What Push the water container in until it engages
actually means.
Descaling and milk pipework cleaning each need a set amount of water, marked by symbols on the container. If the container is below that mark or not locked in, the program ends early and this message appears. Filling to the correct symbol and restarting the program is the fix.

What to do when Push the water container in until it engages shows on the coffee machineKind of codeWater and tank
The machine asked for water and did not get what it expected: the tank is empty, sits off its seat or has a float the sensor cannot see, air is trapped in the line, or the flowmeter counted too little water passing in the time allowed. On a plumbed unit the same message can mean a closed shutoff, a kinked supply hose or a clogged inlet valve. Reseating a full tank and running a rinse clears the simple cases; a pump that hums with nothing moving is a visit.

Testing and replacing the pump that drives water through the coffee, with the flowmeter that counts each cup and the valves beside it.
Shows up asWhat 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.

The coffee machine set flush into a tall kitchen cabinet, filled from a water tank behind its front, grinding beans and brewing each cup on its own before sliding out on rails for service.
Plumbed coffee system
The built-in coffee machine connected to the house water supply, filling itself through an inlet valve and sometimes draining its rinse water to a line of its own, so nobody ever lifts out a tank.
Countertop espresso machine
The fully automatic bean-to-cup machine that stands on the counter, grinding, tamping, brewing and frothing at the touch of a key, with its tank, hopper and grounds drawer all reached from the top and the front.
