My NEspresso frother stopped frothing?...What is the problem...the light is on and the unit feels hot?

Does your milk get hot or does nothing at all happen to your milk? I find that certain milks do not froth well so while I get hot milk I do not get frothy milk. Have you switched milks?

It is the little thing on the bottom. Is it in right? It may have stopped spinning.

Not sure what you mean by heating element problem. My problem has always been wear, airy rather cool froth. It now seems that the problem is indeed the milk. Even a freshly opened gallon of milk well within the expiration date, is the problem. I live in Florida and my thought is, the milk must of gotten too hot by being improperly shipped or improperly stored before getting into the grocery cooler. I change it out for a different variety or buy a gallon from a different store and the froth is ok. Had many discussions with Nespresso and the grocery stores, as well.

More than likely your milk is not hot and cools off the espresso. I have had that problem too. You need to keep steaming for almost 2 mins to get it hot. Also if you turn on the steamer just before you brew it will be hotter.

I fill the milk to the line indicated, turn on the button, and it gets hot and foamy all by itself. Maybe your machine is defective?

Probably its not hooked properly. There is only one outlet. If it "shoots all over" , milk is coming out of the attachment which is not hooked as the lower part need to snap in for the steam cleaning after you are done. What I have seen that temperature of froth is pretty low as compared to espersso. I end of microwaving the cup prior to making coffee as the steam wand does not make a nice froth like carafe. Catch 22: good froth but low temperature. Nevertheless, make sure carefe is hooked BOTH inlet at the top and lower part. You should hear a snap sound. Good luck

thyes however the frother stopped working after a month, I would look at a different machine.

I am not sure, there is must be something wrong with your machine. My coffee is still warn the next morning if we didn't finish the pot from the morning before. It's always got when I make it, so you may want to want to send it back for replacement

The light started flashing in mine as well -- still worked though and I couldn't find where I put my manual. We completely emptied it out because we were going out of town for a week. When we returned it was working normally! Try emptying it and refilling, I read somewhere that the 'float' may not be working right, and thinks the machine is empty.

Call Breville directly, If you've had the coffee machine less then a year I would call the company tell them whats going on with yours, my first one did that after 30 days Hope you are still in the warranty time frame. They are junk! Im on my 3rd one and I really would just rather get my money back.

I haven't heard of anyone keeping one for more than a year. They just stop working. Keep trying to find a frother that will do the job and last. I just bought another conpresso because I found it for 30.00. I'd pay a decent price if I knew it would last.

Yes, it both heats and froths , just plug it in and wait a bit , you're done!

My unit has not over heated. If its really hot, I would think it is a defective unit.

Sorry to say that there is something definitely wrong with the frother. It should heat the milk at the same time it is aerating it. Just pushing the button should initiate the heating element.

I'm so glad that you posted this. I'm having the same experience. The equipment looks the same. Nothing has happened to it, but it no longer froths.

How do you know that it needs cleaning? The error light could indicate a problem with the heating filament, or something stuck in front of the spout out of which the coffee pours.

Hmmm Margaret, My subsequent cups are just as hot as the first. It's not going off is it? Mine is set on a 2 hr timer & if I want to keep it hot after that I have to turn the knobs to: Brew & then On & the light will turn red. Otherwise, you may have an issue with it. Hope that helps. :)

Hey Katie, I have one of these(a terrific product). If you still have it(or haven't figured out the problem) try using a very thin metal wire to clean the stem and the valve that makes it froth. I had the same problem and after reaming it out, it went back to working the way it should!
