Possible Causes

Stuck ceramic valve due to scale, Worn ceramic discs inside valve, Faulty valve position encoder, Wiring fault to valve motor or sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine and allow it to cool before opening. The ceramic valve routes hot water under pressure.

Step 1 – Descale thoroughly:

  • Run one or two full descaling cycles to remove scale from the ceramic valve.

Step 2 – Observe operation:

  • Listen during rinsing/brewing for the ceramic valve motor; grinding or repeated clicking indicates sticking.

Step 3 – Internal inspection (advanced):

  • Remove the housing (unplug first).
  • Locate the ceramic valve assembly and its motor/encoder.
  • Check for leaks around the valve and inspect the wiring.

Step 4 – Replace valve assembly:

  • Ceramic valves are generally not serviceable; replace the entire valve assembly if it is sticking or misreporting position.
  • Ensure correct hose routing and orientation when installing the new valve.
