Question 1

My RUSSELL HOBBS 2337056 coffee machine is not working after descaling - what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If your RUSSELL HOBBS 2337056 coffee machine is not working after descaling, the problem is likely due to an incomplete rinsing cycle. The descaling process for this machine consists of two mandatory phases: first, the vinegar self-cleaning cycle (approximately 45 minutes), followed by 2 to 3 complete rinses with pure water only to eliminate all vinegar residues. This rinsing step is often forgotten or insufficient.

Complete descaling steps: Fill the reservoir with 500 ml of white vinegar and 500 ml of water in the carafe, pour the mixture into the reservoir without exceeding the MAX mark, close the lid, place the carafe back on the hot plate, plug in the device, and then press the i button (the indicator lights up and the e icon appears). The machine will then execute its self-cleaning cycle. Once completed (approximately 45 minutes), the device will automatically turn off.

Essential rinsing phase: Now fill the reservoir only with pure water up to the MAX mark, and start a complete cycle without coffee and without vinegar. Wait for the machine to finish. Repeat this operation 2 or 3 more times with pure water only, until you no longer smell vinegar. This phase cleans the internal circuits and restores normal operation.

Checks after descaling: Ensure that the water reservoir is filled to the MAX mark, that the lid is properly closed and locked, and that the carafe is correctly placed on the hot plate. Check that the power button responds when pressed and that the indicator light illuminates. If the device does not respond at all, unplug it for 30 seconds and then plug it back in to reset the electronic system that may have been disrupted.

If the problem persists: Check that all components (filter, filter holder, carafe) are correctly in place. Manually clean the filter holder and carafe with soapy hot water and rinse them thoroughly to remove any soap or residue.

Question 2

How to reset or restart my RUSSELL HOBBS 2337056 coffee machine that is not working?

Accepted Answer

If your RUSSELL HOBBS 2337056 coffee machine is not functioning properly, here are the steps to try before a complete reset:

Basic Troubleshooting

Check that the water reservoir is filled to the MAX marking (maximum capacity: 1.25L)
Ensure that the device is properly plugged in and turned on
Wait a few seconds after pressing the ⚙ (Start) button to initiate the brewing cycle
If the machine stops automatically, this is normal: it turns off after 40 minutes of keeping warm

Complete Reset

The documentation for this machine does not specify a specific reset procedure by buttons or combinations. Generally, for this type of programmable coffee machine, try:

Unplug the device for 30 seconds, then plug it back in
Check that the time settings (hr/min buttons) are not incorrect, as they may block certain functions
Clean the interior according to the descaling procedure: use a mixture of 500ml of white vinegar + 500ml of water to remove limescale deposits that may block operation

If the device still does not restart after these steps, contact RUSSELL HOBBS support: the warranty covers 2 years from the date of purchase.

Question 3

How to use the RUSSELL HOBBS Chester 2067056 coffee machine to brew coffee?

Accepted Answer

Your RUSSELL HOBBS Chester 2067056 coffee machine is a filter coffee maker with a thermal carafe that has a capacity of 1.25 liters. Here’s how to use it correctly to brew coffee:

Before first use, fill the water reservoir up to the maximum mark and turn the machine on without coffee. Also rinse the carafe with hot water to preheat it, which prevents it from absorbing the heat from the coffee.

To prepare your coffee, follow these steps:

Remove the carafe from the base.
Use the insert to lift the lid and access the water reservoir.
Fill the reservoir with the exact amount of water needed (the reservoir has a maximum capacity of 1.25 liters).
Open a #4 filter and place it in the filter holder.
Pour 1 measure of ground coffee into the filter for each cup (about one tablespoon per cup).
Close the lid and press down to lock it properly.
Put the carafe back on the base.

To start and brew the coffee, press button 2: the button lights up and shortly after, the coffee begins to brew into the carafe. During brewing, you can stop the machine at any time by pressing button 2 again. Once brewing is complete (time varies depending on the amount of water), the device beeps 5 times in succession, then turns off automatically. Then set the switch to 0.

To pour your coffee, remove the carafe from the base and rotate the lid 90° to align the notch with the spout. After serving, close the lid. Important note: coffee beans retain some water, so the amount of liquid in the carafe will be slightly less than the amount of water poured into the reservoir.
