WARNING
Before you do anything to your appliance, make sure you disconnect it from the power supply.
There is a risk of electric shock.
A fault in the power supply
Check the condition where your wall outlet meets your coffee maker. If you see burn marks or it’s damaged, start by replacing it. You can also test the electrical outlet.
An electrical cable is severed
When an electrical cable is cut, it can come into contact with another element of the coffee machine or another wire and cause a short circuit. Help is at hand!
Short circuiting caused by a water leak
In the presence of a water leak, your Delonghi coffee machine may short circuit and cause the electricity meter to disconnect. If this happens, you will need to disassemble your device in order to investigate the origin of this leak. Once the leak has been spotted, it will be sufficient to repair or replace the defective element to resolve the malfunction.
The heating coil is defective
The heating element of your appliance can ground to a halt and cause issues over time. If previous checks have not revealed any anomalies, we invite you to test the heating element/resistor and then replace it if necessary.

Faulty PCB
The electronic card/board of your Delonghi coffee maker manages the entirety of your coffee maker. Unfortunately, if any component of this board is malfunctioning, it will cause your electricity meter to break down. Careful! This is the last element to be blamed in this situation. Since it is quite an expensive spare part, you should only replace it after you have carried out all the previous checks.
