Mellita Barista error closing coffee powder lid
Posted by: Gast_Marina January 09, 2023 06:22 pm
My Melitta Cafeo barista coffee maker won't let me make coffee because it gives me the error of closing the coffee powder lid.
Please, could someone tell me what is wrong? How can I solve it?
Thank you very much

Hello, check whether there is a contact nose on the powder compartment lid or a magnet.
Either the nose is broken off, which would then lead to the contact switch not being actuated, or if it is a magnet, then the magnet will be weak or the reed contact defective.
Friendly greetings Chris

Can the reed switch simply be removed or bridged by connecting the two cables? I can't get on with this message, I managed to get rid of the message for a while with an "external" magnet. But now it no longer works. Since I do not use powdered coffee anyway, I would like to "disable" this function completely.

Hello, so you could.
Unfortunately, when cleaning with the cleaning tablets which are given via the powder compartment lid
in the brewing unit then again an error message. It would make more sense to install a new reed contact.
