Possible Causes
Flow meter not detecting flow, Control board not stopping pump, Stuck brew relay, Incorrect user settings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Stay near the coffee maker during brewing if overfill has occurred to prevent spills and burns.
- Confirm settings: Double-check the selected cup size and any strong-brew settings that may alter volume.
- Observe brew end: Watch whether the pump continues running after the carafe is full. If so, unplug the unit to stop the cycle.
- Descale: Run a descale cycle; sometimes restoring proper flow helps the flow meter read correctly.
- If overfill repeats: The flow meter or control board brew logic may be faulty. Do not leave the unit unattended while brewing until repaired.
- Professional service: Have a technician test and replace the flow meter or control board as needed.
