Possible Causes

Vibration pump mounting grommets worn, Coffee maker not level on countertop, Loose internal screws on heater bracket, Scale causing cavitation in pump

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker before moving or tilting it.

  • Level the unit: Place the coffee maker on a flat, stable surface. Adjust its position so all feet contact the counter evenly.
  • Add a mat: Place a thin rubber or silicone mat under the machine to dampen vibration.
  • Descale: Run a descaling cycle to reduce cavitation noise caused by scale in the heater and pump.
  • Check for loose parts: Gently shake the unplugged unit; if you hear internal rattling, an internal screw or bracket may be loose and should be tightened by a technician.

Persistent loud mechanical noise often indicates worn pump mounts or a failing pump assembly.
