Troubleshooting
My Home Café™ brewer runs out of water in the middle of a brew.
If the unit runs out of water, it will automatically stop brewing and the
7 oz., 9 oz and Creamy buttons led lights start flashing at the same time. Refill the water reservoir. Start with a fresh cup and coffee pod and brew your next cup.
The coffeemaker lid is locked and I cannot unlock it.
Did you experience power interruption during the brewing cycle or did unit unexpectedly stop? If you did, the lid automatically stays locked during power interruption. When power resumes, press the STOP button to unlock the lid. Start the brew cycle from the beginning with an empty cup to avoid coffee overflow.
I press a brew button, but nothing happens.
Make sure the unit is plugged in, the water reservoir has the correct amount of water and the lid is locked in place.
If there is still no power to the brewer, call
I press a brew button, but nothing happens and two buttons start blinking at the same time.
