Possible Causes

Lid not fully closed, T DISC not detected, Dirty barcode reader, Faulty lid microswitch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the machine before cleaning inside the brew head.

  • Check T DISC placement: Ensure the T DISC is seated flat in the holder with the barcode facing down and the foil intact.
  • Close lid firmly: Press the lid down until you hear a positive click.
  • Clean scanner window: Wipe the barcode reader window with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Test without disc: Remove the T DISC and close the lid. If the cup icon still flashes, the lid switch may not be engaging.
  • If unresolved: The lid microswitch or barcode reader may need professional replacement.
