# JennAir INSERT BREWING UNIT: the brewing unit is out or not latched

JennAir asks for the brewing unit to be taken out and cleaned every month.

## What INSERT BREWING UNIT actually means.

JennAir asks for the brewing unit to be taken out and cleaned every month. It can only come out with the machine switched off at On/Standby, and it goes back onto a support and a pin at the bottom, then clicks in with the two red release buttons popping out. A unit that is only partly on its pin brings this message up.

What to do when INSERT BREWING UNIT 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

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for INSERT BREWING UNIT on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Put the machine to standby with its On/Standby button and wait out the rinse; only then pull the spout so the door swings open, and remove the cup tray and grounds container.

02

Slide the brewing unit onto its support and bottom pin and press PUSH until it clicks and both red buttons spring out.

03

If it will not go in, squeeze its moving parts together top and bottom first, then try again without forcing it.

04

Refit the tray and container and close the door; book a visit if the message stays.

## Questions about INSERT BREWING UNIT.

### Can I clear INSERT BREWING UNIT myself?

Put the machine to standby with its On/Standby button and wait out the rinse; only then pull the spout so the door swings open, and remove the cup tray and grounds container. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### How often should I clean the JennAir brewing unit?

Once a month. Take it out with the machine switched off at On/Standby, rinse it and refit it until it clicks.

### Why won't the JennAir brewing unit go back in?

Its moving parts may have shifted. Squeeze the unit together at both ends so it shortens, then guide it back onto its pin.

### Can I pull the JennAir brewing unit out while the machine is on?

No. JennAir says it cannot be removed while switched on, and forcing it can damage it.
