What does Eversys error code S-008 mean?
The Cameo needs its grounds drawer in place to catch used coffee. If the drawer is out, the control stops and shows "Please insert the grounds drawer." as S-008. The maker's table puts it simply: the coffee machine can only continue if the grounds drawer is inserted. It gives no other cause or action. When the drawer is slid fully back in, the machine should carry on. The identical text on S-007 is for a drawer that has been out longer than allowed, which adds a question about emptying it. This message does not have that step. If the drawer is in and the message stays, the switch that detects the drawer may not be reading it. It appears whenever the drawer is pulled out and the control is asked to carry on without it.
