Questions
What does Error 11 or 19 mean on the Philips / Saeco?
Machine must adjust to room temperature (Error 11); Error 19 may be a loose plug. Philips's LatteGo 4300/5400 manual says Error 11 means the machine must adjust from cold to room temperature, and to switch it off for 30 minutes. For Error 19 the manual describes a loose power-cord plug at the back of the machine, while Philips's support article groups 11 and 19 as temperature faults with the plug as a fallback. We show both views.
