How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before internal inspection.
Tray checks:
- Remove the drip tray and waste coffee container, empty and clean them thoroughly.
- Inspect the underside for magnets or tabs that actuate sensors; ensure they are intact.
- Clean the sensor area inside the machine where the tray slides in; remove coffee grounds and moisture.
- Reinsert the tray firmly until it is fully seated.
Sensor checks (advanced):
- Open the front or side panel to access the tray presence microswitch or reed sensor.
- Verify that the actuator moves when the tray is inserted.
- Test the switch with a multimeter for proper open/close operation.
Replace the tray sensor or microswitch if it does not change state when actuated. If the tray itself is damaged or missing magnets, replace the tray assembly.
