Possible Causes
Brew group not detected, Service door open switch not engaged, Water tank not recognized, Dreg drawer not inserted correctly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep hands clear of moving parts when the machine is powered.
Step-by-step checks:
- Check on-screen messages: Look for prompts such as “Insert brew group”, “Close door”, or “Empty coffee grounds” and follow them.
- Reinsert components: Remove and firmly reinsert the water tank, drip tray, dreg drawer, and brew group. Ensure each clicks into place.
- Close doors fully: Make sure the service door and front panel are fully closed and latched.
- Power reset: Turn the machine off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on and try again.
When to call a technician: If the machine still refuses to brew with all components correctly installed, a door or presence switch may be faulty and should be tested by a technician.
