WMF Coffee Machines – Quick Fixes

Kaapi Machines knows how important a hassle-free coffee brewing experience is to your business. Whether it’s a café, office, or restaurant, the Commercial WMF Coffee Machines are a reliable partner in efficiency and consistency. But even top–of-the-line equipment sometimes encounters minor problems.

 We have designed this convenient troubleshooting manual to independently address everyday issues with your machine. The resolutions are simple and easy to perform, allowing you to continue serving great coffee without interruption.

1. What to do if the WMF coffee machines won’t turn on

If your machine is not turning on, do a simple check to ascertain:

  • The supply of power is stable and active.
  • The MCB or fuse is intact and connected.
  • The main switch of the machine is switched on.
  • The power cable and plug are securely inserted and in place.
  • These are basic yet easily forgotten factors, particularly after extended periods of inactivity.

2. A noisy procedure when delivering hot water or coffee

During the brewing process, is your machine producing an odd sound?

  • This could be the result of problems with the water supply. Verify:
  • The water pipe is directly linked to your WMF Commercial Coffee Maker.
  • An adequate flow of water into the system is made possible by the open water tap.
  • If your machine has a water tank, make sure it is securely attached to the machine and filled to the fullest.
  • Performance and beverage quality depend on maintaining a steady water flow.

3. No milk or milk froth is dispensed by the machine

If there are problems with the distribution of milk or milk foam, look at these parts:

  • Is the steam nozzle attached securely?
  • Is the milk hose not kinked, and is it routed correctly?
  • Has there been any recent cleaning of the milk system?
  • Does the container contain enough milk?
  • Make sure the milk chiller is in working order and hasn’t frozen the milk if you use one.

To get the ideal milk texture, setup and hygiene are crucial.

4. Sputtering milk foam from the dispenser

If your milk foam dispenser is sputtering instead of creating smooth foam:

  • Ensure the milk system is well cleaned—milk residue accumulation can affect performance.
  • The milk needs to be refrigerated to the correct temperature before use.
  • Always use the green milk nozzle for optimal results with milk frothing.
  • These little steps can yield big improvements in the consistency and quality of your milk-based beverages.

5. The machine shows “Clean Now” and won’t dispense beverages

If the WMF coffee machines indicate a “Clean Now“ message, it means that system cleaning is long overdue. In this situation:

  • Immediately start the cycle of system cleaning according to the instructions of the machine.
  • Daily cleaning, or at least once a day, is highly advisable to prevent shutdowns and ensure cleanliness.

Tip: The machine will lock beverage operations if the machine has not been cleaned for three days or more.

6. Machine shows error codes 161, 162, 163, 164, or 166

Error codes like these generally indicate system or component-level alerts. These could stem from:

  • Sensor malfunctions

  • Blocked lines

  • Missed cleaning cycles

  • Inconsistent water or milk supply

If basic checks do not resolve the issue, it is advisable to note down the error code and reach out to our support team for guided assistance.
