Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine and allow it to cool. Hot water under pressure can cause burns.
Step 1 – Clean coffee spouts:
- Use a cleaning brush or Jura cleaning tool to clear the coffee spouts and outlet channels.
- Run a rinse cycle and check for normal flow.
Step 2 – Check drip tray and sensors:
- Empty and clean the drip tray; ensure the metal contacts or float sensor (depending on model) are clean and dry.
- Reinsert the tray fully.
Step 3 – Descale the hydraulic circuit:
- Run a full descaling cycle to clear scale from valves and hoses.
Step 4 – Internal inspection (advanced):
- Remove the housing (unplug first).
- Inspect for signs of internal leaks around the thermoblock, hoses, and connectors.
- Check the overpressure valve for blockage or sticking; clean or replace if necessary.
Step 5 – Replace faulty parts:
- Replace cracked hoses, leaking O-rings, or a faulty overpressure valve.
- If the leak has damaged the main board or sensors, those components may also need replacement.
