How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting mechanical selectors.

This error is related to the grind setting detection.

  • Reset selector: Turn the Braun grind selector knob fully from the finest to the coarsest setting several times, then leave it at a mid‑range setting.
  • Check for obstructions: Ensure no coffee grounds or debris are packed around the selector mechanism.
  • Power cycle: Plug the unit back in and see if the error clears.

If E08 persists, the internal grind position sensor or control board may be defective and will require professional service.
