Melitta Caffeo CI: System start message

Hi the engine shows sytem start, what can I do

Hello to each otherI
had the same problem. "System start" and nothing worked anymore. Only a few drops were left at the outlet. Melitta machine is 2.5 years old and 3-4 cups
a day. I didn'

t even

call

the hotline

.

I then proceeded as described in the forum, disassembled the machine according to the Viideo and removed and disassembled the flowmeter. He was all right, though. Then we connected the pump and tested it also worked. The next step is to install the heating. It was still heating but nothing went through. New heater online ordered 40 € and installed. Decalcified again and the thing runs

again 1aLg

QUOTE (Guest @ Sunday, 05 October 2014, 21:06 h) Today I also had the "system start" endurance run, my CI is 1 3/4 years old, always according to specification with filter insert and change, as well as decalcified according to regulation. I then simply filled in descaler with a slightly higher dosage, let it run a little, let it stand for a few minutes and then let it run until it was empty. In my case, the problem has been solved, then another descaling run according to the program and that 's it. Danke sehr geil helped with me too.

It was the same with us.
Worked like a charm!!!!

Hello, our machine is 6 months old and we had the problem described above. Before we called the customer hotline, we first carried out all the procedures described above - without success. The lady from the customer hotline asked if we use a water filter, which is true. The following procedure for checking: Remove the water tank, remove the water filter, reinsert it. Open coffee powder container, wait for second beep, make normal coffee (second button from the left). Since that worked, we tried a normal cup of freshly brewed coffee afterwards. That worked too. Ergo: it was the water filter, by the way not an original, but a cheap repro. We will now try this again with the original filter or leave it out. During rinsing, the pump draws water through the system with more pressure than during brewing. Therefore the rinsing process works, but not the brewing process. Hope it helps one or the other.

That trick worked great. Thanks

To the "system start scandal"
: I had today with the just delivered Caffeo CI , remedy created "On/Off and MyCoffee" at the same time press. There was an initialization and everything was fine. By the way, it is located in the operating instructions under another
item.

By the way, this is my second, at the first stand water under the machine (drain valve?) and I did not want to send the machine in. Melitta offers a complete overhaul for ne 149 Euro.

Hello, I was helped by the indication of the wrong flow rate: there was "fluff" in the metal filter on which the water container is placed. Flowmeter itself was clean and common.

Thank you for the information from the previous ones!PS
we have had the machine for 6 years and clearly something has always been replaced or cleaned etc. But I think it is great that this is possible with this machine.

Hi there,

Thanks for helping ! I got the same issue today. By reading your answers I found out the issue which is the flowmeter. For me the pump is not involved in that issue. Before opening and cleaning the flowmeter (pretty easy to do) I wanted to try first a powerfull descaler (acid) for pro usage. I restarted the caffeo, it started draining water and with the discaler this time after one second the caffeo did his classical cleaning cycle. I did a manually discaler cycle to finish my water tank by extracting hot water. Then I did a classical discaler cycle but without discaler, only water to rinse the system from previous cycle.
Flowmeter are sensible but can be cleaned up easily try first with hard discaler, if it doesn't help, go for a manual clean up before changing parts.
Happy to keep a bit longer my caffeo, hope you will do so.

Hi folks, with my Melitta Caffeeo Ci the decalcification program was constantly aborted because no water came out of the front and then there was always System Start. I replaced the flowmeter and reconnected all plugs, completely reassembled the machine and installed a full water tank. Now there is no more System Start but FILL WATER TANK!!!!The float in the water tank works and before the problem with the System Start came, I never had problems with the water tank.
Can someone please help me? I am having one tantrum after another.

Edit: FILL WATER BASKET FILL even if there is no water tank in it. Normally it should then be hot water tank INSTALL

I also had today the "system start" endurance run,my CI is 1 3/4 years old,always as directed with filter cartridge and change,and descaled as directed. Have then at this system start Dauerlauf simply times Entkalker with something higher Dosies poured in , something run, a few minutes let stand and then the rest until it was empty. The problem has settled in my case then, then another descaling pass according to program and ready .

Thank you very much me has the double dose at the descaling also helped:

Hallomeine Caffeo CI 970 also makes me problems for a few weeks. First always pure water under the machine in the area under the water tank. So opened everything up, nowhere running water discovered. At the opportunity a few seals replaced. Machine worked, but after a few pulls water again. And goodbye with "descaling" and immediately after ( without pressing a button or anything with "system start". Hotline says send in, 149 €, include valves replaced. Self is the man, so opened and valves ( relief valve at the top, the black ) and the hidden drainage valve cleaned. Trester was not patschnass, also stood in the residue container no water. Have filled descaler and switched on, system start, flashes on the rotary encoder, when pressing comes very little water from the hot water outlet. Very briefly, after several repetitions, it almost went to normal, but again the same game. Descaler is since yesterday evening, up to the pump, the hoses are also full, even above after the heating unit is almost bubble-free water. How do I get it to work, descaling can be started after switching on but not enough water comes. Pump ? GrussUli

Hello, in my case the T-piece behind the thermoblock was clogged and caused too little flow. The machine never got out of system start status with it. I removed it and cleaned it. After that it ran again. I found instructions on how to disassemble the machine on the internet. To find the clog I followed the path of the water. First the flowmeter, then the pump, then the thermoblock and then the tee.

Hallo,

wollte mich hier auch einmal kurz für die vielen Lösungsvorschläge bedanken.
Ich habe auch die Melitta coffee ci mit dem gleichen Fehlermeldung.

Nach dem Wechseln des Durchflussmessers, Säuberung der Expansionskammer und des Drainagevenils kam ich hier im Forum auf die Lösung. Softwarefehler !
Der Tipp mit dem Öffnen der Klappe für das Kaffeepulver brachte die Lösung.

Danke nochmal.

Thanks colleague has saved us the Sunday

Thanks, the addition of descaler has now brought my machine out of the START continuous run...a proper descaling I do right after and then let's hope that the box runs again.
BTW This is after 6h the first "defect" of such kind. But for every 2-3 years, the milk nozzle is broken, in which it only sprouts ... already 2 times the 150€ gelatzt for the PauschRep.
