Step-by-Step Fix

Follow these steps specifically for Lavazza machines:

  1. Check that the 🇮🇹 Lavazza power cord is firmly seated in both the machine and wall outlet.
  2. Test the outlet with another device. If the outlet has power, inspect the Lavazza power switch for damage.
  3. Perform a hard reset: unplug the Lavazza machine for 60 seconds, then reconnect. This clears temporary control board faults.
