Possible Causes
Failed internal thermal insulation, Misrouted wiring or hoses touching hot surfaces, Overheating heating block, Blocked ventilation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool. Do not touch hot surfaces.
- Check placement: Ensure the unit has adequate clearance on all sides and is not enclosed in a tight cabinet.
- Descale: Run a descaling cycle to prevent overheating from scale buildup.
- Monitor temperature: During a short brew, lightly touch non-metallic areas of the housing. Warm is normal; very hot is not.
- If housing becomes very hot or smells of burning: Discontinue use immediately and contact a service technician, as internal insulation or components may be compromised.
