Help - K3000SE Lift Handle Sensor

Hello everyone,

Picking your brain cuz I'm at a loss....lol...The machine stays in one mode. Keeps telling me to lift handle so I assume it always thinks it's closed. Whether the lift is open or closed, screen wont budge.

I did everything, cleaned the inside top and bottom to make sure it's not clogged. Paper clipped the holes, cleaned underneath where the water comes out, cleaned the cup sensor.

The only thing I can do at this point is choose language and have Hot Water...lol

Researched if there's a reset method but didn't find anything.

It was unplugged for the entire weekend and this morning, after heating cycle, bam, back at lift handle.

HELP lol

Thanks for your time,

Nathalie
