      hcummingsSep 12, 2025
      If your Schaerer Coffee Maker displays 'Right mill blocked', it could be that the grinding fineness setting is too fine. Try setting the grind level to one level coarser. If that doesn't work, the grinder might be blocked, and you should contact your service partner.

    What to do if my Schaerer Coffee Vito Coffee Maker displays 'Brew water fault'?
    • R
      Robert PowersAug 25, 2025
      If your Schaerer Coffee Maker shows a 'Brew water fault', it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the water supply is interrupted; ensure the water tank is filled and correctly installed, or verify water supply if it's a fixed water supply. Another cause might be a blocked brew unit, so clean the brew unit. Also, the grinding fineness setting might be too fine, so set it one level coarser. Finally, the highest quality level can lead to a brew water fault, so lower the quality setting.

      iskinnerAug 26, 2025
      If your Schaerer Coffee Maker displays 'Steam boiler temperature too high', it could be because the steam outlet or beverage outlet is clogged, so you should check and clean them if necessary. It could also be that the machine is overheated, so switch off the coffee machine, let it cool, and then switch it back on. Note that dispensing of beverages is blocked in both cases.

    How to troubleshoot 'Brew water fault' on Schaerer Coffee Vito?
    • C
      Cheryl CarrollSep 12, 2025
      If your Schaerer Coffee Maker displays 'Brew water fault', it could be due to a few reasons. First, check the water supply: ensure the drinking water tank is filled and correctly installed, or if using a mains water supply, check that the main water valve is open. If using Aquaflex, ensure the changeover from mains water supply and drinking water tank is correctly set. Another cause might be a blocked brew unit, requiring cleaning. Additionally, the grinding fineness setting may be too fine, so set it one level coarser. Finally, the highest quality level can lead to this fault, so try setting the quality lower.
