Jura Capresso IMPRESSA J5 Flowmeter exchange/replacement
Introduction
Go to step 1The flowmeter measures how much water is supplied by the water tank. If this measurement is disturbed, the coffee machine will no longer function properly or not at all. A typical error is the message "Fill system", which does not go away because the electronics do not receive a message about the water flow. Most of the time the flowmeter is calcified and just needs to be cleaned.

The motor for the drainage valve is located in the lower side of the unit near the center. It is fastened with three screws and connected with several flat plugs. In the picture, the ceramic valve has already been pushed off.

In meinem Fall funktionierte das neue Flowmeter nach dem Tausch gar nicht, habe dann das alte gereinigt und wieder montiert. Das hat auch geklappt. Im Grunde kann an dem Bauteil nichts kaputt gehen, also eine Reinigung sollte in der Regel ausreichen. Wenn man dann hineinbläst muss erkennbar sein das sich das Flügelrat dreht. Dann sollte es wieder funktional sein.
