How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the brewer before moving or opening it.
- Reposition brewer: Place it on a solid, level surface. Ensure no objects touch the sides that could amplify vibration.
- Prime the pump: Run several water-only brews to purge air that can cause cavitation noise.
- Listen for location: If the noise clearly comes from the pump area and persists, the pump may be wearing out.
- Internal inspection (advanced): Check that the pump and hoses are securely mounted and not rattling against the case.
- Replace pump if necessary: A noisy, failing pump should be replaced by a technician.
