The pump cuts out after a few seconds. Everything else OK

The pump cuts out after a few seconds. Happens with or without a capsule being present. The only way I can get the required volume is by holding down the button (right hand one). Heating / delivery volume and speed are normal.

I attempted to reset my machine and this didn’t resolve the issue. However I hadn’t de-scaled my machine before. Hold both espresso and lungo buttons to enter descale mode for 3-5 seconds. It took a few recycles (it should run through the entire tank without stopping) of the water, before that machine kept stopping but now works perfectly running through the entire tank in descaler mode without stopping.

"Hi Nick,

I haven't solved the problem but I've run clean soapy water through the system ( just filled the reservoir and collected and returned it several times)...this seems to have improved the situation. I know there is a flow valve in the guts of the machine but I don't want to open it just yet!

Hope that might improve your situation!"

I have the same problem with my Nespresso Essenza Mini. I unplugged it then plugged it again while holding down the lungo button. It worked!

Machine is making a fast sound like something is wrong with the motor?
