What Water circuit empty. Press OK to start filling process means

On the Bertazzoni CM242WTXT built-in coffee machine, this message means the water circuit is empty. Press OK and let the water drain from the spout; that fills the circuit and clears the air. It tends to appear after the tank ran dry, was taken out, or a filter was changed. Until the circuit is filled, the machine cannot brew or heat properly.

Common causes of Water circuit empty. Press OK to start filling process

  • The tank ran dry so the circuit lost its water
  • Air in the circuit after removing the tank or filter
  • A tank that is not seated, so water is not reaching the machine
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Fill the tank with fresh water and seat it fully. 2. Place a cup under the spout. 3. Press OK and let the water drain from the spout until the machine finishes. 4. If the message returns, call us.

! Why to stop there
  • Priming only works if the tank has water, so running it dry makes things worse.
  • A circuit that will not fill points to a blockage or pump matter inside.
  • We give a written price first, and our repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Water circuit empty. Press OK to start filling processWater circuit empty. Press OK to start filling process questions
Why does the machine need to prime?

After the circuit empties, air sits where water should be. Pressing OK runs water through until the air is gone, which restores normal brewing. Pressing OK starts that.

How long should water run from the spout?

Let it run until the machine ends the process on its own. Place a cup under the spout to catch the water, and do not interrupt the cycle.

What if priming does not work?

Check the tank is full and seated. If the circuit still reports empty and no water arrives, there may be a blockage or pump problem, and we would diagnose it.
