Possible Causes

Faulty temperature sensor, Thermostat opening too early, Heavy scale on thermoblock, Preheating not completed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before internal checks.

Steps:

  • Preheat properly: Allow the machine to complete its preheat cycle before brewing. On some models, run a blank shot (hot water only) to warm internal parts and the cup.
  • Descale: Scale acts as insulation and reduces heat transfer. Run a full descaling cycle.
  • Warm the cup: Rinse the cup with hot water before brewing to reduce heat loss.
  • Internal check (advanced): If temperature remains low, the thermistor or thermostat on the boiler may be faulty and require replacement.
