SYMPTOM

'Empty the drip tray and waste container' appears but they are empty

Appliance: Miele Coffee Machine Models: CM 6360, CM 6560

⚠ What This Means

After switching on, 'Empty the drip tray and the waste container' appears even though both are empty. When the drip tray and waste container are emptied while the coffee machine is switched off, the internal counter is not reset.

🔧 How to Fix

  1. Remove the drip tray and waste container from the machine.
  2. Empty them if necessary.
  3. Refit the drip tray and waste container into the machine (this resets the internal counter).
