Breville Coffee Maker Error Codes — Complete List

Breville espresso machines (BES920/BES870/BES880 series) report unrecoverable errors as E1/E2/E3 on the LCD — the manual is explicit that these cannot be reset by the user. The safe path is always to document the exact code, turn to STANDBY/off, and call Breville Consumer Support for authorization and repair.

• E1 E1 (along with E2/E3) is Breville's unrecoverable error family — the machine detected an internal fault it can't clear.
• E2 Same E-family unrecoverable error — E2 indicates a control/thermal/system fault that requires service.
• E3 E3 is the third of Breville's unrecoverable LCD errors — service required.

Don't see your code?

These are sealed-cabinet, mains-powered electronics; never open the machine. Confirm your exact Breville model series before calling, since support paths vary slightly between espresso lines.
