SYMPTOM

Maintenance aborted -- push water container in

Appliance: Miele Coffee Machine Models: CVA 7440, CVA 7445, CVA 7845, CVA 7775, CVA 7875

What This Means

A manual maintenance programme (descaling or milk pipework cleaning) was prematurely aborted. The display shows 'Push the water container in until it engages'. The water container was not correctly filled to the required mark or was not seated properly.

🔧 How to Fix

  1. Check that you have filled the water container to the correct mark.
  2. The symbols on the water container indicate the required water level: the descaling symbol for 'Descale appliance' and the cleaning symbol for 'Clean milk pipework'.
  3. Fill the water container up to the relevant mark.
  4. Reinsert the water container until it clicks/engages.
  5. Restart the maintenance process.
