Our aeroccino worked fine for 2 years and suddenly it didn't made foam anymore. We tried the "inverting trick" without much success. We contacted Nespresso and they suggested switching from regular fresh milk (we used 2%) to UHT milk (harder to find in US) and to use it cold and freshly opened. So we tried that and it works.
Hope this solution works for you too

Try a better quality whole milk. Most of the milks available don't froth at all in mine. Good quality fresh whole milk froths very well. Low fat milk froths fairly well, again, only high quality milk. Skim doesn't froth at all. Experiment a little. I think many of the milks available are over-processed, or composed partly of reconstituted milk that won't froth naturally. Good luck.

My nespresso milk frother red light doesn't come on, it is staying blue

I found that when I switched milks from whole to two percent organic it stopped frothing. When I tried a friend's creamer it worked again.

Nespresso milk frother instructions

I had the same problem. From reading various sites it is clearly a common problem. Most suggest phoning Nespresso to get it replaced but one website suggested turning the machine upside down. Not the base, just the aeroccino. Leave it like this overnight and it resets itself. I don't understand how that works but I tried it as it was a weekend and wasn't going to be able to call the helpline till Monday. And it worked! I now have proper froth again. Other suggestions seem to be try never to get the underneath wet (I think leaving it upside down ensures this area dries out completely), don't leave it on the base when not using and certainly don't leave it on.

My nespresso aeroccino automatic milk frother is spinning and heating up but not frothing milk

I found that switching to a different milk solved my issue. It worked well with whole milk, but when I used Trader Joe's two percent organic it would not froth after .multiple tries. I borrowed a neighbor's creamer and it worked again.

Aeroccino frother won't turn back on after we get some froth and still more milk in container.. takes a long time to be able to activate again.. using Almond milk could be the problem any suggeest

My Nespresso Aeroccino often would not heat or froth multiple times after one use. I called Nespresso, they have excellent customer service, and was told to rise the inside (careful not to get the outside button or electric elements wet) of the Aeroccino with cold water a few times and to retry. Works like a charm!
The customer service is the best I have encountered in a long while, give them a call, it will make your day they are so pleasant and helpful!

Have you changed the type of milk? Full fat is best but it should work with semi skimmed.
I hope I have been of help but please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.

My nespresso aeroccino machine seems either quirky or moody: sometimes it froths the milk, and other times it just kind of heats it up and stirs it, even though I'm pouring the right amount of milk in and...

THEY SAY MILK MATTERS. SKIM OR LOW FAT BEST. ALSO MAKE SURE IT IS CLEAN, WHEN YOU ARE CLEANING IT, REMOVE THE FROTHER, TO BE SURE MILK DOES NOT STUCK IM COIL, WHICH CAN MAKE THE FROTHER, NOT MOVE AS QUICKLY AROUND.

Aeroccino does not heat

Try descaling, if the element is covered with scale it wont produce enough heat and pressure.

The machine is Krups, and therefore should be covered with one year warranty. Call the number listed on the user manual, or find contact from websites below:

Not making froth

Had the same problem, but called Nespresso. Their tech suggested the following: 1) always leave off the base - will stay on even if button not pressed 2) invert the Aerocinno for 24-48 hours to "reset" the thermostat in the device. I began leaving the base plugged in, but immediately after using and cleaning (don't get ANY water in the bottom of the machine!), I invert the Aeroccino and leave it that way. My machine began making great froth with any tyoe of milk, and continues to do so a month later -

Sounded crazy to me initially, but it works.....Never returned the device, and no need to do so now - Good luck!
