Removal of side covers, Nespresso coffee machine, Krups XN100 model Coffee outlet clogged

Guide covers disassembly of the side covers of the KRUPS Nespresso XN100 coffee machine.

In this machine, removing the covers is mandatory, in order to be able to disassemble the movable front, 'coffee outlet nozzle', the covers hide a small gap, around the contour of the cover, on both sides, via which the front is disassembled by prying.

First "Secret" of this machine, the capsule press lever has to be in a certain position—completely closed, otherwise the side covers can't be removed.

The covers only come off in this position, since the cover has a cutout on the right side and the handle supports must align with that cutout.

To remove the two side screws we use a T10 Torx screwdriver, included in the IFIXIT screwdriver bit kit...

The covers of this machine do not use screws, so you have to pry them with a spatula or prying tool, carefully all along the contour of the machine.

With the lid unlatched along its entire length, on both sides, and the handle placed in the cover removal position (capsule press closed), we are left with two latches in the shape of a square ring that joins one lid to the other at the top. We must open the V-shaped lid as if it were a book, since they can break.

I wasn't able to take a specific photo of this detail, so I mark the area of ​​the upper latches in one of the previous photos.

So far the part of removing the covers, in another Guide. I continue with the disassembly of the coffee outlet parrot spout, where the clogs are generated.
