What usually goes wrong

Common DeLonghi faults we fix

A DeLonghi will usually tell you something is wrong before it stops altogether. These are the messages and symptoms that bring most machines to us.

Infuser stuck or “insert infuser assembly”

The brew unit jams part-way through its travel or will not come out. Dried coffee, worn o-rings or a tired drive motor are the usual causes.

General alarm

The catch-all warning. Most often the inside of the machine is heavily soiled, the infuser is binding, or a sensor or transmission fault needs tracing.

Water in the drip tray or inside the machine

Coffee that ends up in the tray instead of the cup points to infuser seals or a leaking valve; water inside the cabinet needs finding before it reaches the electronics.

Weak, watery or no coffee

Worn grinder burrs, a blocked coffee chute, or scale starving the thermoblock of flow. “Ground too fine” messages belong here too.

Milk carafe not frothing

LatteCrema carafes block easily. We strip and clean the carafe head and check the steam circuit feeding it.

Descale or “fill tank” alert will not clear

With a full tank this is usually a flow meter, pump, airlock or scale problem rather than the alert itself.

What a service covers

A proper DeLonghi service

We take the machine apart rather than just running a cleaning cycle, then test it with real coffee before it leaves.

  • Infuser stripped, cleaned, re-greased and o-rings renewed
  • Thermoblock and water circuit descaled and flushed
  • Grinder cleaned and burr wear checked
  • Pump, flow meter and valves tested
  • Milk carafe and steam circuit cleaned through
  • Internal clean-out and test coffees before hand-back
How it works

Three steps, no surprises

1

Book online in a minute

Tell us the model and what it’s doing. We reply the same business day.

2

Drop off or courier

Bring it to Point Cook by appointment, or we organise a courier from anywhere in Australia.

3

Quote, then repair

We inspect it and quote before any work starts. Nothing is charged without your say-so.

Repair or replace?

Not sure your DeLonghi is worth fixing?

A Magnifica or Dinamica with one clear fault is usually well worth repairing. When the infuser, grinder and thermoblock are all worn, it can be better value to move on. Our 60-second check gives you an honest read, and a DeLonghi automatic — working or not — is worth $200 toward a refurbished Jura with a 12-month warranty.

Good to know

DeLonghi repair questions

Do you repair DeLonghi coffee machines in Melbourne?

Yes. We service and repair DeLonghi automatics at our Point Cook workshop in Melbourne’s west, with drop-off by appointment. We can also arrange a courier from anywhere in Melbourne or interstate.

Which DeLonghi models do you service?

Magnifica, Magnifica S and Evo, Dinamica, Eletta, PrimaDonna, plus La Specialista and Dedica manual machines. Send us the model number from the base of the machine if you are unsure.

How much does a DeLonghi service or repair cost?

It depends on the fault and the parts needed, so we do not publish fixed prices. We inspect the machine and quote before any work starts, and nothing is charged without your approval.

What does “general alarm” mean on a DeLonghi?

It is a catch-all warning. Most often the inside of the machine needs a thorough clean or the infuser is binding, but it can also be a sensor or drive fault. It needs opening up to find out, which is what we do before quoting.

My DeLonghi is still under warranty. Should I bring it to you?

Contact the retailer or DeLonghi first. An independent repair may affect the manufacturer’s warranty, so we recommend coming to us once that has run out.

What warranty do you give on repairs?

Three months on domestic repairs and six months on commercial machines, covering the parts we replace and our labour.

Ready when you are

Book your DeLonghi in

The form takes about a minute and we come back to you the same business day with the next step.

When a repair is not the right answer

Sometimes the parts cost more than the machine is worth, and we will say so rather than take the job. When that happens we put $200 of your old machine towards a refurbished one instead — whatever brand you are bringing us, working or not.
