Eversys Coffee Machine Error Code S-014: Rinse Necessary
S-014 says a rinse is necessary, and the boiler will not heat until it has been done. Press the rinse key in the upper right corner of the display and let the rinse finish. If S-014 returns right after a completed rinse, call us.
Low: an operator prompt that clears with a rinse; the unit is not damaged.

What does Eversys error code S-014 mean?
After start-up or a long idle period the Cameo wants a rinse before it heats the boiler. The control holds heating back until someone presses the rinse key, so it displays S-014 and waits. This is an operator step, not a sign that anything has broken, and staff usually clear it in under a minute. The rinse flushes the water paths and confirms the machine is ready to brew. If the rinse is interrupted, for example by pressing other keys partway through, the control may not count it, and the message stays. Water supply matters as well: if the tap is closed or flow is poor, the rinse cannot finish. A rinse that completes normally and still leaves S-014 on the display is the unusual case, and it suggests the control is not registering the completed cycle. The message does not point to a part, and a technician would confirm the rinse runs from start to end before looking further. The display text is S-014.

- Rinse not yet run since start-up
- Rinse interrupted before it completed
- Water supply closed during the rinse
Other likely causes — what usually sits behind error code S-014 on this control. A technician confirms which one it is before any part is replaced.
- A rinse key that responds only to some presses after the screen has been wiped wet
- A rinse that starts and stops early because of low water flow
Safe checks before calling for service
- Press the rinse key in the upper right corner of the display.
- Let the rinse finish without pressing other keys.
- Check that the water tap is open if no water comes out during the rinse.
- If S-014 returns right after a completed rinse, call us and tell us how long the rinse ran.
How a technician diagnoses error code S-014
- Run the rinse and watch the whole cycle from start to finish.
- Verify water flow during the rinse.
- Check that the rinse key on the display responds.
- Check the water inlet valve and flow meter if the rinse stops early.
- Check the control's behavior with a completed rinse and replace the display or board only after the test.
- If a completed rinse does not clear the message, the cause is inside the control, not at the keypad.
- Tracing it needs the machine's own data read on the control by a technician.
- Low water flow during the rinse can come from the inlet valve or flow meter, which sit behind the panels.

Is S-014 a breakdown?
No. It is a request for a rinse, and most operators clear it in under a minute.
Why does it come back after a long break?
The machine asks for a rinse after idle time before it will heat, so it can show up again at the next start-up.
What if I pressed rinse and nothing happened?
Check the tap is open and that the display responds. If it still does not run, call us.
