Siemens Eq6 leaking?
Posted by: Poldi99 March 19, 2017 12:59 pm
Hello
I recently purchased a Siemens EQ6 500
For switching on and rinsing I always place a bowl under the spout. Nevertheless, there is a lot of water in the drip tray where the vault container is. With my old machine, a Delonghi Primadonna, the skin was always dry. Therefore my question to other owners of the same machine: is this normal or a defect?
I have changed to Siemens now after many different Delonghi Primadonna. The reasons were: Siemens is much quieter and the coffee is much hotter. Both has annoyed me with the Delonghis always.
The foam seems to me also more beautiful with the Siemens. Coffee tastes the same to us. Although Siemens needs fewer beans for a coffee mug than the Delonhi

Here you can see that the water comes from here.
The machine is about one year old and has about 500 coffees on top.

Hello Mr. Poldi, flushes flow in the bowl you have positioned under the coffee spout.
The brewing unit returns to the working position and the water is dropped from the non-return valve to the brewing unit directly into the collecting bowl.
This is what is wanted and has a special name for this system, also for other hestellers, "SingleBrew, for mostley Button".

Thanks!
Then this is so to speak normal?
Posted by: kaffeechris March 19, 2017 06:03 pm
A normal thing 1-2cl can then run into the drip pan.

I just turned it on and off now. There were about 60ccm in the drip tray. So a very big shot glass full. Does that fit?
Posted by: Nicolas February 03, 2019 12:11 am
I also have the EQ.6 in the Plus S100 version and after just switching it on I also have a lot of more than one shot glass in the drip pan. That seems a lot to me...?

I have the same problem, after 5 big cafe crema, I get the hint that the bowl is full. I think that's a bit much. My machine is an eq 6 plus s 100
Posted by: Gast_Anne February 24, 2020 04:27 am
It is the same with me, too. I've had the machine for a week now and it was like this from the beginning. I have the EQ.6 plus I always put a cup underneath and still the drip tray is always full. This can't be normal ]Am very disappointed. I don't know that from my old Saeco:wub:

Hello
,also I have the Siemens EQ.6 plus s300 for 14 days now. Also my drip tray is full in certain intervals, despite the drip tray for rinsing when switching on and off. I did not know from my Delonghi either. However, I read somewhere that the brewing unit is also rinsed and this water is led into the drip tray.

Since three days the EQ.6 Plus s700 extra class in the house and the collection tray is always full

Same here. Siemens EQ.6 s700.
Especially the fact that the coffee dispenser bowl fills with water worries me. In the beginning the coffee dispense was always dry, only containing coffee. Now the sludge is always wet with a layer of water. Is there something leaking, a rubber maybe? Or is this normal?

Hello, everyone.
We have EQ 6 plus S 300 and the same problem.
But I can still live with that. Much worse is that the machine seems to be leaking somewhere. We always have a kitchen towel under it. It gets really dirty. Does
anyone have any ideas or experience with?

Hello, everyone,
the same problem, drip tray full, water runs out during the brewing process, machine was repaired and even replaced, that should be so right! we have never had this with any other machine before!
Many things are strange about the appliance, additional components in the drip tray so that the hot water does not damage the plastic, various covers that have to be removed for cleaning, the brewing group...really no masterpiece of German engineering
Cleaning the brewing group under running water is not sufficient, mechanical cleaning is necessary, coffee residues everywhere in the corners
Coffee is good, not very good, I had expected more from the high pressure, Coffee purchase very slow
Overall: no recommendation, expensive mistaken purchase

Hello,
I own the Siemens EQ6 Series 300 and as already mentioned in the forum, our machine underneath it is also wet
Posted by: Gast_David November 09, 2020 01:50 pm
I've just bought an EQ 6 Plus and am AMAZED at how much water goes into the drip tray EVERY SINGLE CUP.
There seems to be a MAJOR DESIGN FLAW with this machine..
Posted by: Gast_Conny December 09, 2020 11:11 am
i have had a Siemens EQ 6 plus s500 for 1 week and i have the same problem with the water, before i had a DeLonghi and there was this problem not. Also the coffee residue is always muddy. A lot of water runs into the drip tray.
Many greetingsConny

We bought a reconditioned machine (EQ.6 Extra Class) from a dealer on Friday and are not sure if it is normal for water to drip from the brewing group even though nothing is prepared.
When we pull out the drip tray, it drips mMn very strongly, for the fact that the device is actually not in operation. So I wanted to ask you as "professionals", is this normal? This is actually our first device.
Also, when we pull out the drip tray, we always have some water at the front of the device, which then drips out. Is it the same with you? For a device of this price range I would find that quite unusual 
Enclosed you can see photos of the drop inside and the moisture that comes out when the drainer is pulled out.
Thanks for your help!

I bought our Siemens EQ6 Plus 8 weeks ago and I'm sending it back.
There's a ginormous amount of water always in the 'drip' tray.
We always catch the water at start-up and shut-down in a separate cup.
BUT
After one start-up procedure, 5 cups of coffee, one shut-down procedure there's more than 400cl in the tray ... that's totally RIDICULOUS.
ALSO DESCALING:-
The machine is used for only +/- 5 cups a day on average .. just in use by one person.. but it asks for a descaling procedure every 14-16 DAYS !!!
If it was in use by a family of 4 it would be asking for descaling every 2-3 DAYS ... COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS !!!!!
A disaster purchase..
It's a shame because the coffee is nice .. and hot

We have the EQ6 now 3 years.
It was 2x in repair without that a change would have occurred.
I've got me the thing now times vorgeknöpft:
Apparently it is probably really normal that during the brewing process a lot of water goes wrong.
Also the pomace is pretty wet. More water ends up in the drip tray than in the cup.
Apparently the seals do not manage to hold the high pressure.
Now the real problem:
The steam in the machine (moisture) causes the coffee to clump together directly at the outlet from the grinder.
You can see this well when you take out the instant coffee container (you can do this by pushing a plastic flag to the side from below with a screwdriver) and draw a coffee.
After the brewing process, it steams out of the chute of the instant coffee container.
More and more coffee misses as a result, clumping up nice and damp in and around the brew group and getting mouldy.
The whole thing is a single, far too complicated faulty construction, with a thousand corners in which coffee powder can stick :-(
In a machine for the price, should not be!!!!!We will
still usethe
machine, leave the powder coffee container outside, so that the steam can out and make the brew group weekly clean.
Then it should work.... Even if it means a lot of work.
After all, the coffee is good and the milk foam dispenser is handy.
It was too expensive to throw away.....
Good luckKlaus

I can only agree with Klaus.
First of all, I never wanted to buy such a device because of mold, but I let my wife persuade me
I own the EQ 6 S 700 since the beginning of March 2021, since then we have made about 10 pulls with the machine, and here so a two sticking points.
1) When switching on and off he makes a cleaning, that is partly not enough to get the system clean. Let's assume that I have just made a reference coffee latte in large, then clean the milk system, then comes the shutdown (1/4 hour) again cleaning, until here the water is still partly cloudy, only when I switch back on and it comes again a cleaning, the water is halfway acceptable.
Is it possible to change the amount of rinse water, I have not found a setting point?
2) The water collection tank is full after a few uses, meanwhile I have read that this machine has such a feature. I also assume that the piston ring or other rings can not hold the pressure, is just a guess! Also
I have removed the powder chute to see what is happening in the device, and yes there is coffee powder on the edge of what you can not see so at all, but with a reference to the water vapor cloud is small, but now imagine more than one reference over the day to make it could be quite possible that moisture on the grinder and edge is formed, which could possibly produce mold.
I have done it almost exactly as Klaus, the shaft outside left, see photosMfG

My machine was sent in,everything supposedly in perfect order .I have to clean the brew group every 3-4 days as it is completely full of coffee sludge. The drip tray is full after 5 cups of coffee at the latest.Never again.....leider Siemens takes nothing from the complaints, sadly

We have now for 2 years the Siemens EQ6 Plus S700 and have always been satisfied with the machine and the coffee taste. For about 2 weeks it is so that is extremely much water in the drip tray. So far it was actually always so that came in time a message in the display "Empty drip tray". Meanwhile, it is so that we always pay attention to the red mark, so that the bowl does not overflow or is extremely full.
That with the few drops of water on the front, lower side, we can also confirm recently. I bought the maintenance kit for the brew group on Amazon and there renewed all seals and greased - without success. We would also be grateful for a tip on what else it could be. I myself am an electronics engineer and would also trust me to disassemble the machine. For this, however, I should know at which point I have to look approximately.

Hello,
I also have the same machine and the same problem.
Have replaced the seals and also unfortunately no success.
There is always water under the machine and I can not determine exactly where from.
Have you already completely disassembled the machine?
I'm thinking about it, but I'm not sure if it really makes a difference.
Greetings Axel

Sorry that I get in touch first now. Have not found time before and the spare parts had to be ordered.
I have replaced the ceramic valve. This brought no change. In another repair forum, I have read the advice that one should change the seals (search on Amazon Siemens Eq6 repair / maintenance kit), the coupling for the brewing unit (item number: 00620989) and connection unit / brewing chamber inlet for brewing unit (item number: 00616637).

I also
changedthe
seal / O-ring for the ceramic valve (item number: 00633878).
Please order and change this at the same time as replacing the ceramic valve.
https://ibb.co/N3bKg4W
I have a better crema again and from the seal of the ceramic valve no more water runs on the wall into the drip tray.
Unfortunately, I still have the problem that the drip tray is full very quickly. I noticed yesterday that there is a white opening at the bottom, where the water drips into the bowl for minutes. Does anyone know what the opening is for or how I can stop this?

Hello all,
we have since a few days also problems with our Siemens EQ 6 700 or so 
Our machine is now 2-3 years old.
I am satisfied with the design of the machine eigendlich. I prefer to be able to open and clean my machine myself. That's why we chose the Siemens model. So far so good.
But now we have noticed that our machine starts to rinse incorrectly. Since then, a lot of water ends up in the coffee grounds container when the machine is switched on and off. So much water that the Puks there become coffee water.
The coffee preparation is visuel the same.
What the previous speaker has done everything (seals, etc.) I have also done.
The rinse cycle was not better but again a little better taste.
Just noticed that we have since a few days also new coffee in it. I do not understand why the rinsing is therefore worse.
Does anyone have an idea what this can be?
Greetings

Pump I think not, it drips even when the machine is switched off the water comes directly from the tank, have already considered whether it can be the water tank coupling.

I have the EQ6 S500 now for 14 days and have to empty the bowl several times a day.
The KVA turns off but also after 30 min standstill. Will try to set the standby time to 4 hours. If I still have to empty the tray after every cup, I'll throw the machine in the nearest Siemens office.
That's everything but quality.

Moin moin,
The problem was found and fixed it was the pump that has a defect and water has let through even when switched off, problem was fixed in the workshop and now with new pump I have only trouble the machine is now complained for the second time because of various defects what but the workshop is to blame.
Posted by: Gast_Stefan April 08, 2022 10:37 am
Now I've read through the whole thread here and that makes me shudder.
Have had the EQ6 700s for three days and after the first day when emptying the drip tray in the evening found that there was a lot of water felt in the drip tray. Also found water in the front under the machine. I thought that something had sloshed over when I removed the bowl and lifted the machine to the side to dry. There was more water than I thought, even in the back left. I still blamed it on my carelessness when pulling out the bowl.
Yesterday (day 2) then the same thing again, although I am very sure that I did not spill any water this time when I pulled it out, as I paid extra attention. Bowl was very full of water and under the machine again very wet.
Machine goes back, replacement is already on the way. And then I read this....
After 20 years of Jura I have dared this change, but should the described here also show up again with the new machine, then it was for me with Siemens.
Let's be surprised!
Posted by: Gast_Stefan April 10, 2022 10:46 am
I have now examined again more closely. Bowl cleaned and dried and left overnight in the machine. The next morning there is water in the bowl. Not much, but still. Exactly under the place described by @mauriceeeee with the outlet of the pump. That is, even with me, the pump lets water through when it is turned off. Before cleaning, the machine had also been off for several hours, so it couldn't be residual water from the last draw.
When I then pulled out the bowl, there was still water underneath
!
In the bowl there is a small hole with a silicone plug or something similar at this point where the water probably also drips from the pump, in my opinion the only place where the water can get out of the bowl.
This of course makes me wonder why there is such an opening in the bowl.
My machine is brand new, now only in operation for 4 days. The pump lets water through when switched off and through an obvious leak in the bowl, the sense of which is not clear to me, the water runs to the outside and from the front under the machine... Clearly that goes back and I also no longer want a replacement for it, after everything I have read here so.
That was my brief, enlightening experience with Siemens...

Hello all. We have the EQ 6 plus S 300 and the same problem. But I can still live with it. Much worse is that the machine seems to be leaking somewhere. We always have a kitchen towel lying underneath. That sucks then beautifully icky full. Does anyone have an idea or experience with? LG. |
Put a kitchen tray under the coffee maker but one made of sheet metal, the water stays on it. Thus, the countertop remains dry if water should overflow.

| We bought a refurbished machine (EQ.6 Extraklasse) from a dealer on Friday and are not sure to what extent it is normal that water drips from the brew group, although nothing is prepared. When we pull out the drip tray, it drips mMn very strongly, for the fact that the device is not actually in operation. Therefore, I wanted to ask you as "professionals" if this is normal? This is actually our first unit. Also, when we pull out the drip tray, we always have some water in the front of the unit that drips out. Is this the same for you guys? For an appliance in this price range, I find this quite unusual Attached you can see photos of the drip inside as well as the moisture coming out when pulling out the drip tray. Thanks for your help! https://ibb.co/tLCkFZn https://ibb.co/Z8GNtK3 |
On the photos you can see that the machine seems to be quite dirty from the inside, for a refurbished machine that is not ok, even I as a hobby screwdriver would never put something like that in the hands of others again, I have replaced the O ring on the brewing unit in my machine, after that was much less water in the bowl.

Hello, since yesterday I have the same problem with this white thing where all the time the water drips out, it drips until the tank is empty, please help. |
Change the ceramic valve 60-70€ then the problem should be solved.

This is the pulsation damper. It contains a rubber plug and a spring. This rubber plug is worn out or the spring is worn out. https://komtra.de/siemens-ersatzteile/siemens-ersatzteile/pulsationsdaempfer-pumpe-siemens-eq-bosch-vero.html de/siemens-ersatzteile/siemens-ersatzteile/pulsationsdaempfer-pumpe-siemens-eq-bosch-vero.html

There is a possibility that one or more factors lead to too much water in the collection container or in the pulp container.
Brewing unit should run smoothly. O-rings regularly (lightly) lubricate with silicone grease. In addition, the brewing unit must be cleaned regularly. USW....
If the manual knowledge or skill it is not sufficient for the disassembly of the KVA's then please to the customer service. Almost every city has a KVA specialist.

| Hello, everyone, the same problem, drip tray full, water runs out during the brewing process, machine was repaired and even replaced, that should be so right! we have never had this with any other machine before! Many things are strange about the appliance, additional components in the drip tray so that the hot water does not damage the plastic, various covers that have to be removed for cleaning, the brewing group...really no masterpiece of German engineering Cleaning the brewing group under running water is not sufficient, mechanical cleaning is necessary, coffee residues everywhere in the corners Coffee is good, not very good, I had expected more from the high pressure, Coffee purchase very slow Overall: no recommendation, expensive mistaken purchase mfg Juergen Reinert |
Has anyone had any fixes to this issue? I’ve got same problem and Siemens don’t seem to understand it and keep telling me to empty the tray when the machine is on. I thought it was just me with this issue, but seems others have the same fun. I’m fed up trying to explain the problem to Siemens.

| I bought our Siemens EQ6 Plus 8 weeks ago and am now sending it back. There is always a gigantic amount of water in the "drip tray". We always catch the water in a separate cup when switching on and off. BUT after one start process, 5 cups of coffee, one switch-off process, there are more than 400cl in the bowl ... this is totally DISGUSTING. ALSO DESCALING:-The machine is only used for +/- 5 cups per day on average ... only in use by one person. but it requires a descaling procedure every 14-16 DAYS !!!If it were used by a family of 4, it would require descaling every 2-3 DAYS ... COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS !!!!!A disaster purchase. .</br></br>. It's a shame because the coffee is nice .. and hot</br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br> |
You have to set the water hardness level to one to delay descaling
