Hi,

I have a Melitta Caffeo Barista TS that is showing a No Water error - Please fill and replace water tank - even though there is water in the tank and the tank has been replaced properly.

Has anyone come across this fault before? It seems like a sensor or something is faulty. The machine is just out of warranty so if there is anything I can check before sending it off for (an expensive) repair i'd be really grateful for any help you can give me.

cheers!

If it's just out of warranty, definitely contact Melitta before you do anything.

I'm not sure if it uses a capacitive or refractive sensor, can't remember...it could be the sensor has become displaced or a wire fallen off. Either way talk to Melitta first.

Hi there,

Did you manage to fix the problem? We're struggling with the same one and also would like to avoid sending it for repair as it will cost as much as new Delonghi coffee machine. Our started to have this problem few months after warranty it worked and not worked fir few months and now doesn't work at all. We're so disappointed as it costs lots of money and we've been cleaning it very often and as we've been asked by machine.

Thanks

My barista TS is showing the same problem but there is no level sensor that I can see, just a small turbine which turns when the pump initially primes. The turbine has a detector on it so the machine can tell how fast it turns so I assume it slows down/stops when the water runs out. So it could be either the turbine sensor or the pump not working on initial prime hence the no water/tank warning. Am I correct with this?

"rub on the hole inside in the corner of the water tank"
Thanks - fannied about cleaning all the holes but nothing happened, then today I put a bit of kitchen wipe inside the tank and managed to just squeeze my hand in there and rub round the hole in the corner like you said, which must be part of some sort of optical detector system - to my surprise it started up straight away after that.

Had the same problem but when I looked into the water inlet of the machine it was blocked. This is in the water feed connection that the water tank sits on top off. Noticed there was a lot of dark fibrous material blocking the inlet (I can only assume this is from general household ‘fluff’. Would suggest for anyone with the problem as above check that there is not a build up of material on top of the stainless steel strainer/screen. Once cleaned out the machine runs ok. We noticed immediately that the coffee flow from the feed ‘spouts’ is improved.
