Possible Causes

Misaligned service door, Broken door latch, Faulty door microswitch, Damaged wiring to door switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before adjusting the door or switch.

  • Open and close door: Open the service door fully and close it firmly until you hear a click. Ensure no cables or hoses obstruct closure.
  • Inspect latch and tabs: Check the plastic latch and tabs on the door for cracks or wear. If broken, the door will not actuate the switch.
  • Clean switch area: Use a dry brush or compressed air to remove coffee grounds or dust around the door switch.
  • Test switch (advanced): With the cover removed, manually press the microswitch and see if the error clears. If not, the switch or wiring may be defective and require replacement.
