Why can't I reinsert the brewing unit?
Hi,
I removed the brewing unit for the weekly cleaning. It went out, but not very easily (it does so more often).
After cleaning and rinsing the unit, I went to reinsert it again. Unfortunately it doesn't slide in anymore .
It feels like it's stuck in the middle part, where the motor pin (with three slots) resides. The outer sides of the brewing unit do have some moving space, the middle hasn't. When I observe it closely, it seems to be in place with the brewing units three pins.
Pushing it by force can slide it a bit more, but I didn't dare to go fully. Removing it after this exercise was only possible by helping it slide by pressing outward from the inside in the tray area.
Anyone a solution for this?
I'll add pictures of the inside and the brewing unit. .

As I can see, the slots and pins are not exactly aligned (focus on 6 O' clock slot, the pins are not in the (mirrored) same place).
By inserting the brewing module and pushing it askew a bit (from within the tray area) I was able to get it in place.
Locked it with the handle, turned the machine on and... Fingers crossed....
After start-up sequence, it seems to function okay.
I can extract the brewing module with ease again and insert it as I always did.
Hope this machine stays calibrated like this.
