How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off and unplug the machine. Allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Steps:
- 1. Improve ventilation: Ensure the coffee maker has at least 10 cm clearance on all sides and is not placed under low cabinets or near heat sources.
- 2. Clean vents: Use a soft brush or vacuum to remove dust from ventilation slots and fan (if equipped).
- 3. Power reset: After cooling, plug in and test. If E13 reappears quickly, an internal sensor or board issue is likely.
- 4. Inspect internal temp sensor (advanced): Open the housing and locate the ambient temperature sensor on the control board or chassis. Check for loose connections or damage.
Resolution: Replace the internal temperature sensor or main control board if they are confirmed faulty by a technician.
