2. Faulty Milk Container
Another common cause of DeLonghi Nespresso coffee machine milk not working is a faulty milk container. The milk container may be cracked or damaged, which can allow air to get into the system and cause the milk to spoil. To check if the milk container is faulty, simply remove it from the machine and inspect it for any cracks or damage. If you find any damage, you will need to replace the milk container.
3. Air in the Milk System

4. Faulty Milk Pump
The milk pump is responsible for pumping the milk from the milk container to the frother. If the milk pump is faulty, it can cause the milk system to not work properly. To check if the milk pump is faulty, simply remove the milk container and start the machine. If the milk pump is working properly, you should hear a humming sound. If you do not hear a humming sound, the milk pump may be faulty and will need to be replaced.

If the milk does not froth, the frother may be faulty and will need to be replaced.
6. Clogged Steam Valve
The steam valve is responsible for releasing steam into the milk to create froth. If the steam valve is clogged, it can prevent the milk from frothing properly. To clean the steam valve, simply remove the steam valve from the machine and soak it in a solution of vinegar and water for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, rinse the steam valve with hot water and reattach it to the machine.
