Possible Causes
Faulty flow meter pulses, corrupted brew volume calibration, control PCB firmware issue, intermittent wiring to flow meter
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before any internal inspection.
- Reset and retry: Unplug for 10 minutes, then plug back in and attempt a rinse cycle (brew without pod).
- Descale: Run a full descaling cycle to ensure the flow meter wheel can spin freely.
- Check for pinched hoses: If accessible, inspect the hoses to and from the flow meter for kinks or sharp bends.
- Factory reset (if available): Some models allow a factory reset via a button combination (consult user manual). Perform this to clear calibration errors.
- Persistent error: Likely a defective flow meter or control PCB; replacement should be done by a service technician.
