Possible Causes
Empty or improperly seated water reservoir, Airlock in pump, Failed vibration pump, Blocked inlet filter at reservoir connection
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before removing the reservoir or accessing internal parts.
Priming steps:
- Fill the reservoir completely and ensure it is firmly seated.
- Start a brew cycle with no coffee in the basket and listen for the pump humming.
- If the pump hums but no water flows, gently tap the side of the machine to help release an airlock.
Cleaning:
- Inspect and clean the reservoir outlet valve and any inlet filter screen on the machine.
Advanced:
- If the pump is silent and receives power (requires testing with a multimeter), the pump is likely failed and should be replaced.
