Possible Causes
Dirty or blocked pod barcode/ID sensor, Incorrect pod type, Pod holder not fully closed, Damaged pod sensor wiring
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Check pod and holder:
- Ensure you are using a compatible pod or disc type recommended by KitchenAid for your model.
- Remove the pod holder and rinse thoroughly to remove coffee oils and residue.
- Inspect the pod for damage, tears, or missing barcode/ID markings.
Clean sensors:
- Locate the pod recognition window or sensor area inside the brew head.
- Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove coffee splatter or scale.
Close firmly:
- Reinsert the pod holder and close the brew head until it latches securely.
If the error remains with known-good pods, the pod recognition sensor or its wiring may be faulty and require service.
