Step-by-step repair guide

Step 1

⚠️ Caution: Pull out the power plug!

Remove all attachments, such as the water reservoir, coffee grounds drawer, and bean compartment lid.

Remove all coffee beans.

Top covers

💡 Note: The top covers do not necessarily have to be removed for all repairs. However, it is indispensable for thorough cleaning. It may be easier to loosen the top covers if the side panels are removed first. The process is somewhat tricky.

Pry the central ventilation cover up.

Step 3

Use the spudger to press in on both sides of the marked area. Then the front cover around the on / off switch is unlocked. You can then lift it up at the front and pull it out at an angle.

If the side openings for the spudger cannot be found, the model is slightly different. With this version you have to insert the spudger into the gap between the front panel and cover, about 3 cm from the edge and then push it firmly towards the center to unlock. At the same time, lift the cover a little at the front.

Step 4

Flip up the front cover.

Remove the cover. In the model with the side holes, you can pull them out at an angle to the front. With the other model, you have to push it back a little to unhook it, then lift it up.

Step 5

💡 Note: This is what it looks like when the two lids are gone. A lot of dirt built up.

Side panels

💡 Note: The side parts are pushed out to the rear. However, they are secured with two screws and a lock at the top and a wedge-shaped catch on the sides.

Unscrew the two T15 Torx screws that secure the side panels at the top.

Step 7

The lock is located under the Jura badge on the back. Turn it counterclockwise about 20 degrees, then you can remove it.

Unfortunately, this one is very stuck. Nothing helped with this device, no suction cup or stiff adhesive tape. Here it is opened with a somewhat more rustic method

Two small holes were drilled a few millimeters deep, then two small screws were screwed in. The badge could finally be turned and removed with a pair of pliers.

Step 8

This is what it looks like underneath. The lock is secured with an oval head screw. It looks like a rivet. To open you need a special oval head bit, in an emergency you can use pliers.

Remove the oval head screw.

Push the lock firmly upwards as far as possible.

Step 9

💡 Note: The side parts are held at the top and bottom with three hooks each. Therefore, they have to be moved backwards to detach them. However, they are secured against shifting with wedge-shaped notches at the front. The next step shows how they can be solved.

The notches must be lifted out of the openings. They are located on both sides at the top and bottom about 1.5 cm from the edge and 7 cm from the front edge.

This is what the wedge-shaped notches look like

Step 10

Lay the machine on its side.

Pry the side panel about 7 cm from the front edge, about 3 mm high. This will cause the catch to come out of its opening. Use a strong tool, preferably one made of plastic.

Position of the wedge-shaped notch: 7 cm from the front edge, 1.5 cm from the top or bottom edge.

Leave the tool in place. Insert an opening pick 7 cm from the front edge so that the wedge-shaped notch can no longer engage in its opening. Pull out the tool.

In the same way, insert another opening pick on the opposite edge.

💡 Note: Now both notches are free and the side part can be moved in the next step.

Step 11

Push the side panel firmly backwards. It may get stuck a bit and you need to use a plastic pry tool to help.

Take off the side panel and set it aside.

Repeat for the other side panel.

Step 12

Release the catches on the top of the inner cover.

Flip the inner cover down and lift it out. The brew group becomes now visible.

💡 Note: The cover is not present on all models.

The third picture shows a view of the other side.

Step 1

The gear motor is located behind the electronics box. First this path has to be cleared.

Disconnect the cables on the top row. Be sure to note which connector is plugged in where.

Detach the cables on the left side as well

From the bottom row you only need to loosen the plug (here blue-red) that belongs to the motor.

Unscrew the three Torx T10 screws that hold the box in place.

Set the box aside.

Step 2

The motor is attached with two Torx T20 screws. Remove those. The screws are fastened with some threadlocker. Use this for the re-assembly as well.

Unplug the connector from the encoder.

Carefully lift out the motor.

Disconnect the connecting wires.

Step 3

The error is clearly visible: the fastening eyelet has torn out.

Step 4

Detach the bracket from the encoder and remove the encoder.

Disconnect the two connecting wires.

Transfer the parts to the new motor

Conclusion

Complete the steps in reverse order to reassemble your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Jura ENA micro making a loud rattling noise?

A loud rattling noise is typically caused by a broken fastening eye on the gear motor, which causes it to lose its secure mounting. This is a common issue that requires either replacing the gear motor entirely or using a retaining bracket to re-secure it. You can find replacement gear motors and repair parts for your Jura ENA micro at Brewive.

Can I fix the Jura ENA micro gear motor without replacing the whole motor?

Yes, in many cases a retaining bracket is available that holds the motor firmly back in place, which saves you significant money and resources compared to a full replacement. This bracket is easy to fit and is a great alternative if the issue is just a torn-out fastening eye. Check Brewive for both the retaining bracket and full replacement gear motors for your Jura machine.

Do I need to fully disassemble the Jura ENA micro to replace the gear motor?

You will need to remove the top covers and access the internal components, which involves prying off the ventilation cover and unlocking the front panel with a spudger tool. While the side panels don't always need to come off, removing them first can make the process easier. Brewive offers detailed parts and support to help you through this repair.

What tools do I need to replace the gear motor on my Jura ENA micro?

You will need a spudger tool to unlock and pry off the covers and front panel, along with basic tools for disconnecting internal components. The disassembly can be somewhat tricky, so patience and the right parts are key. Brewive is a great source for both the replacement gear motor and any additional Jura-compatible parts you may need.

How do I know if my Jura ENA micro gear motor needs to be replaced?

The most common sign is a loud rattling noise during operation, which usually indicates that one of the motor's fastening eyes has torn out and the motor is no longer secured properly. If the motor itself has failed, the brewing unit may not function at all. Visit Brewive to find the correct replacement gear motor or retaining bracket for your Jura ENA micro.
