  If your Dr.coffee Coffee Maker is showing a 'HMI Communication Error', it could be due to a loose or damaged connection between the main board and display board, a mismatch between the control software and the HMI software, damage to the HMI PCB, or damage to the main board. To resolve this, check the plugs on the HMI PCB and reconnect them. If that doesn't work, update the control software and HMI software. If the problem persists, replace the HMI PCB or the main board.

  If your Dr.coffee Coffee Maker displays a 'Coffee Thermo Block NTC Error', it could be due to a damaged or disconnected connection between the sensor and mainboard, a damaged NTC, or the temperature being over 180?. Check the connection and reconnect or replace the wire. If that doesn't work, replace the NTC. If the temperature is too high, switch off the machine and restart it after 30 minutes to allow it to cool down. If the problem persists, replace the Coffee Thermo Block.
