Delonghi magnifica stuck infusor fix (read description for more info)

- I made this video because there aren't any explaining why the infusor gets stuck and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to fix it so I wanted to share.
Also there is one more bit of info I did not put in any of the videos. There is a circuit board on the bottom of the machine attached to the motor with 2 screws. It's a magnet sensor that detects the rotation of the drive gear. If it fails then the infusor will just move up and down and will never reach home position. Part is fairly inexpensive and simple to change.
OMG I've spent hours watching you tube videos and it turned out to be the door sensor. Thank you soooo much I repaired my machine. I couldn't afford a new one so have been having instant. was just about ready to throw in the towel and then I watched your video. Thanks so much for sharing! saved the day for me.
Thank you for this. Mine had its head stuck in the down position and I could not reassemble. So I left out the water tray, and slid in the grounds cup, and the unit reset itself. Thanks again, my wife would have killed me if I’d broken this thing.
Which I almost did…
You are a genius! It was a different reason why diffuser was stuck but you gave me and the idea to look for the solution, thank you
Thank you, Timo, for the info and lights indicating which of the 2 sensors might be bad. Unfortunately, you do not show us where the actual door or grounds tray sensors are or what they look like. Would also be helpful to put a light on what the guts look like after the door is opened - to determine what situation one might be encountering. For example, the box like contraption (infuser itself?) with the two red push tabs on either side was sitting firmly at the bottom of my Delonghi Magnifica and cannot remove the tray. There was no manually retracting it back upward (your video allowed a glimpse of where the infuser should be positioned - or I would not have known that it should be retracted upward when opening the door) , even by simultaneously pressing the red tabs inward. However, unplugging (not just trying to turn off) the unit for at least 15 minutes permitted the device to reset itself and retract the 'infuser' . So, might be helpful to let folks know to try this first (lights flash for this too). And, please - because it is certain that the sensors you refer - will go bad at some point -- give us a glance at the actual sensors and accessing them. thanks a mint for sharing your time and knowhow.
Thank you for the helpful video! I thought I needed to bring it in for repair.
Man, you didn't show anything. You just mentioned you added some extra switch. Where? How?
Thank you for your video.
I have an issue. Wonder if you can help me.
I cleaned the infuser this morning and place it back. Put the tray and closed the door. When I wanted to make a cup of coffee, the infuser went up and got stuck. When I switch it off and on again there is a flashing light moving along constantly from left to right. It seems that the infuser will not move again.
Can you help?
Thank you for this. What happened is that I managed to get the tray out but cant put it back in. What can I do?
Tx a mil, Timo! It fixed the problem!
I have the same unit. After cleaning the unit will not power up. When you plug it in, some lights blink, the infuser mov3s a bit and then goes off. Ideas to get it going?
Hello Timo, thanks for the very helpful videos. Easy and effective.
This morning my beloved Magnifica refused to switch on. After watching your instructions I've found that the infuser is stuck midway. On reflection I now realise why, when it switched off yesterday, it didn't do its usual drain cycle.
I've tried turning the drive wheel under the spiral screw gear but the brew unit doesn't move. As I can't get the power to switch on I don't know what to do next to reset everything.
I'd appreciate your suggestions.
Thank you, Geoff
GeoffWhere you need to do a hard reset I don't remember exactly how it went you have to disconnect the power press and hold two buttons wait 15 seconds while holding the buttons and plug the power back in all the while holding the button don't stop holding it until the mechanism moves. I believe you need to hold the clean button and the coffee grounds button
I have one of those and my infuser is not operating correctly. It makes good coffee as usual, but it also makes a mess. A managed to operate the machine with the door opened and saw the it starts to throw away the used compressed coffee before the right time so there is a remaining that is thrown to the front and wrong side resulting in a messy tray and coffee all over the inside of the machine. Any ideia on how to fix this?
Hi Timo, other problem, all is fine, I can make coffee but- the infusor is always down when I open the door, and I cant take the tray out. Did power cycle, but..still the same? Thanks!
Hello, Timo!
Can you please help me out?😭
I have a DeLonghi Magnifica Evo.
This machine has no switch button like yours and right now it shows a symbol that I have to clean the indicator.
The problem is that it is in the wrong position, so I can't pull it out.
I know that it would go back to it's position if I could touch the power screen but it doesn't take any "orders".
So how do I put it in that position, if I don't have such a button and it doesn't take my "orders" (I click on the touch buttons, but the machine does not do anything)
i hope you know that youre a legend. i had the machine in shambles and was scared of going further and possibly breaking it until your other video where you walk through it, then in this video you fixed a second problem that cropped up. Thanks to your thorough explanation i was able to understand how the machine works and has expanded my mind. Im very curious about how you did the switches, did you learn that somewhere specific ? it would require soldering i guess
It was pretty easy basically there is a switch on the bottom of the machine you have to remove a panel with a security torx bit. It's basically just a button. When the button is not pressed it sends a signal back to the circuit board saying that the grounds drawer is missing, pressing it is how it knows that it is in. Very simple switches basically the center wire of the switch is the feed coming from the circuit board. When it's not pressed it sends a signal to one of the outer wires and when you press the switch it diverts the signal to the opposite wire. All I did was unplug the wires from that switch pull the excess wire to the back of the panel and wire in another switch which works the same way. I had to drill small holes in the back panel but other than that it was just plug and play.
The one for the door sensor you have to remove the top panel of the machine. I'll be right at the front edge right behind the control buttons. Same deal, 3 wires going to a button. They have plenty of length on the wires so there's no need to solder. However now that I've gotten a little more knowledgeable about that machine I would replace the sensors rather than putting it on a switch. It is convenient to have it on a switch to be able to diagnose issues though.
Also there is one more bit of info I did not put in any of the videos. There is a circuit board on the bottom of the machine attached to the motor with 2 screws. It's a magnet sensor that detects the rotation of the drive gear. If it fails then the infusor will just move up and down and will never reach home position. Part is fairly inexpensive and simple to change.
@@timoseppala7137 what an interesting read. i understand what youre saying but i cant see myself doing it anytime soon. thanks for the explanation!
@@timoseppala7137 Hey buddy, so I think youre the only one who knows whats up. My coffee machine has been working fine on the preground coffee setting, making some really strong coffee it didnt before, (yay maintenance) however there seems to be a serious issue with the default bean-to-grind setting. The coffee comes out watery, in look and taste. The machine eats up a bunch of beans, creates a puck of ground coffee (unfortunately it still makes a mess inside) but somehow its not right. The mechanism clearly works as it works with pre-ground coffee, which makes it so much more confusing.
I can make a video of it if you wish, although not a lot is visible. Even with the front door open, it seems to do exactly the same thing.
Sounds like the o rings need to be replaced. There are 2 on the infusor and one on the bottom of the boiler (look up inside the top of the unit). There are plenty of videos on RUclips that walk you through it.
Thank you so much!
good evening! am delonghi Magnificent on starters the bev of general alarm lights up, and does nothing. I checked the microcontacts on the door and the tray, boiler, thermal fuses, all good.
what can it be?
Hi Timo, do you by chance know what the 1 cup, 2 cup and water lights sequentially flashing means (not all at once)?
Hi! Thanks for this - mine has the water dispenser light on and it will not follow through after you hear the grind to put the water through. When I open the door that piece you referenced is all the way up and seems stuck. Thoughts?!
My infuser is stuck on angle off vertical so I can’t take it out. I took the bottom off the machine and removed the belt from the. Motor to the infuser cog and started turning the infuser cod by hand but nothing happens. Infuser is not moving. Any advice thanks.
Ok I put downward pressure on the infuser as I turned the cog (17mm) and the infuser slowly returned to its vertical click out position. I then clicked it out by pushing on the two red buttons. I then cleaned out the coffee and snapped back in the inverter and turned on the machine. Nothing happened. The red triangle with exclamation mark light came on is all. I don’t want to just change parts but I think that when the inverter got jammed the electric motor that turns the belt for the inverter burned out when it jammed. How do I determine if that is the case? Thanks
Hi, my Delonghi manifica automatic infuser is stuck high up to the right and is completely stuck, tried moving motor etc after reading fixes on here but it's not moving at all. Any advice please?
Can you add a link where I can purchase a grounds tray sensor, please?
There is something wrong with this machine. There is a light on the pot bulb
Hi. I have a somewhat different problem. I yanked out the tray when the infuser was in the wrong position (bad move, I know). So now the infuser is in the wrong position, too far down, and I can't put the tray back in. Is there a solution to this? Would really appreciate any help (especially as it's not my coffee machine). Thanks.
Actually, it's OK, I've found a solution. You have to put the ground container in without the drip tray, keeping it in the right position with one hand as you close the door with the other. Then when you switch the machine back on, it automatically re-positions the infuser like it's supposed to. So then you just take the container back out, stick it onto the drip tray, and put the whole the back in, and the door opens and closes as per normal.
Thanks for this vid anyway.
VampireDucks you accomplish a hard reset by having the machine plugged in, pressing and holding down both the decalcify and ground coffee buttons, unplug the machine for 15 seconds (still holding down the buttons), then replugging the machine into the socket before releasing the buttons
so I Thought, made the noise, moved the infuser, but next start- warning light is on AGAIN. any idea? thanks
VampireDucks worked for me ! Thanks
This is helping me on the road to repair but the infuser is stuck so low I cannot take out the water tray and grounds tray.
Did you ever find out how to put it back up?
Help I cleaned my machine and it’s stuck with the tray light on and I cannot do anything. When I open the access door the tray light and the hazard light blink together. Please help.
I have all lights like Christmas tree in sequence any idea?, please helpp
My infuser is stuck right up the top and both coffee lights are on (not flashing) and the warning light on. Can't do anything with it! Any ideas?
Kiki Mdc I had the same problem, anybody know how to fix?
After 2 years, have you solved the problem? I have the same issue right now
@@vitoleone9029 did you fix it? I have same problem...
@@HogarZr Yes, fixed. In my case the problem was the Electric motor not working anymore, so the infusor couldn't move and remained stuck. Bought a new one and replaced it by myself.
@@vitoleone9029 i push and hold first 3 buttons. Then I put cable to the electric power. Then he start to move. I don't know what I did, but I made it 😂
I have one that's stuck on general alarm and keep saying insert
My Machine is only 1 1/2 months old and the Infuser light came on. I looked in the manual and found out how to clean it. It came out perfectly but the light still didn't go off. I took it out again and cleaned it more thoroughly but somehow I got it in wrong and it won't go completely in and it can't be pulled out. Any Thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks!
Without looking obviously I can't say exactly what you did however this machine does not have a specific light just for the infuser it has a general warning light which can mean many different things. Are you sure it was actually referring to the infuser? As far as I know this machine does not have a light for the infuser so it wouldn't know if it's missing. That said if you put the infuser in improperly it can get jammed. I would call DeLonghi first though if you're only a month-and-a-half old you're still under warranty.
My machine has a similar problem. It will turn on, but when I make coffee, the infuser goes up into the brew and the grinder grinds beans that fall into the tray below. It passes clear hot water through the infuser. Then when I turn the machine off, the infuser goes down all the way to the bottom and then comes part way back up and stopping too high to remove the infuser. If I unplug and replug the machine, it resets but again stops too high. Any suggestions?
you find the aswer?
I replaced the main board and it solved the problem. Expensive way to fix it but it worked.
hi when i close the door it actually trips my fuse board
Hi Timo, I have this same machine (EAM3000 to be specific), and am having an issue I haven't had before, I'm hoping you've seen it before and could help.
When turning on, it makes the normal noises and puts the infuser into place. Then eventually, the red warning light comes on SOLID - no flashing.
The manual says "you've probably forgotten to put in the infuser", or "your machine requires cleaning as per the manual.
I have stripped and greased the infuser, and made sure the inside is as clean as I can get it.
That didn't work.
I then looked through to the transmission, which looked a bit gunky, so I have stripped and greased that too.
That didn't work...
Have you seen this before, do you have any ideas I could try?
Thanks for your time already making the video, i'm sure there are lot of people out there who find it useful.
Stu.
Hi Stuart, it's been a while but, could you fix it? I have the same problem now.
Hi Stuart. Can you solved? I have the same problem...
@@erjaviahi shit I can’t remember sorry…
I don’t think so.
Bought a new machine when I moved over seas but can’t recall if I ever fixed this issue
@@al14126 shit I can’t remember sorry…
I don’t think so.

So your solution to a bad sensor is to rewire the coffee maker? SO SIMPLE!!!
that's not necessarily the solution you can replace the sensor if you want to. in my opinion though it is nice or having it on a switch
Oh yaaa.. Just a matter of wiring up a new switch.
Hi Timo, my infusor is stuck because I forgot install back clip after cleaning. Now it is all stuck in low position ;( infuser looks broken now
Yes it is important to reinstall it properly not sure what to tell you. I don't personally see how that would break the infuser though I would have to see it to know. I have a spare infuser if you want me to sell it to you and mail it to you
My machine is stuck up with warning light on
Delonghi Magnifica Red Triangle Alert won’t turn on
The infuser does not want to come out??
Kozak Istvan do you let it shut down completely before attempting to remove it?
Can you help me?
nildo miranda parolini for some reason I cannot see your comment I was able to read half of it through the notification if you want to you can send me an email at seppalatimos@gmail.com, or try to repost your comment
No water???? Everything works
How can I fix this is it the water pump , but it runs???wel it make noise 😁😁
Hi Timo, I have this issue where the brew station of my machine suddenly seems to go to high and makes this forcing sound (as if the machine will self destruct its transmission frame) before going into error. I uploaded a quick video. ruclips.net/video/R_J8hcUMGQg/видео.html Is this a sensor issue or a control board issue ... or something else all together? Thanks you for your suggestions.
Hi SiSco. I have the same problem. Have you solved this problem? I see your video but we are not allowed to comment...
Thank you very much.
@@al14126 hi lima. No not solved yet. Was thinking of fixing it some day soon... but I keep postponing it. 😝 Oh and seems my video was in a wrong category. Reactions should work now. Thks for reminding me to fix my machine. All tips are welcome. 😉
@@Mr3Dvisuals, thank you for your rapid response.
After research, I see at been2cup.org, a table with hard reset procedure for all delonghi coffee machines. And it works for me... 😁
If you gave me your model I can tell you the procedure.
Bye and thanks
not realy a fix is it jeez

Hi, I just bought an AEG CS 5000 and it has the Problem that you are saying (The Coffe falls in/near the tray and not in to the infusor and the infusor is never reaching home position it just move up, and stays up). But that specific circuit board is on the back of the machine attached to the motor with 1 screw. I bought a new cicuit board and going to replace it. What do you think, did I make a right cause?
Thanks, Timo
@@prototix9071 I'll be perfectly honest I have never seen nor touched the machine that you are speaking of so I can't really help you out a bunch but if it's the same symptoms and it has the same kind of part in it then it would make sense that it be the same piece but I'm not going to tell you whether it is or isn't
Oh, I actually replaced the wrong part.. but its under the motor (Bottom of the machine). How do I replace it then? I cant take the infusor out because it stays up and never reaches home position. What do I do now? How do I take the infusor out then?(Circuit board: www.ebay.de/itm/DeLonghi-Reedkontakt-Impulssensor-ESAM-ECAM-EAM-Getriebe-Bruhgruppenantrieb/252778606294?hash=item3adac76ed6:g:LekAAOSwX4Bcp0b7&frcectupt=true)
I'm no expert I've just learned this one machine I can't really say what you need to do with your machine it's an entirely different machine. On the DeLonghi magnifica there is a panel on the bottom of the machine you need security torx bit to remove it. Once you remove it there is a tiny little circuit board in there swap that. But I still stress the point that you're just taking wild stabs at it unless you actually talk to somebody who has knowledge with that machine
@@timoseppala7137 Good Afternoon Timo, would you have the technician test mode for manually moving the infuser? I had the utube video in Jan, and didnt save it in an organized way. The infuser is stuck on top, so I want to lower it, pull it out and possibly replace transmission and the sensor your wrote about yesterday, Thanks again. Dee, which order should I try theses, first new infuser, then sensor, then transmission?
