How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before checking internal components.

Steps:

  • Check brew group: Ensure the brew unit is correctly installed and locked.
  • Check doors and covers: Verify that all service doors, bean hopper lids, and tank covers are properly closed and engaging their switches.
  • Remove obstructions: Look inside the brew chamber and drip tray area for loose parts or coffee clumps blocking movement.
  • Power reset: After checks, reconnect power and allow the machine to run its full startup cycle without interruption.

If F14 continues, a deeper mechanical or electronic fault exists and professional diagnosis is recommended.
