Water tank part number and how i order it?
Hi Jay, Thanks for reaching out to us at De'Longhi. I have linked below the website for all spare parts (this is the AU website) The part number for the water tank is there. Available now through this link.

I am having a few issues with this machine. First, it sometimes will not complete a coffee-making cycle. If seems the beans are ground, then the machine resets to the beginning of the cycle. Also, lately, it has been making only a fraction of the amount of coffee selected. Second, the screen oftentimes now shows jibberish ... a mix-up of letters and symbols during a brewing cycle. Third even when the machine is sitting idle(not shut down), there is an occasional "beep" that I cannot figure out. Any assistance you can provide would be helpful. The Delonghi folks here in Canada are COMPLETELY unresponsive.
sorry, but this is again a software problem. It seems that they have a bad service all over the world. Better buy another brand.
The “fill tank” warning doesn’t come on when it’s low on water! Is there a sensor that needs replacing? Thanks.
It is better to try to live with this problem, because it is a little thing. And it can be a problem of the sensor or the software or electric wire.
Hope replacing a new tank (new with new magnet) works.
Hi My coffee machine alters descale very very soon ,, I had descaled machine just 2 weeks ago than again ,,, I use filter water for water tanks.. it sounds something wrong … Thanks …just give me solution please ,,,
Hi So Yeon L,
We have messaged you regarding this! Hope it can be rectified ASAP.
Thanks, De'Longhi Customer Service
Thanks De longhi team
typical De Longhi Software fault... And the repair team in Bangkok was not able to fix it. Thats why I gave my machine away for free. Now I use Saecco, very good.
Hi I have just purchased a DeLonghi Primadonna Elite and would like to know if I have to use (and replace) the water filter when I already use a 3-way water filter to fill the Water Tank. Thanks in advance, Vito Abate
Hey Vito, The water filter is optional for you in this case. it would help with the flavour of the coffee if you are not already filtering your water. Its fine to use the machine without a filter. Also just make sure you have set the water hardness to level 1 so you dont get asked too often to complete the descale.
Hello Cheryl, thanks very much for the prompt reply. Best regards, Vito.
Trying to complete the descale operation and after running thru the cycle the machine does not give the complete message or shift to rinsing cycle to complete the descale operation. What is the problem?
Hey Tom. It's quite critical to have the correct amount of water and descaler into level A and B in the water tank. If it hasn't done the right amount of water it wont move on to the next stage. If it's still not completing cycle after checking the above can I please suggest you call our customer service team they are super helpful at talking through the process. 1800 126 659. Thank you
My machine keeps getting a message to ‘insert infuser assembly’ but after a while it seems to reset itself until next time. I’ve found where the cassette is behind the flap but I can’t seem to remove it to reinsert it. Also, the fill tank warning no longer comes on when the tank is empty. Any suggestions? This all started after it went in for repairs.
Hi Bob, thanks for asking us a question and for sharing your feedback. Would you be able to please contact us on 1800 126 659 and we will be able to help you resolve this ASAP. Best, De'Longhi Australia
What does PIC 2.0.002 PSOC 2.0 mean - Prima Donna is being a Prima Donna ?!
Not good, there is either a loose cable connection or a board failing. Happened on mine, would come and go but got worse and worse, eventually part had to be replaced
Coffee machine primadonna delux stopped working showing code Lang code108. Any suggestions?
How do I get past the Circuit is empty Fill circuit? What does it mean? Prima donna deluxe
Elaine, I have a similar problem and it seems to due to the water tank becoming empty before the ‘Fill tank’ indicator displays. To fix it you need to select the rinse cycle on the menu. I can’t justify it standing on a technician’s bench for 2 weeks before they even look at it, so I just physically check the water level the tank before using it and I’ve not had the problem repeat itself since.
how to get past message "circuit empty fill circuit" on Prima Donna de luxe?
How many coffee's should be made before the Descale alert shows. Recently our machine is requesting a descale once a week. That seems way too soon. Anyone know if this is normal or had the same problem. Probably only made 10 coffee's in between descales. I thought it was meant to be around the 200 cups??? Please help.
That certainly doesn't sound right. My machine certainly doesn't want to descale every week. The most I have seen it request a descale is once every month, but more often every two to three months. I also have very bad water quality where I live, therefore I've set the hardness on the machine to the maximum. I'd rather descale regularly and look after the machine rather than not descale enough and have problems internally.
But it certainly sounds very unusual. Do you happen to use the water filters as well? There is no way on earth I'd use my coffee machine without a water filter, either on the machine or on your tap where you fill your machine's water tank.
Hello, You are correct in thinking the machine is asking for descale too often.We are heavy users of our machine and descale is maybe once a month to 6 weeks.I only use filtered water in my machine which is just a Brita water filter in a jug.You can buy these at Big w or woolies coles.I would try filtered water after your next descale and see if this makes a difference.Hope your problem is sorted soon.
We use filtered water for ours and it has just started doing the same thing will be ringing delonghi on tuesday
I drink regular milk and my partner drinks soy. Can I buy an extra milk container and swap regularly?
I'm pretty sure that there are still brand new milk containers for this coffee machine on eBay. Haven't seen them in store however. I can't see why you couldn't use two different types of milk as the machine prompts you to clean the milk steamer port after every coffee. The milk never actually goes inside the machine, it is sucked up through the straw inside the container, mixed with steam in the head unit and then funneled into the coffee cup. Therefore there should be no worries about cross contamination of different types of milk.
Hi, yes you are able to purchase new milk containers on ebay if you wish not to have to rinse and empty container with different milk etc in case of allergies or intolerances.I think they are reasonably priced on ebay verus supplier as we replaced ours recently.
