Replace/revise DeLonghi ECAM Series flow meter

Introduction

The flow meter measures how much fresh water is pumped into the coffee machine. Various faults can occur, if the sensor itself is defective, the part must be replaced. It is often just clogged/calcified, especially at the inlet port. A thorough cleaning will then be sufficient.

Hi,

kurz vor Weihnachten streikte unsere " PrimaDonna Class ". Ein Gau für jeden Kaffeetrinker. Schnell über Online - Shops zwei Ersatzteile besorgt. Doch sie streikte immer noch. Dann die Wasserzuleitungsschläuche gereinigt. Nein, es gab immer noch keinen frischen Morgenkaffee aus dem heimischen Automaten. Dann ging ich exakt nach Deiner Anleitung vor. Yes! Sie funktioniert wieder.

Vielen Dank für die hilfreichen Tipps und ein schönes Weihnachtsfest.
