Possible Causes

Drip tray full, Float sensor stuck, Optical level sensor dirty, Faulty tray sensor switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing trays.

  • Empty drip tray: Carefully slide out the drip tray and discard any collected water. Rinse and dry the tray thoroughly.
  • Clean float or sensor: If the tray has a float, ensure it moves freely and is not stuck with coffee residue. Clean with warm soapy water. For optical sensors, wipe the sensor window with a soft cloth.
  • Reinstall tray: Push the tray fully back into place until it is flush with the front panel.
  • Test: Plug in and restart the machine. If E04 persists with an empty, clean tray, the tray sensor or wiring may be defective and require service.
