Erstmal: Please accept my apologies for not writing in German. I, sadly, only speak just enough German to not starve and to just get around, when I am in Germany. Sorry. I should have paid more attention in school!
I have a defective Saeco Xsmall which flashes the red "!" quickly when switched on. The water level low light also is red, even when the container is full.
In diagnostics everything works (water pump, heater, grinder, coffe brewer thing on the right side of the machine).
Diagnostics show green !, green temperature and red water level, even though water container is full.
There has clearly been one or more leaks in the machine. There are calcium deposits on some of the internal parts. To me it seems as if all the fabric-covered pipes leak.
One of these leaks has spilled down the side right onto the water level sensor. This was covered in camlcium deposits and green gunk, when I opened the machine. I strongly suspect that this sensor is defect, but how can I test it? A new one doesn't cost much but is out of stock and hard to get.
I would like to test the water level sensor (how does this work by the way, there is nothing on the inside or in the tank?) before ordering a replacement.
Is it possible to temporarily override the sensor to brew a few cups of coffee? I would like to do this also to check for leaks while the machine is open. (No sense in fixing it now to have it fry again on the first cup!)
And again, my sincerest apologies for not being able to write in German. If you can answer my questions but only in German, I do read German (though very slowly.)
