# JennAir CLOSE DOOR!: the service door in front of the brewing unit is open

The JennAir service door is opened by pulling on the hot water and steam spout, and it covers the brewing unit, the drip tray and the grounds container.

## What CLOSE DOOR! actually means.

The JennAir service door is opened by pulling on the hot water and steam spout, and it covers the brewing unit, the drip tray and the grounds container. The machine checks that it is closed before each drink. A tray or container left a little proud is enough to keep it from latching.

What to do when CLOSE DOOR! shows on the coffee machine

### Kind of code Brew unit

The brew unit did not reach the position the control expected, or could not press and brew as it should: it is caked with old grounds, dry where it needs its grease, jammed by a dose too large, or its drive and seals are worn. On a machine with a removable unit, lifting it out with the power off and rinsing it is the owner's check; a fixed unit is cleaned by its own cycle, and anything past that is a visit.

### Usually leads to Coffee machine brew unit repair

Resealing, lubricating or replacing the brew unit that tamps the grounds and presses water through them, removable or fixed.

### 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 JennAir

A JennAir built-in coffee maker that has gone quiet or started dripping is checked in the kitchen, beginning with the tray sensor and the tank contacts.

## Questions about CLOSE DOOR!.

### Can I clear CLOSE DOOR! myself?

Push the drip tray and grounds container fully back so nothing sticks out past the door line. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### How do I open the service door on a JennAir coffee system?

Pull on the hot water and steam spout at the front. The door swings open to show the brewing unit, drip tray and grounds container.

### Why does coffee leak around the JennAir service door?

JennAir points to spout holes clogged with dry coffee or a blocked coffee feed inside the door. Clean the spouts and the feed, especially near the hinges.

### Will my JennAir make hot water with CLOSE DOOR! showing?

No. The door has to be closed before any drink, hot water included.
