Melitta Caffeo CI System error 8

QUOTE (spooner @ Thursday, September 05, 2013, 9:41 p.m.)

If anyone else has this problem: I called the Melitta hotline today , which in my opinion is the best hotline in the world in terms of waiting time, competence etc., which is only incidentally. Anyway,the good woman at the other end advised me to switch on the appliance while the brewing group is far away ,then to the upper right of the large drive wheel, which is located quite centrally,in the approximately pear-shaped recess, in which you can see a white plastic part,to press down on it until you reach a switch/button. When you press it,the machine beeps, then hold it pressed until the wheel turns back and forth and comes to a stop again .now put the brewing unit back in place,lock it and that's it!at least that worked for me . I hope I could or can help somebody with it. MFGSpooner

A great tip! Had the same mistake and the manual didn't help me. But that was it. I couldn't get to it with my finger, but with a serenade. The switch is on the white part. Thanks a lot!!

@Spooner:

Thanks for the tip! Machine running again, day saved!!

Hello, everybody.
I don't have the engine turned on anymore. Both the trick with the button with removed BG and my/on unfortunately does not help. Do you have other ideas?

worked out great and saved the day!

Hello, everybody,

I'm desperate about system error eight. I successfully replaced the drain valve. I can make a cup of coffee. But after the cup the system error 8 appears and the machine switches off. After that, the brewing group cannot be removed for the time being and is blocked. Then I simply leave the locking device of the brewing group open and switch the machine on again. Of course, the message "Insert brewing group" appears - I then close the locking device and the machine is idling for a moment - now I can also remove the brewing group again or draw another cup. Then the game starts all over again: system error 8. I have already pressed the My and On/Off buttons several times and also alternatively pressed the micro switch many times. The motor also starts to run back and forth each time. But as soon as I draw a cup of coffee (or espresso, it doesn't matter), the system error 8 appears again. Did I miss any hint or does anyone remember anything about this?

Thank you for setting it up, it worked right away.
I was afraid that it would be expensive, thank you again.

Good morning , now it is unfortunately with our Melitta also so farSystem error 8. tips I have tested, it also beeps makes noise, but the drive wheel does not rotate Is the machine now ready for scrap or what can I still do? Thank you already

But hello. This afternoon it was also my fault that I took out the drip tray under the rinse cycle, she didn't like that at all. Hotline called at 4:15 pm on Fridays. I'm supposed to unplug it overnight and let all the leftover electricity go out. That's bullshit. You can reach them again on Monday.

I'll have a look behind the brewing unit. There's no way in. Immediately problem recognized ... Drive shaft never adjusts... Yeah great there is no reset button... Turn the brewing unit around and see how it works. But I didn't want to.

Then I mowed the lawn in the garden without coffee....

Well, they came over the page an hour ago, thanks to the gentleman on the first page.

My IQ Touch is working again, but 5 times knows brains, and very unpleasant noises, and peeled. It wouldn't be that easy with me. In and my recipes pressed. Nothing again. ...thought brew unit is broken. In the meantime the drive shaft didn't turn any more either. at some point I read on for another 5 minutes and suddenly it starts working by itself... And look there again out and in. Care rinsing made. Went again. Espresso with few beans adjusted. Runs.

So you should try it more often.

Tough fight, though, thank God we saved on repairs. That's the second unit this week.
Washing machine in Düsseldorf so clogged up that it couldn't open. 70euro...

Hi guys,
just got the error8 after turn on. I have tried both versions of solution, but no luck. If I push the switch, the screen says wait please and then red screen. No wheel movement, not even any sound of the wheel trying to move.
Same with On/Off+my coffee, no movement inside, after having it pressed for few seconds, red screen.
I am affraid, that in my case the movement drive is gone, is it possible? Anybody had the same issue?
I am sad a lot bcs I see how many of you managed to make it work.

Thank you very much for the tip with the above mentioned switch. In my case, this unlocked the brewing unit again. MfG Atlas

I also had the problem and could solve it after the very good instructions. Thank you very much for this tip. With kind regards Frank

Thank you, you're a sweetheart! It worked:wub:

Thanks to SpoonerHat
works with the reset. But it was my own fault. I messed up the machine because I pulled out the drip tray again during the warm-up. I had not yet inserted the remaining tray. So one should
avoid
as much as possible

Top, was able to fix system error 8. Press the lower limit switch with your finger and the roller goes back to the start position.
Thanks
