Nespresso U - Step by step repair guide KRUPS XN250

[@sampercar]

Four years later to your post and it was still very helpful. I didn’t find the part anywhere in Mexico but following your advice I glued with epoxic and … problem solved!!! Thanks

[@Befetti]

Not only the best video on this problem that I have found on the Internet, but Adrian also provides a DIY fix for those inclined. WELL DONE!

[@fevrierm]

TYSM!!!! I used this video to diagnose and repair my Nespresso U (D50) made in Hungary. The biggest problem was figuring out what tool I needed to unscrew the 3 screws to open the housing. For those in the US I bought a Titan "tamper proof star key "set for $10 -a very worthwhile investment. The T-10 star shaped screwdriver with a central depression fit the tiny screws in my machine which may differ by manufacturer I did the same repair in the video using a thick piece of wire from jewelry making and gluing it as per the video. I later found the part on eBay for around 20 dollars but so far my repair has been working. I could not have done this without this video! Thank you again!

[@philmastronardi]

wow. Thank you for the video. I have a couple of broken nozzles. Can't find a good place to buy them again. Now that I found you video, I'm so happy I kept the old nozzles. I will fix and continue having great coffee again. Thanks Adrian!!!!

[@pauloconnor2573]

First class tutorial. I made my metal pin from a cut down sewing needle and my coffee machine is now working perfectly again. Thank you so much.

[@marcstein1187]

Thkx a lot Adrian, great repair café!! In my case the clips were not broken. Only the noozle was no more fixed. By the way, my model has a third screw located behind close to watertank which you need to unscrew to take over the cover. Torx are TORX BO TX 10 which a whole in the middle

[@xrayban2]

Same as mine, the lower clip was broken. So I don't see what's wrong on the noozle from the tutorial, it looks like mine (without the metal pin) ?

[@justusamsterdam]

Great video! An easier way to remove the nozzle is to run the machine and then pull the plug when the main part has moved to the back. Plug it back in when you have reinstalled the nozzle and it will move back into place.

[@willtwilson]

This was the method I used. Didn’t need to take the case off, no Torx screwdriver required.

[@danielschiffer2082]

Super video that helped me to fix my nespresso UMilk. Instead of fixing it with a small metal rod like you I just bought a new nozzle for small money.

[@benassy69]

Great! This is what I also recommended. I only repaired with the rod since I could not find the spare part in my country.

[@consuminglight]

Cheers. I snapped part of a sewing needle for mine, and used super glue and baking soda to instantly dry and make it extra strong. Works well cause the motor made the part clash with the bucket part and it survived it. I then adjusted everything correctly and it works perfect. Just remember to have overhangs because my first attempt I cut it too short and noticed that you need the overhangs as it slides into the little tip bucket to tilt it forward.

[@type17]

Just fixed my sister-in-law's Nespresso XN250 using this method, thanks so much. A tip is to use a section of spare/broken stainless steel spoke from a bicycle wheel, so there are no potential issues with rust.

Hi friend, I’m Brazilian and I’d like to thank you for the video, I’m sure that the best explanation. My problem was solved and I’m so happy. Sorry for my poor english. Thanks for it, God bless you

[@wildhawthorn5912]

Thanks for the video. When I got to the steam spout, it had failed in a different way - bottom clip had broken. But the instruction was still valid, and our machine is now working again. Luckily I got a spare from EBay for £6.

[@boydkoers]

Hi Adrian...DAMN! You just fixed my machine! I ordered the nozzle and BAM it was fixed. You saved my life and 150 euro's for a new machine! Many, many thanks from The Netherlands!

[@VincenzoManzoni]

Following your tutorial I’ve fixed my Nespresso! Thank you!

[@benassy69]

I am glad it was helpful!

[@rafasimsim]

I am quite sure that the small plastic piece is designed and expected to get broken by the makers on purpose. Luckily our friend Adrian suggested a clever solution. My respects!! 👏👏👏👏You have a beer on me in Barcelona, mate.

[@richardnotley9164]

Precisely the same problem on my 9 year old machine. Simple, cheap fix. Saves it from going to landfill 😄

[@ohadrubinstein3278]

Amazing video. Fixed it in 15min (waiting for epoxy to dry was the longest part...). Thanks Adrian!

[@priseli]

Thank you very much! With your help I succeed to repair my nespresso c-50 machine which I was going to throw out into the trash bin!

[@mark3863]

Great tutorial, saved my machine; much appreciated from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦

[@benassy69]

Glad it was helpful.

[@julianmason5112]

Brilliant video. Easy to follow and now I have a working machine for the cost of a £4 nozzle. Many thanks!!!

[@sshiguti]

Hello from Brazil! This is the best tutorial I have found! I faced same the same problem with my Nespresso machine. I glued the metal rod with super glue (CA glue) and sodium bicarbonate. It's working perfectly now. Thank you so much!

[@benassy69]

Glad it helped!

[@cineyseriespararecomendar3444]

Hi. She had detached the mouthpiece. Your video helped me take it apart and lock the part in place. I save the cost of repair. Thank you very much

[@MickaelGuidot]

Thank you very much ! Price of the piece : 5 euros. So Thank you very much for this very useful video !

[@1965stevieboy]

amazing - fixed my machine (twice now, obviously weak design) - thank you so much

[@tinapigors1435]

I got my machine off an auction site for $15 and I am determined to fix it. Matter of principle. Thank you for your excellent video. So far all going good !

[@najemefa]

Thank You very much for this clear tutorial. I wanted to buy another machine cause I hadn't taken a coffee since one week ago. Finally you've let me save my machine!!

[@benassy69]

I'm glad I could help.

[@lauramorosi8959]

Helpful! Followed the instructions and actually found out that the machine had pieces of plastic falling off as looked like melted.. probably been drinking this stuff 😢 mine is going in the bin but the video was helpful. Thanks

[@manusharma1518]

Thanks Adrian, you seem to be a very cool professional. Very nice video. I was worried that I'll have to spend huge amount on a new Nespresso and discard my existing beautiful Krups. You saved me man. Wish you well buddy, Manu

[@adolphochacon7984]

Adrian, I fixed my Nespresso U with your tip. Thanks a lot!

[@cmonuhorns]

Thank you, fixed it for next to nothing and saved hundreds buying a new one….i owe you a beer!

[@waterapple1979]

I had the same problem ... I did what you show in the video and it works perfectly ... thank you very much!!!!!

[@fredericcolliaux1800]

Thank you. Perfect. I could repair my coffe machine thanks to your video

[@heraz2711]

Thank you. I tried to pull the side and found your video. Very handy 😊

[@svenvonrandow5669]

Thanks. That saved me buying a new Machine.

[@tra469studio7]

Thanks a million for this, saved me buying a new machine!

[@임과학-e7d]

Thank you~~~! You are the best engineer.

[@loiteringpalely]

Thank you so so much! That was really easy to follow. I managed to use a tiny flathead screwdriver (and pliers for leverage) as I didn’t have the right torx bit.

[@GloriaTareco]

Hello, Adrian B.! Your video helped me to fix my coffee machine at first attempt! :-) Thank you from Portugal!

[@mobime6682]

I'm another happy customer! Luckily I was able to order the part for 10 euros including delivery and easily repair. Thank you!!

[@marmorabass]

Really saved my life..and your explaination is very clear and my machine is working again...

[@Leeroy_Hawking]

Great guide! You just save my coffeemachine from dropping out! Thanks from Russia!

[@queenodoubt]

Hello, Adrian! Greetings from Buenos Aires! We found your video some months ago while we were looking for tutorials on how to solve the exact same problem. It was a bit hard for me to get the necessary screwdrivers but after some weeks, I could get them and yesterday I opened my machine and followed your steps. I have just assembled the machine again and it is working perfectly! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@benassy69]

Hello Leandro! I'm so glad it helped! 👍

[@lucwerner]

VERY nice tutorial, Adrian! I just had to do the same repair to my U. Though I generally followed your guide, a did a few things differently. Mainly, I used a stainless steel nail cut to size (20 mm). I opted to use a stainless steel rod so that I didn't need to bother with corrosion in the long run. Second, to glue the nail/rod in place, I first carved a shallow groove on the plastic of the nozzle so that the rod would be more firmly positioned for the glue job. And I used cyanoacrylate glue (superglue) to fix the rod in place. However, normally superglue would have a hard time adhering metal (specially ss) to that kind of plastic (ABS?). So, to overcome this, I first roughed up a bit the surface of the plastic and also filed the nail, leaving small notches all over it's length, to increase the surface where the glue would act. And most important of all, I sprinkled baking soda over the area after appling the superglue. The result was an acrylic-like surface over the nail and the the surface of the nozzle, keeping the nail firmly in place. The end result was prettyy strong, to the point that I think that if I tried to prye out the nail, it would rip chunks off the blak plastic with it. Moreover, not counting the very strong bond, it cures in seconds, so right after cleaning the baking soda and washing/brushing everything up I could assemble the machine back together. Cyanoacrylate glue can easily handle the temperature of a Nespresso machine, and with the baking soda mixed in it's safe to use there.

[@benassy69]

Great job! Sounds like it Will last for a long Time.

[@lyntonward4864]

You sir, are an absolute legend, beautiful tutorial and I was able to fix mine step by step 👍

[@rlavila]

thank you for your video. my machine is repaired and making coffee again.

[@muzik253]

[@nagypeeter]

[@fadegboye]

Great tutorial on fixing the Nespresso U! Many thanks! 👍

[@a.alredhaa]

Hi Adrian, you saved my Nespresso machine with this tutorial. Thank you very much for the video!

[@olli4611]

Perfect tutorial and especialy the repair with the metal and glue will prevent the mashine from breaking again! Great guy :-)

[@Yurkaman1045]

Muchas gracias Adrian, mi padre siguió tus instrucciones y arregló la cafetera u milk 👏

[@ulrichvanzyl6592]

Thank you, Adrian. You just help me fix our U Milk Nespresso and saved us a lot of money.

[@tomjarvis2711]

Just saved me buying a new machine. Great video mate 👌

[@Alfacanis983]

3 años de este video y mi Umilk esta en las mismas condiciones, lo peor es que la pieza ya no la fabrican😢 encontrar su video me dio la esperanza de volver a ver funcionando mi cafetera, dios lo bendiga😄🙏🏾 Saludos desde Mexico

[@guerreroraf]

Hi Adrian! It worked, thanks for the tip! Plus the fun to do something practical instead of buying a new one.

[@imranebennageh7592]

Awsome tutorial Keep helping people on stuff like that

[@martinwozenilek485]

Perfect, got the exchange part for a few Euro and with this video it was a very easy repair! ✌️

[@kerem-mevlutkartal7868]

Hi Martin, do you have a part number you could share with me? Thank you :)

[@MrAslanS]

Спасибо, Адриан! Я знал, что проблему можно решить заменой "носика". А вот восстановить его работоспособность я смог посмотрев это видео.

[@michaeldreelan5706]

Sensational work through - to echo Lynton - you sir, are an absolute legend - awesome - thank you from Dublin

[@teresa5636]

Many thanks!! I was able to fix my nespresso machine and it is working perfectly now! :)

[@MarianaNewport]

Thank you from Brazil, now I'm not forced to upgrade

[@milanfrydecky]

Extra tip: these special torx screws can be easily removed by flat crewdriver of the same size :)

[@DavidMartinez-ig7uv]

it's crazy but it's still usefull :D i did the exact same fix and it works like a charm. thanks.

[@ninal5027]

A good how-to video. But I'd rather see how the cables are detached, because I did it only once and now have no idea of how to remove it again - these sit way to firmly in its nests. BTW, a Torx is not needed here - use a flat screwdriver and put it so it grabs any two notches in the screw's head. Works perfectly for me.

[@lucinku]

The best helping video for me. THX A LOT!

[@benassy69]

U r welcome

[@nellymariarau7640]

Thank you for the video, very clear. and the metal pin attached with epoxi, will be more durable than the 2 small original plastic part

[@cristianofreitaslima]

Amazing Adrian! Thank you very much, the video helped me solve the problem of my machine.

[@meneermeyer]

Thanks for the clear instructions on how to open it. Apparently it also works for magimix machines 😅 Got a different problem, but it's fixed now

[@Trading_Academy_Ilan]

[@benassy69]

☹️ i recommend changing the part not repairing it for a long term use...

[@simonlam6767]

Good video. Clearly show the steps to repair. May I know use which size of screwdriver to open the cover? Torx T10 ?

[@jfkgoogle]

Thanks a lot. I have the same problem. And solved !!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@JohnWilliams-cb9vn]

Hi Adrian Thanks for a great repair I unfortunately have a small part left over! I think it is a spring unit for the button and I cannot figure out how to replace it The small part has four tiny five mm springs

[@FannyFelic]

Thank you so much, this was super helpful. Also my machine is leaking just before the cup, do you have a guidance for that part as well? 🙏

[@MrLoop19ant]

Thank you so much, greatly appreciated the video!!!

[@RaadBilbeisi]

Thank you. You've been very helpful. Great work!

[@sergemourer5138]

Merci beaucoup Clair et très sympa Bon dimanche Serge

[@rachellibrett335]

Great instructions which I followed exactly and replaced the nozzle. Even though some fluid comes through the nozzle, about half still empties into the back. What do I do now?

[@arthurvandijk9901]

thanks a lot Adrian! very clear explanations and videos. My XN250 is leaking water from the pump towards the capsule area. Do you have a tutorial for that too? Cheers

[@dravid888]

Amazing. Thanks for helping me. I had this problem. 👍

[@soyouc]

Merci - Tuto simple et claire et pédagogique - je vais tenter de sauver ma machine - merci encore

[@benassy69]

Avec plaisir!

[@GetMoreMellow]

hi Adrian, Happy New Year 2024. So I'm working on a Nespresso Krups milk with the slide function and automatic capsule drop into the container underneath. Must say the more functions there are, the more things that may possibly go wrong. I was doing the one job that is now done, but when I reconnected the top part that has the 3 buttons for small, medium and large coffee, the lights had stopped working, the functions still work, but no lights. Wonder if you know what that is, maybe i short-circuited the green electronics panel housed under the buttons, I took that apart today, it all looks ok. I have another machine, almost the same model, maybe I'll take the little connector off that and see if it is that that is wrong, but as that machine is not6 mine, I may read up on it all tonight, see if I can find some info.

[@ThomasThamm17]

Super Video. Verständlich erklärt. Vielen Dank

[@g.a.vanegdom1390]

Thanks. Another machine saved from landfill

[@victordort]

Fantastic man. Thank you for this video. This was exactly what i needed.

[@mendesrui]

Thank you, this helped a lot!

[@JeroenCoelen]

Adrian, do you know how to get the diffuser out for cleaning on this type of Nespresso? On the other machines where the user applies the force for perforating, I seen videos of people removing that entire unit. I get a sense mine is rather blocked. Tried cleaning it with a tooth brush but to no avail.
