As from week 38/2021- serial no. 1AF27426 the doorswitches housing of all OptiBean and OptiFresh machines (touch & push-button) have been upgraded.
Art.nr. 1010715 (see also picture) is retrofit with all previous machines and this gives:
This swipeguide will show you how to upgrade your machine to the current situation
Switch off the machine
Take out both screws (front and backside)
Remove the side-panel by pulling the lower section away from the chassis and than manouvre the panel upwards
Remove the lower switch by taking out both screws
Place both switches into new housing
Place the closed housing assembly onto the inner panel and fit the 2 M4 screws
The proper working of both switches can be tested in the hardware test 2.07/Inputs/doorswitch -doorswitch2
Extra:
Always keep this o-ring (art. nr. 1000812) greased with foodgrade grease for optimal closing of the door
Foodgrade grease 10 gram : art. nr. 1008121
Foodgrade grease 60 gram : art. nr. 1001218

The break-pin of the driver wheel brewer will break whenever the permanentfilter in the brewer is not cleaned every week with coffee fur remover.
The break-pin (art. nr. 03341) prevents the gearbox of the brewermotor getting damaged by excessive force when the permanentfilter or the brewer itself are obstructed in any way.
Error 5 is displayed whenever the brewer-motor switch (during start-up) is no longer detected
First, we make sure that the pin actual is broken and causing the E5 or E4 error:
Remove the 1 screw that hold the motor assembly
Note: In case the brewer transport safety bracket is still present it can be removed
Remove both connectors of the brewer switch (black-Grey) and the power (Red-Black)
Move the complete motor-assembly upwards
Take out the complete assembly (upper side first)
For the next step you need a driver pin (max 2 mm ) and a hammer
Prepare a new wheel (art. nr. 03340) and a new break-pin (art.nr. 03341)
Note: Make sure the end of the break-pin with the thinner end (old version/conical pin) or the pointed side (new model-May 2022) goes in first
Update: Since June 2024 the wheel + pin are combined in a set (art.no.1012799)
Set 1012799 contains a conical break-pin again!!
Note: make sure the lever of the microswitch is not obstructed and fitted nicely on the outside of the new wheel.
Refit the motor assembly again, upper side in first and slide it downwards again
Refit the connectors of the microswitch (grey-black) and the motor (red-black)
Fit and tighten the screw again
Refit the inlet tube into the hole in the cabinet
Refit the outlet hose of the brewer unto the plastic support again
When the display permanently shows "System Synchronizing" like shown in the picture, you are advised to replace the HMDI cable .
