Rocket Espresso
Water Source Selection Fault
Machine does not switch from reservoir mode to plumbed-in mode (or vice versa) correctly.

Possible Causes
Incorrect position of internal water source switch, Faulty microswitch or jumper, Blocked mains inlet, Air in plumbed line
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off and unplug the machine before accessing the base or internal switches.
- Locate source selector: Many Rocket models have an internal switch or jumper to select tank or mains. Verify it is set to the desired mode per the manual.
- Check mains line: For plumbed-in use, ensure the shutoff valve is open and the line is flushed of debris and air before connecting.
- Inspect inlet filter: Clean or replace any inline filters or softeners that may be restricting flow.
- Test in tank mode: Switch back to reservoir mode to confirm the machine works correctly there. If only one mode fails, focus on that inlet path and its switch.
