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.

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.

Still showing Drip tray not fitted?

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.
