Troubleshooting
This chapter summarizes the most common problems you could encounter with the appliance. If you are unable to solve the problem with the information below, visit www.philips.com/support for a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.
Problem | Solution |
The appliance does not work. | Put the mains plug in the wall socket and press the on/off button to switch on the appliance. |
| Make sure that the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage. |
| Fill the water reservoir with water. |
| Close the lid of the grinder funnel. |
The grinder does not work or does not work properly. | Make sure that you did not select pre-ground coffee. If the symbol for preground coffee is visible on the display, you selected pre-ground coffee. |
| Clean the grinder funnel by following the instructions (see 'Cleaning the grinder funnel'). |
When I use the grinder, the coffee is too weak. | Make sure that the number of cups you selected is consistent with the amount of water in the water reservoir. Please keep in mind that the coffeemaker uses up all the water in the water reservoir. |
| Use the strength select button to set the coffee strength to 'strong'. |
| Use coffee beans of a stronger blend or flavor. |
When I use pre-ground coffee, the coffee is too weak. | Make sure that the amount of pre-ground coffee in the filter is consistent with the amount of water in the water reservoir. Please keep in mind that the appliance uses all the water in the water reservoir. |
| Use ground coffee of a stronger blend or flavor. |
| To increase the coffee strength, increase the amount of pre-ground coffee or decrease the amount of water. |
The filter overflows when I remove the jug from the appliance while it is brewing coffee. | If you remove the jug for more than 20 seconds during the brewing process, the drip stop causes the filter basket to overflow. Also note that the coffee does not reach its full taste before the end of the brewing process. Therefore we advise you not to remove the jug and pour out the coffee before the end of the brewing process. |
The appliance continues to drip long after the brewing process has ended. | The dripping is caused by condensation of steam. It is completely normal that the appliance drips for some time. |
| If the dripping does not stop, the drip stop may be clogged. To clean the drip stop, open the filter basket holder and take out the filter basket. Rinse the filter basket and the drip stop under the tap. |
The coffee is not hot enough. | The coffee in the jug cools down faster if you brew only a few cups. The coffee stays hot longer if you brew 10 cups, which is a full jug. |
| Descale the appliance (see 'Descaling the coffeemaker'). |
The appliance does not start cleaning the grinder funnel. | Make sure that the appliance is plugged in. |
| Open the lid of the grinder funnel before you press and hold the coffee strength button. |
| Press and hold the coffee strength button for 4 seconds until the grinder starts cleaning itself. |
The appliance works but makes a beeping sound. | Please check if the lid of the grinder funnel is closed properly. |
The coffee beans seem to be used up quickly. | To brew a perfect cup of coffee, the appliance needs a certain amount of ground coffee. The amount of coffee beans the appliance uses to obtain the optimal amount of ground coffee per cup is normal. |
