Possible Causes

Defective start button or touch sensor, Control panel ribbon cable loose, Safety interlock (lid or carafe) not engaged, Faulty main PCB input

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before touching internal parts.

  • Check safety interlocks: Ensure the filter holder, lid, and carafe are correctly positioned and closed. Many Severin models will not start if any of these are open.
  • Try different program: Select a simple manual brew instead of a timer program to rule out programming errors.
  • Clean control panel: Wipe the buttons or touch panel with a slightly damp cloth to remove grease or coffee residue that may affect contact.
  • Reset: Unplug for 5 minutes, then reconnect and try again.
  • If the start button feels loose or unresponsive: The control panel PCB or button assembly may need replacement.
