Krups coffee machine troubleshooting

Whether your Krups coffee machine isn't heating, dispensing coffee, frothing milk or is displaying a warning light, our troubleshooting guides help you diagnose the most common faults and keep your machine performing at its best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why won't my Krups coffee machine stop asking to clean?

Krups machines count brewing cycles rather than simply monitoring time. When the CLEAN indicator or cleaning message appears, the complete automatic cleaning programme must be carried out using the recommended cleaning tablet. Interrupting or skipping the programme means the reminder will remain active until the cycle has been successfully completed.

Why does my Krups coffee machine keep asking to empty the coffee grounds container?

The coffee grounds container must be completely emptied and correctly refitted. On many Krups EA Series machines, replacing the container too quickly after removal can prevent the machine from resetting, so allow a few seconds before refitting it after emptying.

Why is my Krups coffee machine not producing good milk foam?

Krups recommends cleaning the steam nozzle or milk system immediately after every milk preparation. Even small amounts of dried milk can block the air intake holes, reducing steam performance and preventing the machine from producing smooth, creamy milk foam.
