How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before extended handling.
- Power reset: Unplug the unit for at least 10–15 minutes to allow the control board to fully discharge. Plug back in and test.
- Check for stuck buttons: Press each button individually to ensure it moves freely and returns. Clean around the buttons with a dry cloth.
- Try a different outlet: Plug into a separate circuit to rule out line noise or grounding issues.
- Board replacement: If ERR appears repeatedly and basic resets do not help, the main control board may be failing and should be replaced.
