    Hello. After turning on the coffee machine, the pump seems to be working, but water is most likely not being fed to the boiler. I can`t make coffee or clean it because no water comes out. Does anyone have a diagram or can tell me what to disassemble and clean in what order?

    Did you descale at the right time?

    Descale every time the LED lights up.

    There is also no water flowing from the frothing nozzle.

    That is, demolition and searching for the blockage. Alternatively, rule out a pump failure.

    Should the blockage be in the pipes or should I look elsewhere?

    In order: pump > boiler > etc. Unplug the hoses and check.

    The coffee machine has a test mode in which you can start the pump manually. It is activated with the coffee machine turned off by holding the 2 coffee and steam buttons and inserting the plug into the socket to turn on the lights. In test mode, the steam button starts the pump.

    Tomorrow morning I will start disassembling it, check it and write how it went.

    In test mode, the pump works as in the video. Or it starts loudly, which is probably fine, and then immediately chokes out. I checked the rubber hoses except the last one for coffee because I don`t have access to it. Are these hoses also thinner than water or only air?

    All snakes are water.
    The pump is supposed to work this way, the higher the pressure, the quieter it is.
    Unfasten the hose at the boiler outlet and turn on the pump.

    Did you move the filter (pull it out and put it back in)?
    I have the same problem (it doesn`t take in water), but only when the filter is inserted.
    I pulled it out for a moment and turned the knob at the top to set the time (number of months).
    I don`t know what the value was, but I messed something up (just like that) and now the filter doesn`t take in water (I soaked it for 5 minutes because I poured all the water out of it)
    Now it downloads but has no filter. With the filter it does not download.
    I ordered a new filter

    After disconnecting the hose from the boiler outlet, water flowed. I pulled out all the hoses. I pushed one of the end hoses through with a needle and it works. The culprit in the attached photo. Thank you for your help.

    I`ll add to the topic.

    It also didn`t draw water in my case - I couldn`t make coffee, and there was no water flow during the descaling process, even though I could hear the pump running.

    Just like my friend`s, the hose was clogged.
    After unblocking it with a needle, the machine brews coffee correctly.

    However, during the descaling process, water flows only from the frother. However, there is no flow through the main nozzle during this process.

    Does anyone know why this happens? When you hear the operation while descaling, water only flows through the frother. There is no situation where the pump works and the water does not appear.

    The coffee is made correctly, but when descaling there is no water flow through the main jets.

    Any ideas, advice?

    I had a problem that water was not flowing from either the coffee or steam outlet. It tried to pump through the tubes, but nothing came out, there was a clatter of the pump. The fault was near the vertical filter for the water container, it was aerated.
    I pulled out the filter and water was flowing. I immersed the filter in a large container of water, used my finger to bleed the filter, and put it back into the machine.
    It is working now.
    If someone has a similar problem, the above action might help.

    I'll jump in on the topic because I have the same coffee machine and a similar problem.
    The coffee machine was regularly descaled, but some time ago I had the impression that less water flowed through the nozzles, instead a little of it always flowed into the tray.
    Recently, however, I had a situation where, after the light suggesting descaling appeared, I continued to use the coffee machine for about a month, making several coffees a day. After this time, I noticed that the amount of water flowing from the nozzles decreased significantly. When the knob was set to approximately 1/4 of the power, water did not even flow from the nozzles. I finally descaled the coffee machine and it improved a bit. After about a week, I repeated the descaling to be sure. Things got worse immediately after that. So I descaled it again and this time the water stopped flowing from the nozzles altogether. It all goes into the tray.
    What I did:
    I almost disassembled it into the first parts. After entering the test mode and disconnecting the hose coming from the heater and entering the thermoblock (I marked the disconnection point in red in the photo), water flows from the hose after starting the pump. The pump itself looks perfect after disassembly. I disassembled the thermoblock, everything was clean inside, no scale, no coffee residue. I cleaned everything and put it back together. The seals look ok. The problem remains. I also disassembled the brewing module and cleaned it. Without changes.
    Water from the thermoblock returns in every situation through the hose marked in green. It flows out of the thermoblock through this hose and into the steam clutch, and from there into the tray.
    When you turn on the flow through the frothing nozzle, water flows normally from the nozzle.
    Maybe someone knows what could be the problem when water flows into the thermoblock and immediately flows out of it through the hose next to it?

    I solved the problem. One seal inside the thermoblock piston looked heavily worn. The test mode showed 4,500 coffees, so I'm not surprised. After replacing this seal, the water flows so well that it takes your breath away.

    Hello
    I have the same problem, water is pumped into the tray. I don`t really understand which O-ring it is and where to get it.
    Best regards

    Hello everyone, I'm new here. I have the same symptoms as the author of the post, i.e. I can hear the pump but the water is not flowing. The espresso machine began dispensing water gradually slower until it finally stopped, this happened within one day. I checked the pump and it works, after disconnecting the wires on the boiler, water does not come out, all other wires are clear. Boiler replacement or another reason?

    thermoblock piston to be cleaned and regenerated (replacement of O-rings)

    Hey buddy. Filters can often effectively clean up your coffee machine. Especially if you find some pseudo-"replacement". Obstructed water flow burdens the water pump and significantly reduces the life of this element. If it works fine without a filter, just add water, e.g. from a filter jug, or if you want to continue working with filters, pour plain water for now and install a new filter when it arrives - pouring even a dozen or so liters of water without a filter won't change anything. This is just a scare invented to collect PLN for filters. The only thing that is important is timely maintenance (descaling and cleaning with a tablet). Regards

    Hey, it's a bit strange that this bastard is the culprit because he would block the flow through the spout, but from what you wrote, water didn't come out of the water/steam tap either, and that's the shortest route there and from what I remember, he doesn't use this hose. If I were you, I would descaling it now, after the whole operation, with good chemicals (not acids or the like, but e.g. Coffix). Regards

    Hey buddy. It's best, although it's a bit annoying (you can find a lot of materials about it on YT), to remove the infusor and regenerate it by replacing all the seals and O-rings. The price of such a regeneration kit is about PLN 50, available on north.pl or on alledrogo. It will definitely pay off in terms of coffee quality and solving the problem if it is the same as the one of the friend above. Time - you need to spend about 2-3 hours with all the tests before and after if someone has never done it before. The most important thing is not to rush and always, always take photos before disassembling something :D . Regards

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the DeLonghi ECAM 22.110 coffee machine experiencing a lack of water flow despite the pump operating.
