Siemens eq. 6 plus s500, add still water or replace the filter

Hello.
While making coffee, the message "add still water or replace filter" was displayed. I added water, replaced the filter and made other options described by the manufacturer in the instructions. However, it is still the same, i.e. it rinses the filter and fills the condensate container. Anyone had a similar problem and solved it?

It looks like there is no reading from the flow meter.

I'm tapping into the problem: I've been getting the same error for a month, the coffee machine was replaced at the service center, no improvement, replaced with a new model - still error. I took it to another house - it works flawlessly. And now I'm asking for some brainstorming - the reason is with me, but where? The voltage in the socket is correct, the water in the tap is hard, but once I accept it, it works for a few days, then I get the error again and the miracles begin. A lot of coffee went to the trash, because they grind the coffee, but it has a problem with drawing water, sometimes it takes half a cup, sometimes coal, the original filter, now it even pours water, also from the jug filter. The only rule of everything is a place-home.

Hello, someone managed to solve the problem. I have the same message. Is it possible to replace the flow meter or is it possible to fix it without replacing it?

In my case, everything was replaced, nothing helped, then it was decided to buy a completely new device, and again the message on the new unit, the unit was sent to my brother-in-law for testing, it turns out that the fault lies with the electrical system in the house, the old installation was modernized several times, the electricians say even the possibility of some electromagnetic field is also a more serious matter

The coffee machine worked without problems for over 2 years. So I don't think it's an electrical fault. Well, I'll start by disassembling and looking at the pump and flow meter. Thanks for the info

The flow meter will need to be replaced, of course you can try to clean the axis thoroughly and maybe the turbine will help.

"Pour still water", replaced pump, nothing, replaced flow meter, nothing, is it electronics or something completely different

Hello. Yesterday I received the same message, eq. 500 coffee machine, has anyone managed to solve it? Did the service help you?

Hello, my problem turned out to be a clogged upper heater connector. After unblocking it, everything started working.

My Siemens EQ6 s300 coffee machine also received the message "add still water or replace the filter".
I disassembled the coffee machine, specifically the left side. There is a flow meter in the bottom corner. After blowing, there was no "gurgling" sound. I unplugged the plug and hoses and took it apart. Just twist, no screws or latches required. I blew, moved and blew after assembly. Now there was resistance in the air and the sound of the flow meter turning could be heard. After assembly, everything works properly.

Hello. Can you describe step by step how to get to the flow meter? At first I thought it was the infuser's fault and I ordered a new one. It lasted 5 weeks and the same thing happened again. "add still water or replace the filter" I do not have an additional filter because there is no need for it. A new brewer arrived (another one) and after 3 coffees, the same message again and the brewer did not return to the ZERO position. So I'll try with a flow meter. Maybe something hurts there.

I don't remember now because I did it while watching a YouTube video. Try entering the phrase: flow meter siemens eq6.

Approx. I will try this way 👍

I replaced the power module in mine and it works, but this is the last resort.

Yesterday I wanted to clean and descale again and unfortunately I didn't finish. A message appears asking me to add "descaler" and press START. I completed what he asked for and nothing. I try to go further, but after about 8 seconds I get the same message again and again. So now I'm confused as to where the problem could be.

Unfortunately, you have to go to the pump, sometimes it pumps but stops and then the heater, ceramic valve, infuser and all that fun. The customer asks why there is so much, it's just stone.

The same, I wrote a lot of words, I clicked preview, my text disappeared, I encourage you to discourage

sorry for the previous entry
I disassembled the left side of the coffee maker, disassembled the flow meter, reassembled it and the Siemens started. the next day he made 5 more coffees and again informed me to add STILL water. I think there's air in something, I disassembled the machine and I'm at a loss because I didn't expect such a leaky device. crap in every corner, mold around the ground coffee container,

4 years of operation is possible, but the manual does not write about electric shock, only about deeper cleaning procedures

I'm looking at the pump, I'll let you know when I assemble it.

in the meantime I bought Jura, the foam is incomparably better

My heater was completely clogged with scale. Fortunately, it is demountable. Half a teaspoon of stone came out of it. Additionally, at the outlet of the heater there is a connector with a silicone strainer. It was packed there too.

This is rare in these heaters, only with this filter. However, something can always surprise you
