Siemens EQ500 brewing unit is stuck

Hi all
,with my EQ 500 I have the problem that it is very difficult to remove and insert my brewing unit from the machine. Only with great effort possible....

Do you have any idea what I can do?
I think it is the white guide part on the top of the machine (See picture)
-> this is not straight forward
.


Thanks for your help.

Hi,

The machine must be started with the door open.
Then press the door switch with a rod (e.g. a screwdriver).
The machine starts and the white trainer begins to spin.
By removing the rod it stops rotating.
Be careful not to stop it in the middle but just at the beginning of the rotation.

Best regards

It worked for me and I finally inserted the brewer unit back! But now the door switch is stuck and I can't close the door...

Use cord / string to overlap leaver and pull back to position…

I followed your instructions as I have the same problem with removing and replacing the brewing unit. However, I can no longer close the door. The internal catch seems to have moved and whatever I do, I cannot get it back into place. Any advice? Many thanks in advance. I was also unable to get the white dial to turn on the door was open.

Hi, The machine should be started with the door open. Then press the door switch with the rod (such as a screwdriver). The machine starts and the white trainer starts to rotate. When you remove the rod, it stops rotating. Be careful not to stop it in the middle, but right at the beginning of the rotation. Greetings</br></br></br></br></br></br></br>

Hi. I managed to do it as you wrote, but is it possible at this point when this "spout" is straight ahead somehow reset the machine so that it would remain so ? because all the time it returns to the wrong position. Greetings

Where is the door switch on the EQ 500
We can’t get the white switch to turn

When you open them right top corner its hole for door latch, and inside is switch
