Open the service door fully and look for a grounds container, drip tray or stray puck sitting proud and stopping it. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### My Wolf EC24 service door looks shut but still says CLOSE DOOR. What now? Open it again and check that the drip tray and grounds container are pushed all the way in, since either one can hold the door off its switch. If everything is seated and the message stays, the door tab or its switch needs replacing. ### Can a broken tab on the Wolf service door be glued? We do not recommend it. The tab has to press the switch the same way every time, and a glued tab tends to shift; a replacement door part is the lasting fix. ### Will my Wolf coffee system make hot water with CLOSE DOOR showing? No. The machine holds every drink until the door switch reports the door closed. --- **[Read on the site: Wolf CLOSE DOOR: the EC24 thinks its service door is open](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/error-codes/wolf-close-door/)** **[Book a visit with CoffeeMachineRepair.center](https://coffeemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
