Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off and unplug the machine.
Reset and clean:
- Remove the waste coffee container and clean it thoroughly.
- Check for a small plastic tab or magnet that interacts with an internal sensor; ensure it is not broken.
- Reinsert the container fully and check the display. Some models require you to close the door and wait a few seconds for the counter to reset.
Internal inspection (advanced):
- Access the area behind the waste container to locate the container presence switch or lever.
- Ensure the lever moves freely and is not obstructed by coffee grounds.
- Test the switch with a multimeter for proper operation.
If the switch or lever is damaged, replace the sensor assembly. If the error persists despite hardware being functional, a firmware reset or PCB replacement may be required by a service center.
