi,

to brew coffee without the upper part, you must bridge the plug of the reed switch of the powder flap. I always use a jumper of a hard disk or mainboards for this.

With an inner part of the toilet paper roll or an appropriate funnel that fits, you can then feed beans.

What does the pomace look like? Coarse, fine? Post a picture.

How many beanings does the machine have? Has the grinder ever been replaced?

Hello Schlawi , I have now times strongly absorbent paper stretched over the marc container, and an additional rinse made over the care program. I noticed that the rinsing water drips onto the rear edge of the pomace container (parallel to the front edge
of the machine) and runs into the tester container and the drip tray. This would be about 10 cm from the front edge of the fully automatic machine Can mandaraus conclude something and approach the error
