Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine before checking sensors near the grinder.
- Check bean container lid: Ensure the lid is properly closed. Some Bosch models have a safety switch that prevents operation if the lid is open.
- Clean sensor area: Wipe around the bean container and lid area to remove coffee dust that may interfere with optical or magnetic sensors.
- Reseat hopper: Remove and reinstall the bean container if it is removable, ensuring it locks into place.
- If E16 persists: The lid sensor or grinder sensor may be defective. Accessing and replacing these requires disassembly; contact Bosch service.
