What MILK CONTAINER CONNECTED?
actually means.
The TCM24 has a sensor in the shelf under the milk container and asks before a milk drink if it detects nothing. Thermador's two causes are position and material: the container must sit at the right edge, and a carton or other jug may not register.

What to do when MILK CONTAINER CONNECTED? shows on the coffee machineKind of codeMilk system
The milk system could not draw, heat or foam the milk as it should: a tube pinched or not pushed fully onto its connector, a frother or valve clogged with dried milk, a skipped cleaning cycle, or a steam valve and seal that no longer hold. Taking the milk parts apart for a rinse where the manual allows, and running the milk cleaning cycle, clears most of it; steam hissing from the wrong place or a frother that stays cold is a visit.

Restoring the froth: the milk tube, the frother, the air inlet, the milk valve and the cleaning cycle that keeps them clear.
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 MILK CONTAINER CONNECTED? on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Slide the milk container against the right edge of its shelf.
If you use a carton or your own jug, answer YES on the screen to carry on.
If the supplied Thermador container at the right edge is still not seen, clean the shelf and book a visit if it persists.
Still there?

What not to do
It is not a frothing problem; milk that is drawn but comes out flat is a milk system cleaning matter. A drink that stops for lack of milk with the tube out of the milk is not this prompt either.

Milk system 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 container is outside the range of the sensor. Make sure to position the container at the right edge.

Still showing MILK CONTAINER CONNECTED??
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.
