Why is my Cuisinart DGB-900 continuously beeping?

  Christine NealJul 28, 2025
  Your Cuisinart Coffee Maker might beep continuously due to several reasons: * The hopper isn't locked: Ensure the hopper container release knob is in the locked position. * The filter door isn't closed: Make sure all filter compartment components are correctly placed and the filter door clicks shut. * The filter basket isn't in place: Ensure the filter basket with cover is correctly hooked onto the door, and the door is closed properly. * The filter basket cover isn't in place: Ensure the cover is correctly placed, matching the grind arrows, and the filter basket with cover is hooked onto the door before closing. * The filter basket hasn't been emptied: Remove used grounds from the filter basket.

  If your Cuisinart Coffee Maker isn't grinding beans, it could be because: * Ground coffee is packed too tightly in the chute: Remove the hopper, lift the coffee channel cover, clean out the coffee chute, and then replace the channel cover and hopper. * The hopper is too full: Remove some beans from the hopper.

What to do if 'CLEAN BASKET' appears on my Cuisinart DGB-900 Coffee Maker?

  If 'CLEAN BASKET' appears on the LCD display of your Cuisinart Coffee Maker, it means coffee grounds and the filter from previous use are still in the filter basket. Remove the filter and used coffee grounds, then add a new filter. Note that the filter basket door must be open for at least 5 seconds to turn off the CLEAN BASKET message.
