    It will not let me do that. It’s stuck saying empty drip tray. When I do and reinsert the tray it says please insert the drip tray over and over. I have cleaned and dries the contacts.

SOURCE: Fridge drip tray removal

remove toe kick on bottom of fridge, should be some screws on both sides. tray slides out, maybe not all the way dont force, there is a float mechanism that will stop it from coming out all the way, use some paper towels or rags to soak up the stagnant water, this pan should have a heater hooked up to it to evaporate the water, the installer should have hooked this up on installation, they dont hook it up at the factory to get a better EER out the factory door, just trace back to the pan and hook up any unplugged wires going to it, good luck

SOURCE: I have a three month old Miele CVA 4066. I have

your brew unit is clogged. It will need to be removed and cleaned every 24 hours as per the owners manual. There is a yellow laminated card in the box with the accessories that shows step by step how to perform the 24 hour maintenance. To prolong the life of the brew unit, make sure the coffee grind size lever is in the middle or to the right of center, rather than the left (fine) side. Also, you only want to use dry beans, preferably espresso beans. Oily beans like french roast will clog that brew unit up very quickly.

Hi, what is the parts serial no for contact springs in Miele CVA5065?

Miele are the only people that sell spare parts and the drip tray contacts aren't listed. You should always test contact components for continuity with a digital multimeter before replacing items on guesses.

Miele CVA 6805 says please insert drip tray when it is inserted. I've tried cleaning etc. Any help would be awesome.

Here is the service manual. You need to check the switch that registers that the tray is in place. These machines need dealer service every 6 to 9 months.

https://www.servicemanuals.net/en/miele-cva6805 Double check with the Vendor because the Description says 'Microwave'.

CVA 4066 built-in Coffee System. Why doesn't it dispense more than a tiny bit of coffee into a cup?

Just so you know, we are Fixya, we aren't Miele.

You need a seal kit, basically a set of o-rings for the brew head. This machine ends up in Fixya far too frequently!

Built in Miele Coffee Maker: why do i need to empty drip tray so often when there is always a container under the dispenser?

The Drip tray is where the system rinses to when the unit powers up or down and goes through the rinse cycle - there is a drain valve on the Brew unit drive that empties into the drip tray

I have one of the built in Miele coffee machines; the rinse water and coffee are draining into the drip pan; no liquid is coming out any nozzles; I have cleaned everything I know; any suggestions?

Depending on the model number - it sounds like the Drain valve on the brew unit drive is stuck. This happens over time - the valve gets gummed up and then will not open and all the water that was tagged for the brew unit gets dumped into the drip tray

I have a Miele coffe maker and its stuck on empty the drip tray cycle....cannot recognize that the drip tray has been emptied. How can I get out of this mode.?

I just posted this solution in another model.

I have a Miele CVA 4085 built-in coffee maker which had a similar problem to this and other problems where it gets locked into a state where it demands you empty the drip tray even though it is empty. In my case it was at the end of a cleaning cycle and refused to go on. Cutting power and restarting always had it return to the same state: Cleaning, empty drip tray.

I cleaned the contacts on the drip tray and at the back using the nail file, still nothing. Then I found a post on how to get into the programming menu, which on the CVA 4085 is this:
  1. Open the door and switch off the power with the rocker switch on the top left.Wait at least 5 seconds.
  2. Switch the rocker on then VERY QUICKLY close the door and hold the clear button for 5 seconds.
  3. With your other finger touch the ON button then pull both fingers away at the same time.
  4. Do 5 rapid presses of the clear button but hold your finger down on the last press and keep holding it down until the programming menu comes up.
  5. Do not press the reset button that you see at the top of the menu (unless your German is quite good or you have access to Google Translate).
  6. Scroll down until you find the reset cleaning button and select it. Once you have confirmed you can then exit programming mode by powering off.
It took me quite a while to get to this point, but at least I can now recognize the German word for drip tray.

Cva 4070 drip tray issue

Miele CVA 4066 -Empty drip tray warning would not go off even after draining the drip tray, cleaning contacts, and resetting power. Water was coming out from under the empty tray.
I pulled unit out and removed sheet metal in rear around water inlet. when I attached water line and power cord & turned on power, I could see water dripping out of one of the 2 solonoids on the water inlet valve. $168.00 from Miele and no expensive service call.
