What INSERT GROUNDS CONTAINER
actually means.

The grounds container fits into the drip tray area under the lower trim. The coffee maker will not brew without it, because each dose ends as a puck that has to drop somewhere. The fix Fisher & Paykel gives is to take the drip tray out and set the container back in with it.

Back to your everyday

Still showing INSERT 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.
