  • 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.
