The service menu is an essential diagnostic tool for testing individual components and sensors. It also displays detailed machine statistics and stored error codes.

These instructions are also applicable to other Siemens/Bosch bean-to-cup models, as the machines share a similar internal architecture.

Step-by-step repair guide

Step 1

Power the machine on as usual.

Touch the "Menu" field — it appears slightly darker than the surrounding icons. This opens the standard settings menu (language, water hardness, etc.), but this is not the service menu yet.

Simultaneously touch the first (espresso) and last (hot water) beverage-selection fields. Both fields will appear dark while held.

Continue holding until the selection fields illuminate brightly. The service menu will now appear on the display.

Step 2

Scroll through the available options by touching the V-shaped (arrow) area to advance one step at a time.

Launch the selected menu item by touching the start/stop area.

There are numerous items to choose from, and most are largely self-explanatory (displayed in English).

The component test and the sensor test are of particular importance — use these to verify the brew unit, thermoblock, pump, grinder, and other key assemblies.

Other valuable sections include the error memory and the log files, which record fault codes and operational history.

Press the power button to exit the service menu and return to normal operation.

Conclusion

Once you have completed your diagnostics, simply press the power button to exit the service menu. The machine will return to its normal operating mode, ready for regular use.
