I tried all the things suggested in the video and nothing worked. I thought it was a goner. UNTIL I saw someone’s comment about sticking a pin in the needle of the spinning disk. That did the trick! It was all gumpy and crusted. Fun fact, I actually used a water pic flosser to clean the rotating disk and the needle. It cleaned it all very well!
I put my machine away for over 2 months after trying just about everything with no success. I TRIED THIS AND IT ABSOLUTELY WORKED !! Thank you for saving my marriage of 28 yrs. ( I make my wife coffee) 🎉😂
“It really works! I didn’t even have to open and clean the bottom part-just the tiny hole where the coffee comes out. It was clogged with residue, but a wet cotton swab cleared it right up. Thank you!”
was cleaning everything EXCEPT the top spinny part… it was so stuck i didn’t even know it was supposed to spin. just cleaned it & it’s working perfectly now!
I tried everything here but still couldn't get it to work. Then I noticed the needle where the water comes out was clogged, so I stuck a pin in it and cleaned it out. Success!
This right here was the saving grace for my machine!!! It was 20 secs away from getting tossed. I did all the things and it still wasn’t working until I stuck a pin in the needle. Thank you for your wisdom! 😅
Thanks for this. I had the same problem. It was infuriating me as to why it wouldn’t work. I never would have thought to clean the gunk from the wheel. It was amazing how much build up was there. I have de-gunked and it seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the tip.
OMG! It WORKED!!! I had problems with the machine not pumping out the coffee or water. So all I did was use the qtips and cleaned the inside and now IT WORKS!!!
Thank you for thia video! My spin head was stuck! Cleaned the head and the center poker (like the comments suggested).... still red blinky... unplugged and replugged.. still blinky... ran half a cleaning mode and its working great again!
Also one other thing you can do, take a paper clip and use it to clear coffee debris directly inside the brew head (the part that punctures directly into the middle of the pod). Thanks for the vid!
Thank you so much for the video❣️ My Nespresso-maschine didn‘t work for months, and I could finally fix it!!! The problem was the dirt on the spinning disk. Thanks :)
I had this issue and nothing worked either. I got mine working by filling the water container up with boiling water and also the pod holder to let the steam loosen the crud. I imagine this isn’t recommended but at the time I was going to bin the machine anyway. Once I got the machine to spin I descaled 5-6 times to remove the buildup.
@elitewoodchuck Did you actually run the boiling water through the machine? Or did you just put it there and leave it for a while before removing it, in order to soften the buildup?
Tanx! you just save me 75 bucks, I already call Nespresso and they was going to repair it for 75, so I do a research and finally find the problem, noy it works!
I tried this but still doesn’t completely work…sometimes I have to unplug the machine like 5 times in order to make it work I cleaned the rotation parts but still…it’s o my been 9 months since I bought it…
This happened to me when I was trying to do the cleaning process. It would start, make the same weird noises as yours, stop..and red blinking light come us. With several wet q-tips, I cleaned all that gung off and it worked!!!!!!!! Thank you ❤❤❤❤
I tried all these methods, even cleaning the rotating disk with a water pic flosser and putting a pin in the needle - and nothing worked - until I did them all a SECOND TIME :( I bought this machine and am SO DISAPPOINTED - something is always wrong. I had the classic Citiz Machine in Chrome and nothing ever went wrong in 8 years!! This Vertuo machine is always having issues, it's internal technology is terrible - I'm so mad.
I have this machine and it will not even turn on anymore and its been less then a year. I plug it in and nothing, I've tested the receptacle and it is not that its the machine itself, did I buy a dud!

Can you show me where the needle is
Your water pic idea is fabulous - it made cleaning the disk area fast and efficient.
Yes this!
Water pick. I will have to give this a try

Glad it helped!
Actually….it didn’t last long before it was problematic again. So I now make my wife TEA. 😂
No it ducking didn’t work 😢
LOL... I just LOVE UTube!
Your suggestion of cleaning out the top was what worked for me. Saved me a big headache - Thank you!!

Thank you! Because of your solution I skipped right to the end clean the residue and it works again! Thanks

OMG! It WORKED!!! I had problems with the machine not pumping out the coffee or water. So all I did was use the qtips and cleaned the inside and now IT WORKS!!!
OMG! I wasn't able to do anything, rinsing, descaling, nothing. This did the trick!! Thank you so much.
Man you saved me! God bless you. I am with a new born 5th day without coffee. You are my hero!
Great to hear!
I tried your method and it worked out great! It now makes coffee again. Thank you. I will have to use it more often and keep that part clean.
Thank you for thia video! My spin head was stuck! Cleaned the head and the center poker (like the comments suggested).... still red blinky... unplugged and replugged.. still blinky... ran half a cleaning mode and its working great again!
Hit the machine from top as hard as you can three times. It worked for me !!!!
Also one other thing you can do, take a paper clip and use it to clear coffee debris directly inside the brew head (the part that punctures directly into the middle of the pod).
Thanks for the vid!
Dude you’re a god it worked right away after cleaning the spinner up top!
This cup of coffee is for you!☕️
☕~
Great. But just to say maybe plug out and in before you use it again.
Mate, THANK YOU! I’ve done literally every single one you did and it works better than before 🙏🏻
You are god sent for this video. I did EVERYTHING and this did it
I'm glad it worked for you!
Thank you so much for the video❣️ My Nespresso-maschine didn‘t work for months, and I could finally fix it!!! The problem was the dirt on the spinning disk. Thanks :)
You’re a legend! Fixed the red blinking lights right away
Paper towels worked great for me! But also made me realize it may be time for a deep descaling as well! Thanks so much for the tips 🎉
My unit had a stuck spinner and thanks for all of the other tips in the video and the comments.
Thank you, you've saved me from throwing my machine out the kitchen door❤
Thank you sooo much. Nestle should pay you.
Thanks a lot for your help! Now I can enjoy my coffee break (I mean all day long 😊) again. Greetings from Brazil.
Great to hear!☕
Cleaning the spinner worked for me, thank you!
So cleaning option won't clean that spinning section? I clean my Vertuo once a week and descale it once a month. Thanks for this.
You are a genius!!!! I solved my problem with this video. Thank SO MUCH!
How coukd you get out of descaling mode?
Thanks the factory reset worked for my issue
Thank you. It worked for us too. Technic service not needed 😅🎉
Worked for me, thank you!
If none of that works, unplugging it for 15 minutes might do the trick (it did for me).
Omg thanks sooo much for your help! I was about to throw that machine away😂
Now it works!😎
Man, awesome solution. Thank you for sharing
It did WORK!!!! My life saver!!
worked after a cleaning process, thank you very much
Thanks; the last trip worked for me!! Thank you I can have a coffee this morning 🥰🥰
Amazing Tip. Worked for me
I had mine plugged into a outlet extender, and apparently it wasnt supporting enough watts because i plugged it straight into an outlet and it worked.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
This worked like a charm, thank you!!
What are the next steps if this doesn’t work? 😔
I had this issue and nothing worked either. I got mine working by filling the water container up with boiling water and also the pod holder to let the steam loosen the crud. I imagine this isn’t recommended but at the time I was going to bin the machine anyway. Once I got the machine to spin I descaled 5-6 times to remove the buildup.
The buldup really causes lots of problems. 🤔
@elitewoodchuck Did you actually run the boiling water through the machine?
Or did you just put it there and leave it for a while before removing it, in order to soften the buildup?
Yes, it works. I just spun the brew head few times. Thank you
Thank you, that worked for me! 🙌🏼
Thank you so much. It really works
Tanx! you just save me 75 bucks, I already call Nespresso and they was going to repair it for 75, so I do a research and finally find the problem, noy it works!
This worked for me! Thank you!

Perfect! It worked. Thank you very much.
I tried this but still doesn’t completely work…sometimes I have to unplug the machine like 5 times in order to make it work I cleaned the rotation parts but still…it’s o my been 9 months since I bought it…

Thank you 🎉
Thanks!
Thank you
Thank you!!!
Nightmare machines need dedicated buttons
Minimalist design can sometimes be a bit inconvenient. Having so many functions on a single button makes it a bit too complicated.
Perfecto. Eureka it worked.
You need to be careful there’s needles on that machine
This is why Keriug wins the market
It worked.
Thank you thank you thank you!
This works!
