How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the machine to cool for at least 30 minutes before restarting.

  • Improve airflow: Move the coffee maker away from walls or cabinets to ensure proper ventilation.
  • Descale the machine: Run a complete descaling cycle to improve heat transfer and reduce overheating.
  • Avoid continuous cycles: If brewing many cups in a row, allow short pauses to prevent overheating.
  • Service if recurring: Frequent thermal shutdowns even after descaling indicate a failing sensor or control board that should be checked by a technician.
