Question 10

What should I do if water is no longer flowing through my DELONGHI EN520.BL coffee machine?

Accepted Answer

If water is no longer flowing through your DELONGHI EN520.BL coffee machine, first check the water reservoir: it should be filled to the maximum level and properly clicked into the machine. An empty or improperly positioned reservoir completely prevents water flow. If the reservoir is full, fill a cup and press the Lungo button without a capsule to test if water is circulating normally.

If water still does not flow, limescale may be blocking the internal circuit. Start a full descaling using the Nespresso descaling kit. You will see an orange alert on the Cappuccino button: fill the reservoir with 100ml of Nespresso descaler diluted in 500ml of drinking water, then press the Cappuccino button. The product will circulate through the coffee outlet and the descaling nozzle for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then follow the rinsing steps with fresh water until the reservoir is empty.

Also check that the capsule is correctly positioned: lift the lever completely, insert an authentic Nespresso capsule (other brands may allow water to flow around), then close the lever completely before testing. A damaged or improperly inserted capsule causes leaks instead of normal water flow.

If after descaling water still does not flow, there may be an internal blockage in the circuit. Before any mechanical handling, perform the system draining operation: turn off the machine, remove the reservoir, place a container under the coffee outlet, then press the Cappuccino and Espresso buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. The machine will drain the circuit and turn off automatically.

After each milk cleaning (if you are using the Rapid Cappuccino System), rinse the system by pressing the Clean button. A lack of maintenance of the steam system or a blockage in the milk suction tube can affect overall circulation.

If despite these steps water still does not flow, or if you observe a leak in the capsule compartment, contact the Nespresso Club. A blockage upstream of the extraction circuit or a malfunction of the Thermoblock system requires professional assistance. The manual recommends not disassembling the machine yourself to avoid any electrical risk.
