The Jura E6 is a high-quality, fully automatic coffee machine that delivers rich espresso and coffee with just the press of a button. It’s known for its user-friendly interface, elegant design, and durable performance. However, like any appliance, it can run into occasional issues — one common problem being “No Water Flow”.
Jura E6 No Water Issue – What’s Going On?
If your Jura E6 isn’t drawing water or says “Fill Water Tank” even though it’s full, the machine may be experiencing a blockage or internal sensor issue. The problem usually lies within the water system — including the pump, filter, or water line.
Possible Causes of No Water Flow
- Clogged or old water filter (e.g., CLEARYL Smart filter)
- Air trapped in the water lines
- Blocked inlet or scale buildup in the internal tubing
- Faulty water pump
- Incorrectly seated water tank
How to Fix the Jura E6 No Water Problem
- Check the water tank: Make sure it is full and properly seated on the base. Remove it and reattach it firmly.
- Remove the filter: Try removing the CLEARYL filter temporarily to see if water flows without it. A clogged filter can block the system.
- Run a water system rinse: From the menu, start the “Rinse” or “System Fill” option (if available). This can help push air out of the system.
- Prime the machine: If there’s air trapped in the line, you may need to run hot water several times or manually prime the system by drawing hot water through the spout.
- Descale the machine: If scale has built up, run a descaling cycle using Jura-approved descaling tablets.
Still Not Working? It Could Be Error Code 22
If your machine is showing Error Code 22 along with no water flow, this usually indicates a problem with the grinder motor — not the water system. However, it can sometimes appear if the machine fails to complete a brewing cycle due to water issues.
Error 22 typically means:
- Grinder is jammed or blocked
- Grinder motor is malfunctioning
- Foreign object is inside the grinder
In this case, unplug the machine, inspect and clean the grinder, and restart. If the problem continues, it’s best to contact Jura service.
Final Thoughts
The Jura E6 is a reliable machine, but if you’re experiencing issues with water flow, it’s often due to minor blockages, air bubbles, or filter problems. By following the simple troubleshooting steps above, you can usually fix the issue at home. If not, professional servicing may be necessary to get your machine back to perfect performance.
