Possible Causes
Air in pump inlet line, Reservoir not fully seated causing air ingestion, Scale buildup increasing pump load, Failing vibration pump mounts
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep hands away from moving parts while the unit is running. Unplug before repositioning.
Steps:
- Ensure the reservoir is full and firmly seated to prevent air from entering the pump.
- Run 1–2 brew cycles with plain water to purge air from the system.
- Descale the machine to reduce pump load and internal restriction.
- Make sure the coffee maker is on a stable, level surface; vibration can be amplified on thin countertops.
If the noise is very loud and persists, the vibration pump or its rubber mounts may be worn and require replacement.
