I tried this with my new machine, and it was very cumbersome. I did a little more research, and you can prime the machine simply by lifting the lever on the machine (where you put the pods in) several times while the pump is running. This allows the machine to push the air out.
omg! I was on the verge of binning our l'or sublime compact after struggling with it for almost a year, and this has finally provided me a fix!!! thank you soo very much!
I tried all these other videos with really ratchet solutions..inflated bags, hoses and syringes..straws 🤦🏻♂️- THANKFULLY I found your video that fixed my machine almost instantly after screwing around for 2 hours with things that weren’t even close to working. Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you! My new Capresso ec100 had same issue. Loud and vibrating. Your truck worked. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m a dad and it’s Father’s Day and now its off to a good start
I had let my reservoir empty while making a coffee - that mistake created the airlock - your resolution fixed it!! I thought that I would have to replace my machine as I t is 5 years old, but, It’s all good, thank you
Thank you for this video! I have a Nespresso Lattissima that sat in storage for almost two years. I thought the machine went bad before trying RUclips and lo and behold I came across your video. Took a good 15 mins with this method but I finally got the machine to pump. Descaled it then made a delicious cup of espresso. Thank you again!!!
I watched the first few videos that popped up on a google search to repair this problem - one just beating the crp out of it, the next putting an inflated plastic bag in it - both epic fails (with those creators laughing secretly in my face)! This is the one that actually worked! Thanks so much! Now my 10+ yr old machine still going strong! A+++++
Just bought a new one and was so worried about needing to get it replaced. This video helped save me a lot of hassle. Thank you so much for this advice!
Thought I'd have to return new machine. This worked in maybe 10 seconds. I could hear it catch (primed?) after three lifts. Thank you SO much!! Didn't have to take the machine apart, etc.
@ArraR1 Same here. It took 35 minutes in total. I had to stop at 15 minutes as the machine was getting hot. It appeared to be working great after 10 minutes as it went from zero to a low trickle but then back to zero after 5 more minutes. I decided to do the rest with a citric acid descaling solution. After 1 hour of letting the machine cool down, I tried again for 10 minutes.. still zero and still a bit hot so left it overnight. Tried again, and after another 10 minutes it finally worked again to the full glory. This is fantastic, especially since the machine is almost 6 years old!! It has mostly (75%) been used with bottled water due to living in an area with very hard water. Maybe I'll get very lucky with another 6 years of use, who knows! Thank You @namanj2 very much for your comment, it really did keep me going! And, of course, Thank You to this RUclips tutor for an absolutely brilliant tutorial!! Sorry for such a long post but I thought it might be helpful to others with an "old" machine as mine. Wishing you all a great day, and Good Luck! 🙂🙏
I repeated it 100 times but didn't work. Then I took of the water resevoir for a while, placed it back, pushed the button and it started pumping water again. Thanks for the tip!
Omg! We were about the toss our machine! I thought, what the hack, give it a try. I thought it’s too simple, it’ll never work! Imagine my surprise!! Ty!,
The Universal mind of RUclips saves the day again! I was one step away from tossing my classic, Nespresso Le Cube D180 in the trash, because none of the steps the Nespresso tech team proposed for "reactivating" the pump worked. This was after I finished some heavy-duty descaling. Then I took a shot in the dark and followed your procedure. Worked right away! That's definitely worth a like and a subscribe! QUESTION: My machine is missing the Drip Tray (Not to be confused with the Cup Shelf or Capsule Container). I already contacted Nespresso, and the have no more stock. Suggestions?
Hi, I don't know if you already found a solution but here's a suggestion: find someone with a 3D printer. The drip tray would probably be fairly easy to replicate, and literally thousands of part designs are available online.
Thanks. I found your video after watching another one that showed how to completely take the machine apart to prime the line. This worked!!! Quick and Easy! Now I am enjoying my Nespresso coffee once again. Thanks for making this video!!
Thank you, it worked! The key was to push down the watertank with some speed, in a way that big air bubbles come out. Unblocked the machine in seconds. Otherwise you will spend a lot of time.
You a life saver Sir. Well at least you saved the life of my Nespresso. This worked perfectly. I had to try several times, but it eventually picked up and I ran a whole water container through. Well Done.
Thank you! Tried to use my machine without water in it😫 thought I’d broke it but came here and saw your fix, much appreciated as it’s up and running again.
Thank you!! Got my old Nespresso machine back from a different office at work, and after ~2 yrs in storage, I thought it was dead. Gave myself a few minutes to look for a fix - and you nailed it. Worked immediately, good as new. Thank you!

Brilliant but be patient - took 10 minutes of doing this before it worked! Had our machine in storage for years and it works perfectly now!

Thank you so much for sharing, pulling the lever several times fixed the problem on the 3rd try! Cheers!
This worked before I even finished watching the video!!! Thank you!!
Finally! You the best

Thank you sir. I just bought the machine and it wasn’t pumping the water but this strategy helped me out.
Thank you.

Wishing you all a great day, and Good Luck! 🙂🙏
You could also just let it sit for 30 minutes and gravity will clear the lock.
Best water pump bleeding video for Nespresso!
Thank you very much! Worked for me! 🔥👍

Genius! If only everyone on youtube was a smart and practical as you are!! Thank you so much for making it so simple!
