Introdução
The incident:
The coffee machine isn't working anymore. It is blinking quickly all the time.
The problem:
The coffee machine needs a magnet in a floater to indicate how much water is in the tank. That magnet was completely oxidized and, therefore, did not work anymore.
The challenge:
Replace the floater with something else to make the machine "believe" that there is still enough water.
O que você precisa
-
-
Attach a strong magnet to the area where the floater normally resides, to make the machine "believe" that there is enough water.
-
The problem with that is the risk, that it can damage the machine and result in a power failure when there is no water.
-
-
-
-
While preparing a coffee, hold a magnet next to the area where the floater resides when there is water in the tank, to make the machine "believe" that there is still a floater, which indicates that there is enough water.
-
Do that only while preparing a coffee. Switch off the machine and remove the magnet when you are done.
-
In this case, I used a magnet from an old hard disk.

-
The alternative would be to buy a replacement water tank (around 21 EUR), which contains a floater with a magnet.

Het is ook zeer wel mogelijk om alleen dat magneetje te vervangen. Dat is gewoon los te koop, en met een beetje handigheid te vervangen. Zie hiervoor de website van repaircafe.nl
Waar kun je zo een magneetje kopen en wat kost dat? Ik wil het wel eens proberen te herstellen, mijn Senseo-vlotter doet het ook niet meer.
@advanheijst , even op Marktplaats zoeken naar "magneet vlotter"
