Display shows “LID” or “CLOSE LID” on single-serve or pod models; brew will not start.

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

Brew lid not fully latched, Broken lid latch tab, Misaligned lid magnet, Faulty lid micro-switch or reed switch

Safety first: Unplug the unit before manipulating the lid mechanism.

Check lid closure:
- Open and close the lid firmly until you hear or feel a click.
- Ensure no pod foil or debris is caught in the seal.
Inspect latch and magnet:
- Look for a small plastic tab or magnet on the lid; if broken or missing, the sensor will not detect closure.
Clean around the switch:
- Use a dry brush or compressed air to remove coffee grounds from the latch area.

If the LID message persists, the lid switch or reed sensor inside the housing may need replacement.
