What FILL BEAN CONTAINER
actually means.
A TCM24 reports an empty hopper whenever its grinder spins and no beans arrive. Glossy or flavored beans cling to one another and arch over the opening, so Thermador asks you to wipe the container dry and move to a less oily bean.

What to do when FILL BEAN CONTAINER shows on the coffee machineKind of codeGrinder and beans
The grinder ran and too little came through, or it did not run at all: the hopper is empty, an oily or flavored bean is bridging over the burrs, a small stone or a clump has jammed them, or the burrs themselves are worn so the grind has turned coarse. Topping up with dry, plain beans and letting the machine try again clears most of it; a grinder that clicks, hums or stays silent with a full hopper needs its burrs and motor checked.
Usually leads toCoffee machine grinder repair
Clearing and renewing the burr grinder: jammed beans, a stone between the burrs, worn burrs, and the motor and gearbox that turn them.
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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for FILL BEAN CONTAINER on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Give the bean container a light tap so the beans drop into the grinder.
Once it is empty, wipe the inside with a dry cloth to remove the oil film.
Refill with a less oily, unflavored bean; if the grinder runs but still grinds nothing with plain beans, book a visit.
Still there?

What not to do
A grinder that makes no sound at all is a motor or power question, not an empty hopper reading. Coffee that pours thin while beans are present is a grind setting matter.

Grinder and beans on other makes
Built-in coffee system
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.
In Thermador's own words
If the display shows FILL BEAN CONTAINER although the container is already full, the beans are too oily

Still showing FILL BEAN CONTAINER?
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.
