“WATER UNDER PRESSURE” appears mid-brew and cycle aborts; coffee output is very small.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Severely clogged exit needle, Collapsed K-Cup filter, Scale buildup at outlet, Weak pump unable to maintain flow

Safety first: Unplug and let the brewer cool before cleaning.

Deep clean exit needle: Remove the K-Cup holder and soak it in warm soapy water. Use a paper clip to clear the exit needle from both sides.
Descale: Run a full descale to remove scale at the outlet and internal passages.
Test with different pods: Try a different brand or batch of K-Cups to rule out defective pods.
Monitor pump sound: If the pump strains or stops under load, it may be failing and need replacement.
