Possible Causes
Used capsule drawer is full, Drawer not fully inserted, Faulty drawer presence microswitch, Broken drawer magnet or sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF and unplug the machine before reaching into the capsule area.
Step 1 – Empty and clean the drawer
- Remove the used capsule drawer and empty all capsules.
- Rinse the drawer with warm water and dry thoroughly.
- Check for deformation or cracks that might prevent proper insertion.
- Reinsert the drawer fully until it seats correctly.
Step 2 – Check for obstructions
- Inspect the drawer cavity for stray capsules or debris.
- Remove any obstruction that could prevent the drawer from closing fully.
Step 3 – Sensor inspection (advanced)
- Unplug and remove the cover to access the drawer sensor area.
- Locate the drawer microswitch or magnetic sensor.
- Check that the actuator (tab on the drawer) properly engages the switch when inserted.
- Adjust or replace the switch if it does not click or change state when pressed.
When to seek service
- If B2 remains after confirming the drawer and sensor are mechanically sound, the sensor wiring or control board input may be faulty and should be checked by a technician.
