Possible Causes

Air trapped in water lines, Low water level in reservoir, Scale causing uneven boiling, Pump beginning to fail

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep hands away from hot surfaces while the unit is operating.

Eliminate air and low water:

  • Fill the reservoir to the MAX line and ensure it is fully seated.
  • Run a water-only brew cycle to purge air.

Descale:

  • Perform a full descale cycle to reduce noisy boiling caused by scale.

Some gurgling is normal, but if noises are very loud or grinding-like and persist, the pump may be failing and should be checked.
