Melitta Caffeo CI: System start message

A cleaning of the flowmeter (flow meter) has also brought it in my case.

With my Caffeo CI the problem appeared today also after 3 years for the first time. Approximately 10 cups of coffee per day are cooked. After one year the heating unit was already defective.
The disassembly is not a big problem, the assembly is a bit more. I removed the flowmeter and cleaned it. Disassembling, cleaning and assembling the flowmeter is easy. There were 2 hairs around the rotating red component, wherever the machine came from.
Machine works fine again - at least now on the first day after the repair. Probably you can save yourself the trouble of buying a new flowmeter in most cases - at least it's worth trying.
Repair time incl. occasional swearing 3/4 hours.
Everyone who follows the instructions of chip.de and is halfway skilled can do it himself and save expensive postage and costs when sending it in for repair!

So I just unpacked the machine and it didn't stop flushing either. Then I put in the filter that came with it and she just flushed and flushed Wider .... Until the tank was empty.

Bin finally landed here in the forum and was afraid to pack the thing right away.
ABER.... the solution was simple.

I removed the tank during the rinsing, then the thing took a little air, swallowed a little and then continued rinsing normally ... Tadaaaaaa and now I can let coffee out normally.

Hello
my Caffeo CI 970 has been causing me problems for a few weeks now.
First of all always pure water under the machine in the area under the water tank. So everything opened up, nowhere running water discovered. On that occasion I exchanged some seals. Machine worked, but after a few covers water again. And goodbye with "decalcification" and immediately afterwards ( without pressing a button or anything with "system start".
Hotline says, send in, 149 €, valves exchanged belong.
Self is the man, so open and clean valves ( relief valve at the top, the black one ) as well as the hidden drainage valve. Pomace was not soaking wet, there was also no water in the residue container.
Hab Descaler filled in and switched on, system start, flashes on the rotary encoder, when pressing, very little water comes out of the hot water outlet. Very briefly, after several repetitions, she went almost to normal, but again the same game. Descaler is standing since yesterday evening, up to the pump the hoses are also full, also on top after the heating unit is almost bubble-free water.
How do I get it to run, descaling can be started after switching on, but there is too little water.
Pump ?

Has also worked for me

Hallo, ja das Systemstart Problem besteht auch bei uns. Nur dass die Maschine nagelneu und unbenutzt ist. Was ein Dreck! Dabei haben im Umkreis die wenigsten Personen Probleme mit der Melitta. Dann freue ich mich mal auf den Verkäufer..

Hello,

>our MELITTA E 970-101 now also starts with the system start error. The device is from March 2018 and has - as of this morning - exactly 1000 covers. The error always occurs in the middle of the brewing process. The machine stops and the display shows Cancel followed by System Start. When I then press the Rotary Switch, it rinses properly and starts. Then everything goes again until it reappears a few cups later. Can anything be clogged after such a short period of use? We always use water filters, which are always exchanged. But not the original ones but the ones to refill. Descaling is also always carried out as soon as the machine complains. However, I always do both the cleaning and the descaling with liquid descaler in the water tank. For example, I never use a cleaning tablet. Is that important or isn't that a problem how I do it? I also take out the brew group once in a while and clean it. The part still has warranty, but I don't want to do without coffee for so long due to lack of replacement.

It is often useful to take out the water filter and shake it
strongly. Then use again.

NOT use the cleaning program
with descaler - this will destroy the brewing unit sooner
or longer!

Okay. Okay. I'll try that one out. Thank you. I'll take care of it. What should I use the cleaning program with then? Do I have to buy cleaning tablets?

Yes of course, what kind of question??

descaling program with descaler
and cleaning program with cleaning tablets.

You don't pour gasoline into the engine
if oil is missing

No, you're right. I ordered some cleaning pills now. I also found a solution to the mystery. It was the water filter. Bored out the original one and filled it with the refill granules. Apparently that doesn't work with that. With the enclosed filter, which is meant for refilling, I have no more problems now. Apparently, there's a difference between the two.

Hello,

if you have drilled out the filter, you have to close it after
filling again airtight. Water is sucked through the filter with negative pressure. If
da there is a hole in it, the vacuum in the filter cannot be generated
.
