What EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER
actually means.
The grounds container and drip tray sit behind the door, under a lower trim that drops down to give access. Fisher & Paykel ties the two together: whenever the drip tray comes out, the grounds container must be emptied too, even if nearly empty, or the next drinks can overfill it and clog the machine. The bin also asks to be emptied 72 hours after the first coffee of a batch.

What to do when EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER shows on the coffee machineKind of codeGrounds 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 toCoffee 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 asWhat 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Open the door and drop the lower trim to reach the drip tray and grounds container.
Take both out, empty them, and clean away all coffee residue with the spatula or brush provided.
Refit the drip tray and grounds container and close the door.
If the message stays with both parts clean and in place, book a visit.
Still there?
It usually turns into coffee machine diagnostic visit. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
The message is not triggered by the drip tray water level, which shows with a red indicator on the tray. It also does not mean coffee is spilling inside; that comes from leaving the bin too long.

In Fisher & Paykel's own words
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be emptied too, even if it contains few grounds.

Still showing EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER?
Three things make the booking useful: the message or number exactly as the display showed it, the full model number from the plate, and whether the machine still grinds and pours at all. Send those and the likely part can be looked up before the van leaves.
