• Verify the power cord is firmly connected to a working 120V outlet and try a different outlet to rule out electrical issues
• Check that the water tank is filled above the minimum line and is clicked completely into place
• Remove the water tank, rinse it thoroughly, and reinstall it ensuring it seats properly
• Open the service door and visually inspect the brew unit area for standing water or visible blockages
• Empty and clean the drip tray, as overflow can trigger pressure sensors
• Remove the bean container and check for coffee beans blocking the bean chute or grinder
• Perform a complete descaling cycle using Miele-approved descaling solution and filtered water to remove mineral buildup
• Turn off the machine by switching the power button to OFF, wait 60 seconds, then switch back ON to perform a full system reset
• Run several brew cycles with just water (no coffee) to test water flow without obstruction
• If error persists after these checks, contact a USA-based Miele service center for warranty service
