# Jura Drip tray not fitted: the tray is not seated

The machine checks that the tray is in place before it lets water run.

## What Drip tray not fitted actually means.

The machine checks that the tray is in place before it lets water run. A tray pushed in at an angle, or with the grounds container sitting wrong inside it, can read as missing.

What to do when Drip tray not fitted shows on the coffee machine

### Kind of code Grounds 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 to Coffee 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 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 Jura

Jura coffee machines are fixed where they stand, and the visit opens with a look at the cleaning and filter history the owner can recall.

### Source JURA E8 instructions for use (North America)

E8 and ENA 8 (North America), same wording on both.

01

## Questions about Drip tray not fitted.

### Can I clear Drip tray not fitted myself?

Pull the drip tray out and check that the grounds container sits correctly inside it. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### My Jura says Drip tray not fitted but the tray is in. Why?

It is probably not fully seated. Pull it out and push it straight in until it stops.

### Can I make hot water on my Jura without the drip tray?

No. Jura blocks all products until the tray is fitted.

### Could a cracked Jura drip tray cause this message?

A damaged tray may not sit properly. If a new tray does not clear it, book a visit.
