How to service the infuser on a DeLonghi Magnifica Coffee Machine . Crazy Chef

- Do you suffer from coffee not creamy as before, coffee puck not forming correctly, debris in the bottom tray where is should not be. It could be the infuser needs a quick service, this is not mentioned in the handbook. Machine here is ESAM4200S. **Safety First, you may wish to turn the machine off at the wall socket and remove the plug** If you get this as a regular problem then there are more technical videos that explain how to take the infuser completely apart.

Note this is a quick fix for non-technical people, there is a video that actually shows how to fully dismantle the infuser.
Goes in “liiike that” he says with his back to us and no view of what’s going on whatsoever well done 👏🏻
About the comments lodged by Shaw, you read them and were humbly open to the advice. Excellent job chap!!
Thanks uncle, this solved my problem of weak coffee and broken coffee grounds 👍🏾🙏🏾
Thanks, Crazy Chef. i was about to go crazy on my machine and would of needed a new one! lol
Crazy Chef is a leader of men
Rally great video chef thanks.
While you had the infuser removed why on earth didn’t you remove the plastic clip, push out the piston and clean and silicon grease the two O-rings around the piston?? Any form of vegetable oil should not be used as it can affect the O-rings in the infuser… Only a food grade silicon lubricant should be used. Removing the two o rings from the piston and cleaning and lubricating them is THE single most important maintenance item on the infuser.
Thanks for the feedback. I didnt realise you could get food safe silicon grease. I see now you can also buy the o-rings for the magnifica, so I will do another video. Thanks again :)
Sound advice
@@TheCrazyChef you are humble and open to the advice of others, good job chap!!
@@TheCrazyChef take this one down then
Thank you, finally it works fine. BTW I used a little vaseline to lubricate ,
You are the MAN, same issue with my stuff just pass. Thanks ma men👍
Thanks, didn't know silver went down
Thank you so very much for this ❤
Thank you!
The machine was designed to not need lubricant. When you wash it you can open and close the basket mechanism whilst under water in the sink and it cleans it. Use 2 to 3 drops of dishwasher liquid to break the water tension if needed.
If it’s not working because it’s jamming you could just replace it.
Mine was working for more than a year just by washing it. Then it began to stick and jam up that is why I used olive oil to lubricate it. But now I have found some replacement rubber seals to service it with.
I’ve plugged mine back in for the first time in ages, but I cannot get the water to flow. I’ve tried doing a de-scale, but it won’t go into the rescale mode. I’ve cleaned the water tank and it’s connectors, but still not getting any waterflow. Recommendations?
First switch it off or unplug it from the wall socket. Turn it on again and all the lights will flash on and off and cleaning water will flow. If still a problem open the door and pull the impeller unit out and clean it . Does the steam function work
Big thanks you safe life 🙏
Hi, I'm about to order one on these machines and this will be handy vid for future maintenance thank. I am limited for counter space and so intend to leave the drip tray off when not in use. Can you please tell me the distance the corners of the machine (without drip tray) would be if it was pushed flush to the back wall?
The depth from the back to the front without the drip tray is 25.5cm or 10 inches. The width of the device without the drip tray is 28cm or 11 inches. Note that the power cable comes out of the back of the machine but is flexible but may need a small amount of clearance.
Old comment I know but for anyone else thinking of buying, the machine will not function if the drip tray/grinds bin isn't fitted although its just a simple switch and could probably be modified to bypass. Wouldn't recommend it as the machine does rinse cycles periodically and will cut out once the drip tray is full to stop flooding. Its a good machine the coffee is great, only gripe is there's no easy way to remove old beans from the grinder compartment.
I have the same glasses actually *g
Infuser will not come out when I follow the directions. It is stuck
Turn the machine completely off, then on. If it hasnt completed a off cycle it will jam, and you may even not be able to open it up.
Chef, purchase a service kit and replace all orings and the metal screen
all ready got them😀
You should not use oil of any kind. Only use food safe grease, it lubricates far better and lasts much longer on the plastic surface.
its cooking oil have tried othet stuff
You didn’t clean the most important thing which is the gaskets and you should put food safe grease round the gaskets.
On reflection I take your point, but I didnt want to unscrew the crosshead screw to see it the top came off. Something to try out. Have you done that and was everything ok.
@@TheCrazyChef you can unscrew the screw- good idea to do this and clean the metal filter. I've just ordered some silicon grease- there are videos showing how to easily take the infusion part apart and you can grease the O-rings as others have said.
The spent descaler does a stellar job of cleaning the perforated foil from the top - don't leave it on your skin for long though.
My infuser is stuck what should i do?
If not damaged place it in some warm water to soak. Then try pressing the top down to loosen it up. Apply some vegetable oil to loosen it up. I am assuming you can take it out of the machine
Just start the machine again, mine was stuck thought that's it, bought a new one ,there is a video showing how to do it simply start the machine again, infuser is back in same position, if not, turn it off, start again, I tried 2 times and the infuser is back to its same position, now I have 2 coffee machine 😮
If you make a service video, you must show what you are doing
Sorry but that is not good advice. You need to pop the clip and silicone grease the orings or replace if necessary. Using veg oil to grease the outside of the piston is almost useless.
I agree, I have replacement rings and food safe silicon type grease. The initial video was designed to be a quick fix, which in reality has to be done quite often. I do intend to do an update which is more lasting.
@@TheCrazyChef This erroneous and misleading video should be deleted.
what is your solution then
@@TheCrazyChef As already been mentioned, you're not supposed to put any type of oil/grease/lube where you put it, and you failed to do the main thing one is supposed to do in servicing the diffuser, and that is to remove the piston, and remove and clean and lube the O-rings with food-safe grease (or replace the O-rings with new ones).
