Frequently asked questions
Is error 8 the same as on Jura?
The symptom is the same, the unit doesn't reach position, but the cause differs. On Nivona it's almost always a cracked or worn plastic gear in the drive, not the motor like on Jura. That gear is available as a spare part and gets replaced.
Can it be fixed at home?
Cleaning and greasing the unit, yes. Replacing the gear means dismantling the drive, it's doable with our tutorial and a torx set, but it takes patience and it's best to take photos while disassembling.
