Our DeLonghi Repair Process
We follow a structured repair process for every DeLonghi machine, whether it comes into our Randpark Ridge workshop or arrives via courier from another province:
1. Diagnostic: We fully disassemble and inspect your machine, identifying all faults not just the obvious one. You receive a written quote before we proceed.
2. Genuine Parts: We source genuine DeLonghi OEM components from our local stock or directly from the manufacturer’s supply chain. No grey-market substitutes.
3. Full Service: While we have your machine open, we descale the boiler, replace worn seals and gaskets, clean the brew group, and lubricate moving parts not just the reported fault.
4. Quality Test: Every repaired machine is tested across multiple brew cycles before release. We confirm temperature, pressure, grind output, and steam performance.
5. 3-Month Warranty: Your repair is covered for 3 months. If the same fault returns, we fix it at no charge.
Common DeLonghi Faults & What They Mean
Johannesburg’s notoriously hard water accelerates scale build-up inside DeLonghi boilers. If you see any of the faults below, do not keep running the machine, call us first to avoid secondary damage:
- CALC / Descale alert that will not clear: Usually a blocked boiler or failed flow meter not just a descaling issue. Requires internal inspection.
- No coffee or very slow flow: Can be a clogged brew unit, failing pump, or collapsed internal hose. Never force-run the machine if flow stops suddenly.
- Beans loading but no grinding noise: The burr motor has seized or the grinder burrs are jammed common in machines over 3 years old in hard water areas.
- Leaking under the machine: 9 times out of 10 this is a boiler o-ring or internal hose fitting both inexpensive to fix if caught early.
- Steam wand producing only water or no steam: Thermoblock scale or a failed steam valve common on the Dedica and Eletta ranges.
- Machine powers on but does nothing: Can be a failed control board, blown fuse, or corrupted firmware all diagnosable in our workshop.
