Delonghi Magnifica Bean to Cup machine?

A stuck drip tray on a De’Longhi Magnifica usually means the tray or grounds-container sensor isn’t detecting it properly, which triggers the red warning light and locks the buttons. Unplug the machine, wait a few minutes, then pull the tray out firmly — check for coffee grounds, debris, or a stuck float in the drip tray, as this often blocks the sensor. Clean and dry the tray, make sure the float moves freely, then re-insert it fully and evenly. After plugging back in, the warning light should clear. If it doesn’t, the tray sensor may be faulty and the machine may need servicing.
