Startup Self-Test Failure / General Hardware Error
Symptom
Buttons or touch controls do not respond or respond intermittently.
Unresponsive Keypad / Touch Panel
Symptom
Coffee is very bitter, small in volume, or drips slowly; pucks are very hard and dry.
Over-Extraction / Restricted Flow
Symptom
Coffee is very weak or watery even at maximum strength setting; pucks are thin and fall apart easily.
Weak Coffee / Under-Extraction
Symptom
Display is very dim, flickering, or unreadable, but the machine still operates.
Display / Backlight Degradation
Symptom
Machine displays repeated prompts to empty coffee grounds (dreg drawer) even when it is empty and reinserted.
Dreg Drawer Detection Fault
Symptom
