Possible Causes

Heavy coffee oil buildup on brew unit, sticky movement causing high motor load, sensitive current monitoring on drive

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

User-level maintenance:

  • Remove the brew unit weekly and clean thoroughly under warm running water.
  • Allow to dry completely and lubricate moving joints with food-safe silicone grease where specified by Miele.
  • Run the automatic cleaning program with Miele cleaning tablets as recommended.

Technical note:

  • If cleaning and lubrication do not reduce frequent prompts, the drive current threshold may be sensitive; consult Miele service for firmware updates or drive checks.
