Each coffee drops a pressed puck into the grounds container. When the container is judged full, the CM242WTXT asks for it and the drip tray to be emptied and cleaned before making more coffee. Bertazzoni coffee machine display What to do when Empty grounds container shows on the coffee machine ### Kind of code Grounds and drip tray The machine thinks the grounds container is full or missing, or the drip tray is full or out of place, and it will not brew until that changes. Most machines count the pucks rather than weigh them, so the message returns if the container is emptied while the power is off or put back too quickly. When it stays after a proper emptying, the tray contacts, the sensor or the counter on the board is checked at the visit. ### Usually leads to Coffee machine diagnostic visit A visit that brews and froths with you watching, reads the machine's own counters, then tests grinder, brew unit, pump and heater until one part is named. ### Shows up as What a Coffee Machine Error Code or Warning Symbol Means A coffee machine error code may show as a short string of letters and numbers, a flashing symbol for water, grounds or the brew unit, a short sentence on a text display, or a machine that stops with one light blinking. ### Make Bertazzoni When a Bertazzoni coffee machine stops pouring, the visit starts at the water tank seat and the grounds drawer before any part is suspected. ### Source Bertazzoni CM242WTXT 24-inch built-in coffee maker installation, user and maintenance manual (US) Bertazzoni's only US coffee machine, the Professional Series CM242WTXT 24-inch built-in coffee maker with a 4.3-inch touch display.

Open the service door, slide out the drip tray and lift off the grounds container. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why must I empty the Bertazzoni grounds container every time I take out the drip tray? Taking out the tray tells the machine the grounds were emptied, and it starts counting again from zero. Grounds left behind let the container overfill and can clog the machine. ### Where is the grounds container on the Bertazzoni built-in coffee maker? Behind the service door at the front, resting on the drip tray. Both come out together. ### Is it bad if my Bertazzoni drip tray fills quickly? Some water in the tray after rinses is normal, and Bertazzoni notes that small puffs of steam and drips after use are part of normal running. A tray that overflows between cups is worth a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Bertazzoni Empty grounds container: time to clear the used pucks](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/error-codes/bertazzoni-empty-grounds-container/)** **[Book a visit with CoffeeMachineRepair.center](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
