Eversys Coffee Machine Error Code S-106: Initializing, Please Wait

What does Eversys error code S-106 mean?

S-106 is a start-up message on the Eversys Cameo. The screen reads "Initialize, please wait..." and the e'Support table gives the meaning in one line: the machine is initializing. The action is equally short: just wait until the coffee machine is initialized. When the machine is switched on, the control has to bring its parts to a known starting state before it accepts orders, and while that happens it shows this text. No causes are listed because it is an ordinary stage of every start, and there is nothing to fix. The table gives no length of time and does not say what follows, but other messages in the same table, such as S-105 (rinse necessary), can appear after start-up. The practical point for staff is patience: pressing buttons or switching the machine off during initialization only starts the process over. A technician only needs to look at it if the message does not end after what feels like a clearly long time.

Affected models and control systems

Eversys Cameo range (Cameo/Core, Classic, ST and in-box versions). The message is listed in Eversys' e'Support table of operator stop messages for Cameo, and the table gives no board revision or model limit.

Code numbers and their meaning can change between control generations. We match the full model and control before acting on a code.

What you may notice

• The screen shows "Initialize, please wait..."
• The machine has just been switched on
• Motors or valves may move on their own during start-up

Possible causes

Likely causes — what usually sits behind error code S-106 on this control. A technician confirms which one it is before any part is replaced.

• Machine is starting up and bringing its parts to their starting position
• Power was interrupted just before, so the machine restarts from the beginning
• A part that cannot reach its start position keeps the initialization from finishing
• Staff keep pressing keys and restarting, so the process never completes

Safe checks before calling for service

How a technician diagnoses error code S-106

1. Confirm S-106 against the Cameo table and ask how long the start-up lasts.
2. Observe which parts move and whether any stops partway.
3. Check the next message to see where the start-up stalls.
4. Check supply voltage and the connection between display and control.
5. Test the stalled part before replacing it.

How error code S-106 differs from similar codes

S-106 is the first stage of start-up. S-105 can follow, asking for the rinse before the boiler heats.
