Vertuo Next Machine Support
The best way to quickly troubleshoot your machine alerts is via the Nespresso App. See our Machine Assistance page for pairing assistance. Once your machine is connected to the Wifi, your phone will automatically receive notifications about what to do when an issue occurs.
Here are the most common alerts:
- Unlocked machine: Your machine will not run if not properly closed. Make sure when locking it, to push the lever all the way to the left until it clicks.
- Empty water tank: Make sure the water tank has enough water before starting brewing.
- Eject previous capsule: For quality purposes, Vertuo Next will always require you to eject the previous capsule before brewing the next cup. If you simply wish to top up your coffee, you can do so by pushing the coffee button a second time within 30 seconds after brew.
- Blocked brew unit: The upper part of the brew unit that punctures the capsules may be blocked. Open the head of the machine and carefully try to spin the top round area to make sure it moves in both directions. Once moving, try brewing again.
- Capsule not recognized: Perform a cleaning procedure twice to ensure that there is no residue in the capsule recognition. See this video for cleaning instructions.
- Electronic error: Restart the machine by disconnecting the power cord from the outlet and plug back after 10 seconds. If problem persists, perform factory reset. See our Machine Assistance page for factory reset instructions.
- Descale needed: For optimal performance, your machine must be descaled every 3 months. See this video for descaling instructions.
If problem persists, please contact our toll-free number, 800-562-1465, so we can better assist.
