Possible Causes
Scale buildup in heater tube, Clogged filter basket, Faulty thermostat cycling, Blocked inlet screen
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug and let the machine cool before descaling.
- Descale: Fill the water tank with a Philips-approved descaler solution and run a full brew cycle without coffee. Repeat with fresh water to rinse.
- Clean filter basket: Remove and wash the basket and any permanent filter to clear coffee residues.
- Check inlet screen: Inspect and clean any mesh screen in the water tank area.
If brewing remains very slow, the internal heater tube may be heavily scaled and require professional cleaning or replacement.
