ORANGE Flashing Light FAULT on NESPRESSO EXPERT - Can I FIX it?

[@jo0lst]

surely a coffee break fix?! :P

[@abzhuofficial]

Ba-dum tssssss

[@lestat1uk]

and don't call me Surely!

[@Shinquapin]

Hey Vince, your variety is why I really like your channel. As you implied, general troubleshooting works for many different devices, and discovering fixes for something may yield the same results on something entirely different. Thank you!

[@leebryant5443]

Hello from the US Vince loved the video as usual. I always learn something from watching you work on this stuff. I know you always say it’s for entertainment purposes only but I always learn .

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

Just a seized Motor.. you are right, it is very interesting how an old toy can have the same Problem as a modern coffee machine. That shows, how little we evolved in some parts or how many old inventions get used in new products.

[@lawrencemanning]

@@TheSkaldenmettrunk I doubt the basic design for a DC motor has changed much in 150 years.

[@AtomSquirrel]

@@lawrencemanningwe made them smaller. That’s about it. It’s still a copper winding. We also made them brushless. Now, brushless ones were invented in the 60s, so we haven’t come very far in the past 60 years

[@rondickson1491]

What a neat fix! Always enjoy your videos, long or short. My favorite u-tuber! Best wishes from the USA!

[@TheBrokenPast]

Great fix, Vince! Nice and easy (for someone like you who knows what they're doing!) That Nespresso does look like it can make a nice cup of coffee from a capsule. I have a Keurig that I use periodically, and the coffee that it makes isn't nearly as creamy and full as your Nespresso. But I do like how on mine, when I raise the lid to put a capsule in it, the simple act of lowing the lid back down and pressing it closed manually punctures the cup on both sides, making it ready for use. Who needs a motor and an entire movable mechanism, that can be a point of failure? Sometimes simplicity is key!

[@Mymatevince]

Thanks, I think it is a way to simply charge more. I completely agree with you. It is no bother at all to manually move a lever, it takes 1 second to do. Just adding pointless complexity!👍

[@drorhaz]

I hate and love those tea break fix videos.. love them because its a video of vince and hate them bacause they very short!

[@FlamingPhoenix40]

My parents had one of these, garbage machine for the price. Broke after a year. Had it repaired under warranty, broke again after a year in the exact same way. Some friends had the same machine, same issues. Even in the store they admitted this model had a lot of problems and came back often. I have an essenza mini myself, which you did a repair on in the past, which has been going strong for 5 years now, even with me not neccessarily taking the best care of it with descaling and stuff haha

[@steelcityreseller8170]

I have a toy from, I think, the 60's. It's a little cup, you put your dice in there, it shakes them up and tips the cup over to roll dice for you. Got it from a church thrift store. Didn't work. I heard Vince in my head "the motor's seized...the motor's seized!" Sure enough, turned the motor a couple times, batteries back in, works like a charm. Wish everybody knew to check a seized motor first instead of just assuming something doesn't work and throwing it out.

[@colinboneham7387]

I’m a Tassimo man, love mine and the drinks range is great esp the Baileys Latte.

[@maniatore2006]

That's why i always say, some devices stands itself broken, if they not be used. Thank you for that video.

[@wisher21uk]

Nice fix Vince well done thanks for sharing 😊

[@Mymatevince]

Thanks Gary😎

[@CallumFaulds1]

We've gone backwards. Why do modern devices have so much tech in them? The more that is manually done by the end user, the better as there's less to fail and the device will last longer. I'm not saying the user should have to do absolutely everything because that would be inconvenient but would it hurt if they moved a plastic piece to puncture the capsule manually? Surely it wouldn't.

[@HanCurunyr]

All nespresso machines uses motors to puncture the capsules in the last decade, only very old machines uses a lever to make the user do it There is a machine called Caffitaly that all models, the user punctures the capsules, because the lid is also a lever, you have to apply a tid bit of force,. but its one less point of failure for the machine

[@TrueBrit1]

Hey Vince - try Kaffekapslen for pods, as you can get 10 from just £1, and many packs of 10 pods for between £1 and £1.40. Also 100 pod packs for around £10 or so.

[@makedaevilmage]

This is how fixed a Playstation 1 earlier today. Just get the laser motor moving. The PS1 wasn't reading discs because the motor of the laser was seased up.

[@lawrencemanning]

@@makedaevilmage also a common problem on old hard disks. A few years ago got the data off an old (late 90s) laptop disk by flicking the platters with a finger while it was trying to start. Was a bit hairy and hardly clean room work but it got the job done.

[@Blue-Crits]

Gotta love motors 😂

[@Pipkins0263]

An nice cup of coffee ☕ please 😂😂 0:25

[@brentnearhood8874]

Thanks! Vince

[@yenzokuhle1705]

Vince you could've cooked here 😁 *Coffee break fix

[@mitchd949]

I had a client about 5 years ago that had these machines in the office. It was annoying if you sat anywhere near one of them because silent or quiet they are NOT.

[@Roman00744]

I see you got the LTT screwdriver, I'm guessing you used a few of that kind of drivers and would love to know your thoughts, is it worth the pretty high 69$ price? I bought the Wiha + Xiaomi driver a few years ago and very happy with it but you can never have enough tools and I am considering buying the LTT driver but after shipping it's closer to 100$ for me and that's a bit much for a driver.

[@djm9937]

Vince, Do you have a Dreamcast? I have an Beharbros Akura vga to hdmi adapter that's faulty. No point sending it to you if you can't test it. Might be an interesting fix?

[@teknikal6969]

Interesting I sometimes get tempted to buy one of these when I see them on special offers but seeing the amount of coffee you got for a capsule I think I've been put off the idea. Those capsules are expensive aren't they and I think you got maybe an inch of coffee. I don't doubt the coffees probably nice but yeah I'll stick to instant.

[@lawrencemanning]

@@teknikal6969 you are right to avoid them. They always seemed like a bit of a con to me. Plus you don’t actually know what’s in the capsule. FWIW my coffee choice is a 40 quid hand operated grinder and a fairly basic espresso machine that was about 120 quid off Amazon. I buy kg bags of beans. I stick to black doubles but the wife likes the odd latte which you can make with the steam wand. Moccas are easy too. I didn’t want an integrated grinder as it seems that it’ll be more to go wrong. And I rather like the ritual that goes with hand powered grinding.

[@TragicMike]

You set the machine to deliver the desired amount of coffee, that machine has 3 settings, from factory they are 25ml, 40ml or 110ml depending on the drink you are making, 60 pods are about £10 and more and more of the pods now are switching from aluminium to compostible materials.

[@wheelmonkey00]

in electrical motor workshops the apprentice turn all the motors in the store once a week

[@matt.604]

The simple Nespresso machine with the manual capsule handle is probably an order of magnitude more reliable.

[@lawrencemanning]

@@matt.604 I was thinking as it was coming apart that there’s just too much electronics and “stuff” in there.

[@chrisrobson8540]

ive never had a cafetiere sieze up 🤣🤣🤣

[@davidk6271]

A stove percolator was about as modern as I ever got.

[@Mariooooo]

For me Nespresso is a waste producing system i am not a fan of this.

[@bazahaza]

Maybe you should just have tap water? Even less waste.

[@gordonm2821]

But the coffee is nice

[@AltCutTV]

Sure. But on the other hand it is likely at least a more efficient for low consumption/single users than a regular brewer I suppose. For these type capsules you can also get reusable copper ones, I think. May have seen another design. I'm sure Nespresso won't be too happy about it if it became common use though. 💸 Then there probably be microchips in all these pods soon enough. 🤦‍♂

[@paultansley5528]

I agree, even the guy who designed the coffee capsules regrets his invention, what i do, is after use take the coffee out & when ive 1/2 litre of grounds, add it to my soil outside, it has rejuvenated it way beyond my dreams, I then put the capsules in recycle, some supermarkets do a recycle bag to put the used capsules in for you to then give to them, also ive seen fiel blocks made out of the recycled used coffee, I expect the quantities need arr provided by the big Coffee Takeout chains, not perfect but could be worse🤔

[@Lighting_Desk]

Usually worth doing preventative maintenance while you have it open.

[@djmystareez5961]

Vince you should be working for NASA with a mind like yours.

[@thorhammer6040]

2:44 - I predict it is a sensor on the door or the capsule.

[@tangothecat237]

I watch as many as I can. So many you have streamed

[@paultansley5528]

Those damn little motors strike again, easy enough fix if accessible, absolute 🤬 if you cant🙈 The guy who designed the coffee capsules massively regrets his invention, due to all the waist & plastics. What i do, is after use take the coffee out & when ive 1/2 litre of grounds, add it to my soil outside, it has rejuvenated it way beyond my dreams, I then put the capsules in recycle, some supermarkets do a recycle bag to put the used capsules in for you to then give to them, also ive seen fiel blocks made out of the recycled used coffee, I expect the quantities need arr provided by the big Coffee Takeout chains, not perfect but could be worse🤔

[@SD-MB-BB-CR]

My favorite part 1:20

[@johnbonham7515]

Those Nespresso devices are overly complicated, the other day I repaired a friend’s Aeroccino, the thing has two power supplies (one switching, one capacitive), a thermal sensor, a Hall effect switch, a micro-controller... just to stir milk... bonkers.

[@AltCutTV]

It's to compensate. For not having ones own barista. ☕🤪

[@aldo9923]

That piercing mechanism seems more complicated for no reason

[@309electronics5]

A nice teabreak fix!

[@SD-MB-BB-CR]

11:07 😂😂😂

[@MsJOCKEB]

Result!

[@DJ-SPARKY-REACH-ON-AIR]

Use food grade motor spray and it keep it rust free but most old motors in electric kitchen equipment use inferior material and it rust quickly and it not good it 1 time only then we have to bin it been a sparky fixed stuff for over 30 years

[@NewTestamentDoc]

do you think putting deoxit on the motor somewhere might help or not? depends on the brushes or contacts?

[@marcellipovsky8222]

Hi Vince, this one should be titled "Coffee break fix" 😄There was no tea involved this time😉

[@SD-MB-BB-CR]

10:40 11:00

[@seantoon01]

Lor capsules a pretty crap to be honest…a Nespresso deserves Nespresso capsules, only other ones that go in mine are Costa or Starbucks 😀🤔😂

[@Funkie_Monkey]

You empty the dirty water out the machine but never rinsed out the cup before making the coffee so the cup is not very hygienic 🤦🏻 🤣 I just fixed my coffee machine as the thermal fuse had blown!

[@SpikeXtreme]

If you had the manual it would tell you what the fault light is.

[@andythomas7931]

Nice one mate you need to drink more coffee

[@flyboy5736]

And on power supply probes 🙄

[@cypeman8037]

"It's my one" is that the longer version of "It's mine"?

[@smashyrashy]

Correct

[@afrayedknott1701]

RESULT!!

[@LegendSpecialist]

Where are intros🤷

[@PrivateFosters]

So I guess with this information, it is best to remove your cars electric roof every month to stop the motors from seizing and becoming a problem?

[@flyboy5736]

Dear o dear, still touching the metal on your multimeter probes…

[@Windows95-likes-old-tech]

no intro music!? THE WORLD HAS ENDED

[@StonyMahony825]

Rinsing didn't help, you have to rinse twice. The water circuit is separate and has nothing to do with the coffee circuit

[@router5840]

How much money do people waste on making a cup of coffee when all you have to do is boil a kettle or a pan of water.

[@A7mag3ddon]

How come you didn't try and grease the motor it's only going to stick again 😢

[@dazer123]

You can't add grease to the part that is sticking as it will hold carbon and cause a short in the future

[@gentle285]

So if you stop buying their expensive pods for a month, the machine basically "self-destructs"? What a piece of garbage. Nespresso should be sued.

[@lawrencemanning]

Was a great vid till you added milk to the coffee. That should be a crime!

[@shawnythe18]

❤❤❤

[@Syntax.error.]

In my experience, kickstarting it like this will work for another few months and the same problem will return. The only real fix is to replace the motor.
