Machine frequently asks to empty the drip tray or coffee grounds container even when recently emptied.

Safety: Unplug before internal inspection.

• Clean components: Remove the drip tray and grounds container. Clean thoroughly, including any floats or magnets.
• Check alignment: Reinsert both components firmly until they click into place.
• Inspect switches: Locate the tray and container microswitches inside the compartment. Test actuation and continuity; replace if defective.
• Replace damaged parts: If the container or tray has broken tabs that actuate the switches, replace the affected part.
