Jura E8 Coffee Machine
19 fault codes documented
'Clean machine' displayed — Machine requires cleaning
The E8 is prompting you to perform a cleaning cycle. Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining optimal coffee quality and the longevity of your machine.
Coffee only drips — Coffee ground too finely or descaling needed
When coffee is being prepared, it comes out very slowly, only in drips, instead of a steady stream. This can be caused by coffee ground too finely or a need for descaling.
Coffee only comes out in drips — Coffee is ground too finely or water hardness is incorrect
If coffee only comes out in drips, it often means the coffee is ground too finely, obstructing the system, or there might be an issue with limescale due to incorrect water hardness settings.
'Decalcify machine' displayed — Machine requires descaling
The E8 is prompting you to descale it. Descaling removes limescale deposits that can build up over time, which can affect the machine's performance and the taste of your coffee.
'Drip tray not fitted' displayed — Drip tray is missing or incorrectly inserted
The machine displays 'Drip tray not fitted' because the drip tray is either not inserted correctly or is not in the machine at all. Product preparation is not possible.
'Empty coffee grounds container' displayed — Coffee grounds container is full
The machine displays 'Empty coffee grounds container' because the container is full. You cannot prepare any products until it is emptied. Always empty the container when the machine is switched on to reset the counter.
ERROR 2 or ERROR 5 — Machine exposed to cold
These error messages appear if your JURA coffee machine has been exposed to cold temperatures for an extended period. The heating function may be disabled as a safety precaution.
'ERROR 2' or 'ERROR 5' displayed — Machine exposed to cold
The machine displays 'ERROR 2' or 'ERROR 5'. This typically happens if the machine has been exposed to cold temperatures for an extended period, which can disable heating for safety reasons.
'Fill bean container' displayed — Bean container is empty
The machine displays 'Fill bean container' because the bean container is empty. You can still prepare hot water and milk, but not specialty coffees that require beans.
'Fill water tank' displayed — Water tank is empty
The machine displays 'Fill water tank' because the water tank is empty. You will not be able to prepare any products until it is refilled.
'Fill water tank' displayed — Limescale in water tank
The machine displays the message 'Fill water tank' even though the water tank is visibly full. This often indicates a significant buildup of limescale inside the water tank.
'Fill water tank' displayed though water tank is full — Limescale in the water tank
The machine displays 'Fill water tank' even though the water tank is visibly full. This issue typically arises from a significant buildup of limescale affecting the water level sensor within the tank.
Insufficient foam or milk sprays from frother — Frother is dirty
When preparing milk foam, either not enough foam is produced or milk sprays out unexpectedly from the professional fine foam frother. This indicates that the frother might be dirty.
Little or no water/steam from frother, pump quiet — Frother connector blocked
Very little or no water or steam is dispensed from the fine foam frother, and the pump sound is unusually quiet. This suggests that the connector of the fine foam frother might be blocked.
Grinder making loud noise — Foreign objects in grinder
The coffee grinder produces an unusually loud noise during its operation. This typically indicates that foreign objects may have entered the grinder mechanism.
Other ERROR messages — General unidentifiable fault
If any error message other than 'ERROR 2' or 'ERROR 5' appears on the display, it indicates a general fault that requires attention. The specific cause is not detailed.
Filter symbol lights up red — Filter cartridge no longer works
The blue filter symbol at the bottom of the display has turned red, indicating that the CLEARYL Smart filter cartridge is exhausted and no longer effective.
'Rinse the milk system' displayed — Milk system requires rinsing
The E8 prompts you to perform a milk system rinse. This is a crucial maintenance step to ensure hygiene and proper functioning of the fine foam frother, especially after preparing milk.
'Too hot' displayed — System is too hot for maintenance
The machine displays 'Too hot', indicating that the system's internal temperature is currently too high to safely initiate a maintenance program.
