Breville Troubleshooting & Repair Guides
Choose your Breville model before following a repair or cleaning guide. The Barista Express BES870 family has a built-in grinder, pressure gauge and steam wand, so a slow shot, stalled grinder and weak steam need different checks. Look at the model label first: instructions for another Breville machine may use a different cleaning or descaling sequence.
Start with Barista Express
Visit the Barista Express guide hub to find help by symptom. If the grinder is not feeding beans, begin with the grinder not working guide. For shots that run too quickly or barely move the gauge, compare the low-pressure checks with your grind and dose before assuming the pump has failed.
Cleaning and safe diagnosis
The descaling procedure and the cleaning-tablet cycle address different parts of the machine. Use the correct procedure for the alert you see. Switch off and unplug before removing accessible parts, and stop if water reaches electrical components. Our About page explains how these independent guides are prepared.
