How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before manipulating the reservoir or tilting the unit.

  • Check reservoir valve and fill level: Ensure water flows freely from the reservoir valve when pressed.
  • Prime the pump: Use a turkey baster to force water into the base inlet, then run water-only brews.
  • Descale: Remove internal scale that may block flow.
  • Persistent humming with no flow: The pump may have a broken impeller and need replacement.
