How to check the error log

Open Settings on the touch screen, then About the Machine, then Software version. On that screen tap each bottom corner of the screen several times. Go back to About the Machine and a new Service center mode entry appears. Open it to view the error log.

Clear the log after a repair so you can tell whether the fault has really gone.

Beyond the fix

Did you knowThe manual says a steam wand with blocked tip holes reduces frothing, and Settings has a guided steam wand cleaning routine. After milk, the Auto Purge function may release hot steam.

Tips and tricks

  • Use Settings, Steam wand cleaning, and follow the on-screen guide. Wipe the wand with a damp cloth after every milk use.manufacturer manual
  • Keep the steam wand tip tightly fastened after cleaning. Do not use alkaline cleaning agents on the machine.manufacturer manual
  • On another Oracle model, seals under the wand tip protect the temperature sensor from steam. A technician says nicked or worn rings can leak.technician video

Common mistakes

  • Letting milk dry on the tip.
  • Removing and refitting the tip often, which can nick the seals.

Easily confused with

  • E16 is described as a blocked wand or abnormal pressure, while E14 is a missing pressure signal.
