Hello
,my Siemens EQ 500 no longer produces milk foam, but only liquid milk.
I have already cleaned everything thoroughly and also a completely new nozzle with hose I have tried - has unfortunately brought nothing. Only warm milk comes out.

Have read in another thread that the air valve (directly above the foamer?) Could be tight.
Where please is this valve located? I do not see it rolleyes.gif
Or does anyone have an idea what else could be the cause
?


Many greetings
Dagmar

[U][/U]Hello, the air valve is integrated into the frother, beverage spout to my knowledge.
Please put it in dishwashing liquid and a teaspoon of vinegar essence. Otherwise you have to take it completely out of the machine.
Do not pierce the valve with a pointed object, otherwise the opening will be too large. and then the frother only spits.
Between thumb / forefinger and knead.

Hello
,thanks for the tip and the tip!
Have already replaced the frother completely.
Will but the remaining parts times insert. Maybe something has clogged. Otherwise I give the machine times in repair.
Many greetings

Hello, you can, if the front is built like the EQ6 or EQ5 with a silicone hose or drinking straw blow through the air intake with the mouth.
Proceed as follows:
Set the KVA to prepare milk foam
.
The multivalve will rotate to the correct position for frothing milk. Unplug the machine, do not turn it off or anything like that.
Then try to get the connection for milk foaming free, not with compressed air.
It may or may not work.
Post here if it worked, if not please post the foamer as a picture here.

Thanks for the tip.
Unfortunately, I have no idea at all if it is built like the EQ5 or EQ6.
From the front (so externally) they look different
.

Have decided to give the machine in repair.
M.E. it draws too little air, for whatever reason.
That should look at someone who gst idea of it, before I break anything.
But thanks anyway for your time and effort.
Many greetings Dagmar

Thank you for your effort to fix it yourself.
I would be happy to read after the repair, where it was and what parts were replaced.
Surely one or the other will read this then also.

Greetings Chris
