Possible Causes

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

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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.
