WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE
Your Barista Express may suddenly develop a loud or unusual buzzing noise.
It might happen as soon as the machine is switched on, or only when you try to make coffee, dispense hot water or use another function. You may also notice a change in water flow at the same time.
SAFE NEXT STEP
If it is safe to do so, take a short video of the noise. This can be useful when booking the machine in and may help us understand when the fault occurs.
Stop using the machine if the buzzing is accompanied by excessive heat, a burning smell, smoke or a power fault.
HOW WE CAN HELP
The point at which the buzzing starts, and whether it is accompanied by a change in water flow, gives us useful clues about what is happening inside the machine.
There are several components that can produce this type of noise, so we can inspect the machine, reproduce the fault and identify the underlying cause before repairing it.
