GENERAL SAFETY NOTES
1 GENERAL SAFETY NOTES
Risk of fatal electrical shock and fire!

Mains voltage inside the coffee machine.
• Unplug appliance before cleaning.
• Never clean wet or immerse plug, cord or appliance in any fluid.
• Disconnect the mains plug before disassembly - the appliance must
be free of voltage.
As an additional safety measure, the use of a residual current device (RCD), also called
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), in the repair centre is highly recommended.
This device does

not protect against
1 electrical shock due to
contact with both circuit
conductors.
RESET
2 Example illustrations
of typical devices.
TEST
Use a GFCI with a trip

level of 4 - 6 mA (USA)
resp. a RCD with a trip
level of 15 - 30 mA (Europe).
3 A trip level above 30 mA
provides only very limited
protection against harm
from an electric shock.

1) RCD protected socket-outlet 3) GFCI socket

2) Plug-in RCD unit 4) Plug-in GFCI
Danger of burns!
Hot parts and water under pressure inside the coffee machine
(particularly in the thermoblock).
• Let coffee machine cool down before cleaning or disassembly.

7 REPAIRS
These repair instructions
- are based on exploded drawings with position numbers combined with repair and
mounting tips,
- presuppose basic knowledge in repairing Nespresso coffee machines.
7.1 Safety instructions

Risk of fatal electrical shock!
Disconnect the mains plug before disassembly - the coffee machine
must be free of voltage.
Danger of burns!
Hot parts and water under pressure inside the coffee machine (ther-
moblock in particular).
Let coffee machine cool down before disassembly.
7.2 Repair and mounting tips

These general advices are completed with specific repair tips in this chapter.
Additional information
For components not mentioned in this repair chapter, refer to the chapters "Explosion
Drawings" on page 79 and "Parts List" on page 81.
Snap connections
Parts of the case and components of the coffee machine are connected screwless with
latches.
When loosening these latches, proceed with care and patience to avoid
causing any damage.
Screw connections
Do not overtighten screws of side panels. Plastic threads and inserts are delicate.
Observe max. torque for the screw connections according to the following table:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection

The service technician must must observe basic ESD protection measures when
installing a new functional block.
Wiring arrangement
Random changes in the wiring arrangement of the wired model version during a repair
can cause
- electromagnetic interferences,
- squeezed wires,
- insulation defects due to contact with hot parts,
- insulation problems if low and high voltage wires are not separated,
- damage to the functional block.
Protective measures:
• Do not change the thermoblock wiring (thermo fuses and NTC sensor).
• Refer to wiring diagram when reconnecting cables and wires.

REPAIRS
Residual water
• If it is necessary to pull off hoses, hold ready a small receptacle and a towel to collect
and wipe away leaking water.
• A special procedure is necessary to empty the fluid system of the coffee machine for
repair or shipment (refer to "Empty water system" on page 19).

8.6 Protective earth (PE) continuity test

8.6.1 What is the protective earth continuity test about?
This test is only necessary
- for class 1 equipment (three-wire power cord with protective earth)
- after a repair whenever a general disassembly was performed.
Therefore all Pixie models have to be tested after general disassembly, except country-
specific models (USA, Canada, Japan) without a protective earth connection (refer to
"Wiring diagrams" on page 59 and following).
8.6.2 General
Legal regulation
In case of a repair/modification of the coffee machine, the repair centre is bound by law
to protect the user/consumer by
- restoring the regular condition of the appliance and
- performing the respective tests according to EN/IEC 60335-1 “Safety of household
and similar electrical appliances” and national regulations (e.g. DIN VDE 0701).
Description
Protective earth continuity measurements are made between the protective earth
terminal of the power plug and the thermoblock casing.
This test assures that

- the ground (earth) connection does not have an interruption between the power plug
and the thermoblock
- the permissible ground resistance is less than 0.3 Ohms (with a test current of
200 mA DC).
Test equipment
Ask Nespresso for Special test equipment is needed that complies with the regulations to perform protec-

nuity test at first, if it is
mandatory. This test is necessary
- for class 1 and 2 equipment (with/without protective earth)
- after a repair whenever a general disassembly was performed.
8.7.2 General
Legal regulation
In case of a repair/modification of the coffee machine, the repair centre is bound by law
to protect the user/consumer by
- restoring the regular condition of the appliance and
- performing the respective tests according to EN/IEC 60335-1 “Safety of household
and similar electrical appliances” and national regulations (e.g. DIN VDE 0701).
Description
The insulation test
- assures that wiring and insulation of the coffee machine fullfill the normative require-
ments after a repair,
- rates the insulation capability of the coffee machine,
- is a very dangerous test because of a high test voltage (500 V DC).
For the insulation test, phase and neutral wire are shunted at the power plug. Then a
test voltage is applied between phase/neutral and selected parts of the coffee machine.
Test equipment
Ask Nespresso for Special test equipment is needed that complies with the regulations to perform insulation
recommendations
and withstanding voltage tests. Detailed requirements and tolerances must be verified
about test equipment.
with your local authorities or measurement supplier in any case.
Ideally the test equipment has a national power socket for testing, so that the coffee
machine can plugged in directly. Otherwise a special shunt is necessary to connect the
phase and neutral pin of the coffee machine’s power plug.
Test report
For legal reasons a repair or test report should be prepared and filed with following infor-
mation
- customer (name, address)
- type and serial number of coffee machine
- date of repair/test(s)

FUNCTION TESTS
- performed test(s)/measuring value(s), test points

8.7.3 Test sequence
Danger of electrical shock/short circuit!

Do not plug in the coffee machine during insulation test.

8.7.4 What to do if the insulation test fails
Risk of damage!
A sparkover can damage the electronic control board etc.
• Assume that the coffee machine is defect after a failed insulation test.
• Check wiring and locate fault. After fault clearance proceed with troubleshooting
