What INSERT DRIP TRAYS
actually means.
Thermador lists three causes on its troubleshooting page. Two are owner fixes, cleaning the tray holder and pushing the grounds container all the way in; the third, a magnet that is no longer detected, is a service call.

What to do when INSERT DRIP TRAYS shows on the coffee machineKind of codeGrounds 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 toCoffee 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 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 INSERT DRIP TRAYS on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Take out the drip tray and the coffee grounds container and wipe the tray holder inside the machine.
Refit the grounds container and push it all the way to its stop, then slide the tray in fully.
If the prompt still shows, book a visit and mention that the trays are seated.
Still there?
It usually turns into coffee machine diagnostic visit. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
EMPTY DRIP TRAYS is the full-tray reading, not this one. A tray that will not slide in because something is jammed behind it is a separate mechanical issue.

Grounds and drip tray 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
The coffee grounds container is not fully inserted. Make sure to push the coffee grounds container all the way in.

Still showing INSERT DRIP TRAYS?
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.
