# Fisher & Paykel INSERT MILK CONTAINER: the jug has not reached its connection

Milk drinks draw from a container that attaches to the front connection, with a froth dial on its lid.

## What INSERT MILK CONTAINER actually means.

Milk drinks draw from a container that attaches to the front connection, with a froth dial on its lid. The machine needs it pushed fully in before it will start. The milk container is the one part of the coffee maker that Fisher & Paykel allows in a dishwasher.

What to do when INSERT MILK CONTAINER shows on the coffee machine

### Kind of code Milk system

The milk system could not draw, heat or foam the milk as it should: a tube pinched or not pushed fully onto its connector, a frother or valve clogged with dried milk, a skipped cleaning cycle, or a steam valve and seal that no longer hold. Taking the milk parts apart for a rinse where the manual allows, and running the milk cleaning cycle, clears most of it; steam hissing from the wrong place or a frother that stays cold is a visit.

### Usually leads to Coffee machine milk system repair

Restoring the froth: the milk tube, the frother, the air inlet, the milk valve and the cleaning cycle that keeps them clear.

### 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 Fisher & Paykel

A Fisher and Paykel built-in coffee maker is looked at where it stands in the cabinet, with the drip tray, the tank and the milk tube checked on the counter first.
