The brew group is stuck and will not come out

SOURCE: it is stuck in mode and I can't get the brew group

Hi
First off put everything back in the machine (drip tray, dredge drawer, and push the brew unit in till you hear a click) then close the door. Turn on the machine and see if it moves. If it doesn't, then try this.

Remove the dredge drawer. Open the door. On the left side of the brewing unit, and towards the back of the brew group, there is a single screw. Remove the screw. Grab the handle and pull carefully, but firmly with a quick ****. The brew group should come out. There is a piece that remains in the machine. Slide the piece down and to the right and it will come off. Insert the piece into the hole on the backside of the brew group with the clip up. Tighten the screw and move brew group back into position. If your brew group did not come out please give us a call.
To return the brew group to the centered position, you first need to drop the funnel. To do this, look on the opposite side of the brew group from the handle. At the top you will see an object that looks like a sharks fin. If you follow this piece down you will see 2 horizontal bars on the brew group body. Push your finger between these 2 bars and the funnel will drop. Now you can push the puck slide on the left side down and to the center. If you look down through the funnel you should see a piston. This should be centered in the funnel. If not, locate the slide on the left side of the brew unit,( it should be hanging down, a flat rectangular piece attached to the cylinder) and push the slide to the right until it does. Push the press button and you are now ready to reinsert the brew group in to the machine. First you must close the door and turn on the machine without having the brew group in. You will hear the motor turn on and when it stops completely, open the door and remove the tray, now insert the brew group and replace the tray.

There are only a few parts on the brew unit that are replaceable, you might have to get a new one check with servicesunlimited, they might have either the diagram or the part needed.

Open the door on the right. The brew unit is the thing with the handle that has the push on it. You need to push on the upper left side of the brew unit until it clicks. There is an outlet spout on the opposite side of where you are pushing. It goes into an intake port that needs to be lubed, so the outlet spout will slide in without pushing back. That should take care of the missing brew unit.

I had the same problem and just tried the above. The most important part was how to reset the drive problem so the brew group lined up with the drive shaft (in other words I could put the brew group all the way in the way it should be). The next problem was making sure I pushed the brew group in hard enough so the ! warning light went out. Once this was done I was back in action. Thanks to the above for their solution.
