Display shows NO FILTER or filter icon; machine beeps and will not start brewing.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting the brew basket area.

• Reinsert basket: Remove the filter basket or pod holder and reinstall it, ensuring it is oriented correctly and fully seated.
• Check for damage: Inspect the basket for broken tabs or warped plastic that may prevent it from engaging the internal switch.
• Clean basket area: Remove any coffee grounds or residue that could block the basket from seating fully.
• Inspect detection switch (advanced): Access the area behind the basket to locate the detection switch. Test its operation and replace if it fails continuity tests.
