Question 1

my ninja dualbrew pro is leaking water from the bottom of the machine, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

First, identify the leak source. A leak from the bottom of the brewer itself requires service. If leak is above the brew basket: This is a brew basket overflow. Cause: clogged basket from too many grounds, fine grind, or using both paper and permanent filters. Fix: Clean the basket and permanent filter. Use medium-grind coffee and only one type of filter. If leak is below the brew basket (dripping from spout when carafe is removed): The drip stop is open. Close the drip stop lever on the front of the brewer. If leak is from the bottom of the brewer unit: Stop use. Unplug the machine. This indicates an internal failure. Contact Ninja Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288. HEADS UP: A small amount of water in the reservoir valve after removal is normal—wipe with a dry cloth. That's not a leak. A genuine leak from the base is a safety issue; do not attempt to repair it yourself.

Question 2

can i run just water through my ninja dualbrew pro to clean it without using the clean cycle?

Accepted Answer

No. A water-only flush cycle will not descale the brewer. It only rinses the system. DIAGNOSIS: Mineral scale (calcium/lime) from hard water builds up inside the heater and tubes. Only acid (vinegar or descaling solution) can dissolve it. FIX: You must run the full 75-minute clean cycle with a descaling agent. Use white vinegar or a coffeemaker descaling solution. Follow the fill instructions: 16 oz vinegar, then top with water to the Full line. Initiate with CLEAN then START BREW. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If scale buildup is severe (indicated by a "CLn" message), one cycle may not be enough. Run a second clean cycle on the same mode. For hard water areas, you may need to descale monthly. HEADS UP: The orange Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator tells you when a clean cycle is recommended. Do not ignore it. If you cancel a clean cycle mid-process, the brewer will not be descaled and you must start over from the step to empty the carafe and clean it.

Question 3

my ninja dualbrew pro over ice brew isn't cold at all, it's just making lukewarm coffee. am i doing it wrong?

Accepted Answer

You're likely not using enough ice. The Over Ice brew works by brewing hot coffee directly onto a full cup of ice, which melts and cools it instantly. FIX: Choose your cup or travel mug. Fill it all the way to the top with ice cubes. Don't skimp. Select the Over Ice brew style on the control panel. Brew as normal. The machine brews at a higher temperature to lock in flavor, and the full cup of ice is designed to cool it to the perfect drinking temperature. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If the coffee is still warm, double-check that you've selected the Over Ice brew style (the ice cube icon), not Classic or Rich. Also, ensure you're using a standard size (like 16 oz or 24 oz) that matches the ice-to-coffee ratio the brewer is calibrated for. HEADS UP: The Approximate Brew Volumes chart shows how much liquid coffee you'll get after the ice melts. For example, a 24 oz Over Ice brew will use that much ice, and the final coffee volume will be less as the ice melts and dilutes it.

Question 4

how do i clean the sliding lid on my ninja dualbrew pro? it's got coffee gunk stuck in it.

Accepted Answer

Clean the sliding lid by hand. Do not place it in the dishwasher. Procedure: Open the hinged hood on top of the brewer by pulling up on the left side. Slide the sliding lid out of the back of the brewer to remove it. Hand-wash the sliding lid with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Slide the sliding lid back into its tracks in the brewer. Close the hinged hood. Prevention: For routine cleaning after a brew, wash the brew basket, permanent filter, and carafe with warm, soapy water. The sliding lid only needs this detailed cleaning if residue is visible.

Question 5

the "Add Wtr" message keeps coming up on my ninja dualbrew pro but the reservoir is full, what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Yeah, this one's common. The sensor isn't detecting the water properly. It usually means the reservoir isn't seated all the way or there's a connection issue. FIX: Remove the water reservoir completely. Check that the Configurable Water Reservoir Latch on the back of the brewer is installed securely. Re-install the reservoir. Hook it onto the side or back of the brewer first, then press it down firmly into the water reservoir base until it clicks into place. Press the START BREW button to resume your cycle. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If the message persists with a full, properly seated reservoir, there might be a fault. Unplug the brewer for 60 seconds, then plug it back in and try again. If "Add Wtr" still shows, you'll need to contact Ninja Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288. HEADS UP: After you remove the reservoir, it's normal to find a small amount of water in the reservoir valve. You can wipe it out with a dry cloth. That leftover water isn't causing the error message.

Question 6

my ninja dualbrew pro coffee is coming out super weak, even when i use the same amount of grounds as my old machine. how do i fix it?

Accepted Answer

Weak coffee is usually a brew style or measurement issue. Here's the fastest fix. Immediate fix: Select the Rich brew style. This extracts more flavor. For an even bolder cup, add more coffee grounds to the filter. Check your grind: Ensure you're using a medium-grind coffee. Finely ground coffee can clog the basket and lead to poor extraction. Verify the mode: Make sure the Hot Water Dial is turned completely to the coffee bean icon for brewing coffee, not the water droplet. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If it's still weak on the Rich setting, you might be under-measuring for the carafe size. Use the Ninja Smart Scoop and consult the Coffee Measurement Chart. For a full carafe on Rich, you need more grounds than for a Classic brew of the same size. HEADS UP: Decaf coffee grounds absorb water differently. If you're brewing decaf, use fewer scoops than the chart recommends for regular coffee to avoid overpacking the filter, which can also cause weak, under-extracted coffee.

Question 7

ninja dualbrew pro keeps splattering coffee everywhere, how do i stop it?

Accepted Answer

Some splatter is normal, but you can minimize it. The main fix is reducing the distance the coffee has to fall. FIX: Always use the single-serve cup platform when brewing into a mug or travel mug. This lifts your cup closer to the coffee outlet. If you're using the carafe, make sure the brew-through lid is properly seated on the carafe. If you're brewing pods, double-check that the Ninja Pod Adapter is correctly installed over the brew basket. The handle must be closed. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If splatter is excessive, it could be due to a clog. Check the brew basket for overflow, which can happen with too many grounds or a very fine grind. Clean the brew basket and permanent filter thoroughly, and consider using a slightly coarser grind of coffee. HEADS UP: Using both a paper filter and the permanent filter together can cause grounds to clog and water to back up, leading to overflow and more splatter. Use one or the other, not both.

Question 8

my ninja dualbrew pro coffee maker is showing "CLn" on the display and won't brew, what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

The "CLn" message indicates heavy calcium scale buildup in the heater for the mode you are trying to use. The brewer has stopped to prevent damage and requires an immediate clean/descaling cycle. FIX: Place the empty carafe under the brew basket. Fill the water reservoir to the Travel Mug line (16 oz) with white vinegar. Fill the rest with water up to, but not exceeding, the Full line. Only use white vinegar. Press the CLEAN button, then press the START BREW button to begin the cycle. The cycle takes about 75 minutes. Do not remove the carafe during the cycle. When it finishes, it will beep and display "End". Empty the carafe and clean it thoroughly. Run a water-only flush cycle on the same mode to clear any vinegar taste. Discard that water. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If the "CLn" message returns quickly, you likely have hard water. You may need to run a second clean cycle on the same mode to remove additional buildup. For future prevention, run the clean cycle whenever the orange Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator illuminates. HEADS UP: Hard water causes scale faster. If you ignore the orange indicator, the brewer will eventually stop and display "CLn". Never cancel a clean cycle mid-process—if you do, the brewer will not be descaled properly and you will need to start the full cleaning process over.

Question 9

can i use my ninja dualbrew pro to make iced coffee with the over ice setting? it never gets cold enough.

Accepted Answer

The Over Ice brew is designed to brew hot coffee directly onto ice, which then cools it. If it's not cold, you're likely not using enough ice. FIX: For the Over Ice setting to work correctly, you must pre-chill your serving vessel with ice. Fill your cup, travel mug, or carafe all the way to the top with ice cubes before you start brewing. Select the Over Ice brew style. The brewer uses elevated temperatures to lock in flavor, then the ice melts and cools the coffee to the intended temperature. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: Check that you're using the correct brew size for your amount of ice. Refer to the Approximate Brew Volumes chart. If you brew more coffee than your ice can cool, it will be lukewarm. Use a larger vessel with more ice, or brew a smaller size. HEADS UP: The Over Ice brew cycle is slower than a classic brew because it uses a different temperature profile. That's normal.

Question 10

the orange clean light is on my ninja coffee maker but i just cleaned it. do i have to run it again?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you likely need to run a clean cycle on a different mode. The Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator tracks scale buildup per mode (Grounds, Pods, Hot Water). FIX: Run a clean cycle on the mode you haven't cleaned recently. If you primarily brew with grounds and last cleaned on Grounds mode, run a clean cycle on Pods mode (with the Pod Adapter installed) or Hot Water mode. If you use pods most, ensure the Pod Adapter is installed and run the clean cycle through it. If you use Hot Water mode at all, run an additional clean cycle in Hot Water mode. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If the light stays on after cleaning all modes, you have hard water causing rapid mineral buildup. You may need to descale more frequently than the indicator suggests. Use a descaling solution or white vinegar, and ensure you run the full 75-minute cycle without cancelling it. HEADS UP: Ignoring the orange light will eventually cause the brewer to stop mid-brew and display "CLn," requiring an immediate clean cycle.

Question 11

ninja dualbrew pro brew basket keeps overflowing with grounds, making a huge mess. what am i doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

Yeah, this one's common. The bottom of the brew basket is clogged, usually from using too fine a grind or too much coffee. FIX: Use a medium-grind coffee. Finely ground coffee is a major culprit. Don't overfill the filter. Refer to the coffee measurement chart—using more than the recommended scoops can cause a clog. Use either the permanent filter or a paper filter, not both. Using both causes grounds to clog and water to back up. If you're using decaf, use fewer scoops. Decaf grounds absorb water differently and can swell more. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If it's still overflowing, clean the permanent filter thoroughly. Sediment can build up in the mesh. Hand-wash it with a soft brush. Also, ensure the sliding lid or Pod Adapter is correctly closed, as an improper seal can affect water flow. HEADS UP: An overflowing basket can cause leaks from above the basket. If you see water there after a brew, this is your likely cause.

Question 12

how do i clean the ninja dualbrew pro frother whisk? can it go in the dishwasher?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can clean the frother whisk in the dishwasher, but hand-washing is also effective and gentler. FIX: Clean the frother whisk after each use to prevent milk residue buildup. For hand-washing, use warm, soapy water and wash it thoroughly. For the dishwasher, place the whisk on the top rack. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If there's dried-on residue, let the whisk soak in warm, soapy water for 10-15 minutes before washing. Do not use abrasive scrubbers or wire brushes, as they can damage the whisk. HEADS UP: Several other parts are dishwasher safe: the glass carafe, brew-through lid, permanent filter, brew basket, water reservoir, water reservoir lid, Ninja Smart Scoop, and the Ninja Pod Adapter pod holder (but not the adapter handle assembly). The sliding lid must be hand-washed.

Question 13

clean cycle light is orange on my ninja dualbrew pro but i just cleaned it

Accepted Answer

Mineral buildup is ongoing, especially in hard water areas. The system detects more scale and is telling you to run another cycle on a different mode. The brewer tracks scale separately for Grounds, Pods, and Hot Water modes. You need to clean the mode you use most often.If you primarily brew with grounds, run the clean cycle on Grounds mode with the Sliding Lid closed. If you primarily use pods, ensure the Ninja Pod Adapter is installed and run the clean cycle on Pods mode. If you use Hot Water mode at all, run an additional clean cycle in Hot Water mode. Procedure: Use white vinegar or a descaling solution. Fill reservoir to 16 oz with vinegar, top with water to Full line. Press CLEAN, then START BREW. It takes 75 minutes. Do not remove the carafe during the cycle. If you ignore the light, the brewer will eventually stop mid-brew and display "CLn," forcing a clean.

Question 14

my ninja coffee maker keeps showing "Add Wtr" even though the reservoir is full. help?

Accepted Answer

The water level sensor isn't making proper contact. The fix is to reset the reservoir connection. FIX: Remove the water reservoir completely. Re-seat it firmly. Ensure it's properly installed on the hook on the side or back of the brewer and pressed down firmly into the water reservoir base. Ensure the Configurable Water Reservoir Latch on the back is installed securely. Press START BREW to resume the cycle. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: The sensor or internal connection may be faulty. Contact Ninja Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288. HEADS UP: "Add Wtr" means the system doesn't have enough water to complete your selected brew size. If the reservoir is truly full and correctly seated, the error is a sensor issue.

Question 15

why is my ninja dualbrew pro not detecting the pod adapter? it just shows the hot water options.

Accepted Answer

The brewer's smart sensors aren't registering the Pod Adapter as installed and locked. FIX: Follow this checklist.Ensure the Ninja Pod Adapter is fully seated in place over the brew basket. Close the adapter handle. Pull it toward you until it clicks into the LOCK position. Ensure the Hot Water Dial on the front is turned completely to the coffee bean icon. Ensure the sliding lid on the hood is fully closed. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: Remove the Pod Adapter and inspect it. Hand-wash the needles and pod holder with warm, soapy water. Debris can block sensors. After cleaning, reinstall it securely and close the handle until it clicks. HEADS UP: The control panel will only display brew sizes and styles for Pods when it confirms the adapter is correctly installed and locked. The system will default to showing Hot Water options if it doesn't detect the adapter.

Question 16

ninja dualbrew pro control panel not showing any brew sizes, it's just blank

Accepted Answer

Yeah, this one's common. The brewer's smart sensing system doesn't detect a properly closed brewing path. It needs to know if you're using grounds, a pod, or just hot water. Check these three things, in order:Sliding Lid: Make sure it's fully slid closed over the brew basket. Ninja Pod Adapter: If you're using it, ensure the handle is closed and pulled toward you until it clicks into the LOCK position. Hot Water Dial: Turn it completely to the coffee bean icon (for grounds/pods) or the water droplet icon (for hot water). It can't be in between. If you've done all that and it's still blank, the sensor might be faulty. Unplug the brewer for 60 seconds, then plug it back in. If the problem persists, you'll need to call support at 1-877-646-5288.

Question 17

ninja dualbrew pro coffee maker leaking from the bottom of the machine, is this a known issue?

Accepted Answer

A leak from the bottom of the brewer housing is not normal and indicates an internal issue. Stop using it and unplug it. FIX: This is not a user-serviceable leak. You need to contact Ninja Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: Before you call, rule out other leak sources that you can fix:If leaking is from above the brew basket, your brew basket is overflowing. This is caused by a clog from finely ground coffee, too many grounds, or using both a paper and the permanent filter. Use medium-grind coffee and only one filter. If leaking is from below the brew basket, the drip stop may be open. Close it manually. If water is just under the reservoir after removal, that's normal condensation; wipe the valve with a dry cloth. HEADS UP: Do not attempt to open the unit. A bottom leak likely involves the internal pump or tubing and requires professional service.

Question 18

how do I clean the ninja pod adapter for the dualbrew pro? it has old coffee gunk in it.

Accepted Answer

Clean the Pod Adapter by hand. It is not dishwasher safe. Open the handle fully to reveal the needles and pod holder. Hand-wash all parts with warm, soapy water. Take extreme care when cleaning around the needles to avoid bending them. Close the handle. Slide the adapter back into the REMOVE position before reinstalling it over the brew basket. For the integrated frother whisk: Clean after each use. Hand-wash thoroughly or place on the top rack of the dishwasher. Heads up: When the orange Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator turns on, you must run a full 75-minute clean cycle. If you mostly use pods, ensure the Pod Adapter is installed and run the clean cycle on Pods mode.

Question 19

my ninja dualbrew pro says CLn on the screen and won't brew, what do i do?

Accepted Answer

The system has detected heavy calcium scale buildup in the heater. It will not brew until you run a descaling clean cycle. FIX: Place the empty carafe beneath the brew basket. Fill the water reservoir to the Travel Mug line (16 oz.) with white vinegar, then fill the rest with water up to the Full line. Use only white vinegar or a commercial descaling solution. Press the CLEAN button, then press the START BREW button to begin. The cycle runs for about 75 minutes. Do not remove the carafe during the cycle. When it beeps and displays "End," empty the carafe and clean it thoroughly. Run a water-only cycle to flush the system. Use the same mode that had the CLn error: run a Full Carafe Classic brew for Grounds mode, a 12 oz. Classic for Pods mode, or a Full Carafe BOIL for Hot Water mode. If the taste persists, run another water-only cycle. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If the CLn message returns quickly, you likely have hard water. You'll need to descale more frequently. The orange Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator will illuminate as a warning before it gets to the CLn stage; don't ignore it. HEADS UP: Hard water causes scale faster. Never cancel a clean cycle mid-run—your brewer won't be properly descaled. If you do cancel, you must restart from step 6 of the cleaning instructions.

Question 20

my ninja dualbrew pro is making really weak coffee, how do I fix it?

Accepted Answer

You're likely using the Classic brew setting, which is designed for a milder flavor. Here's how to strengthen it. First, try the Rich brew setting. After you select your brew size, press the "Brew Style" button until the Rich indicator light is on. Then start your brew. This uses a different temperature and flow rate for bolder coffee. If it's still too weak, you need to adjust your coffee-to-water ratio.Use the Ninja Smart Scoop. For stronger coffee in the Rich setting, you can add an extra scoop of grounds to the filter. Ensure you're using the correct grind. Medium grind is recommended. Finely ground coffee can clog the basket and lead to overflow, not weakness. If you're using pods, strength is fixed by the pod. You can't adjust it.

Question 21

ninja dualbrew pro display says 'Add Wtr' but the reservoir is full

Accepted Answer

The water sensor isn't detecting the full reservoir. Remove and reseat it. Take the water reservoir completely off the brewer. Check that the Configurable Water Reservoir Latch on the back is installed securely. Place the reservoir back onto the hook on the side or back of the brewer. Press it down firmly into the water reservoir base until it's fully seated. Press START BREW to resume your cycle. If that didn't work: The sensor or pump may have an issue. Contact Ninja Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288. Note: Some water always remains in the reservoir after a brew—this is normal to protect the pump. The "Add Wtr" message only appears if the system calculates insufficient water for the selected brew size.

Question 22

why is my ninja dualbrew pro over ice brew not cold? it's just making lukewarm coffee.

Accepted Answer

The Over Ice mode requires a full cup of ice to function correctly. It brews at elevated temperature, then the ice cools it. Fix: Fill your cup, travel mug, or carafe all the way to the top with ice cubes before you start the brew cycle. If that didn't work: Ensure you've selected the Over Ice brew style. The brewer has dedicated buttons for Classic, Rich, and Over Ice. Select your size, then press the Over Ice button before starting. Heads up: The brew volumes are approximate. Refer to the chart on page 10. If your cup overflows, you're likely using a cup smaller than the selected brew size.

Question 23

ninja dualbrew pro coffee maker leaking from the bottom of the machine

Accepted Answer

If the leak is from the bottom of the brewer, it's an internal failure. Do not use it. Contact Ninja Customer Service immediately at 1-877-646-5288. This is not a user-serviceable issue. If the leak is not from the bottom, check these two spots first:Above the brew basket: This is a brew basket overflow. The bottom is clogged. Use medium-grind coffee, not fine. Don't use both a permanent and paper filter together. Use fewer scoops for decaf. Below the brew basket: The drip stop is open. Close it manually. Refer to page 17 of your guide for its location. Check the water reservoir valve after removal—a small amount of water there is normal; wipe it with a dry cloth.

Question 24

my ninja dualbrew pro says 'CLn' on the display and won't brew, what do I do?

Accepted Answer

The CLn message means heavy calcium scale has blocked the heater. The machine is locked out until you run a full descaling clean cycle. Empty the carafe and place it under the brew basket. Fill the water reservoir to the Travel Mug line (16 oz) with white vinegar. Fill the rest with water up to the Full line. Do not use anything but white vinegar. Press the CLEAN button, then press START BREW. The cycle runs for about 75 minutes. When it ends, it will beep and display "End." Empty the carafe and clean it and the brew basket thoroughly. Run a water-only cycle on the mode you cleaned to flush any remaining solution. If taste persists, run another water cycle. If you cancel the clean cycle, the brewer won't be descaled. You must restart from step 1. Hard water causes this faster; run clean cycles more often if you have it.

Question 25

my ninja dualbrew pro coffee has a bunch of gritty sediment in it, even with the permanent filter, help?

Accepted Answer

DIAGNOSIS: You're likely using coffee that's ground too finely for the permanent filter. FIX: Switch to a slightly coarser grind of coffee. A medium grind is recommended. Alternatively, you can use a paper filter inside the permanent filter basket. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: Do not use both a paper filter and the permanent filter at the same time. This can cause grounds to clog and water to back up. Use one or the other. HEADS UP: Sediment is a common issue with fine grounds and permanent filters. Adjusting your grind size is the most effective solution.

Question 26

the clean cycle light is orange on my ninja dualbrew pro, do i have to run it right now?

Accepted Answer

DIAGNOSIS: Yes. The Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator illuminates orange when descaling is recommended. FIX: Run a clean cycle. Choose the mode you use most: If you primarily use grounds, run the clean cycle on Grounds mode with the Sliding Lid closed. If you primarily use pods, ensure the Ninja Pod Adapter is installed and run the cycle through it. If you use Hot Water mode at all, run an additional clean cycle in Hot Water mode. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If you ignore the indicator, the brewer may stop mid-brew and display "CLn," requiring immediate cleaning. Run the cycle then. HEADS UP: Canceling a clean cycle means your brewer won't be properly descaled. The cycle takes 75 minutes. Do not remove the carafe during it.

Question 27

just got a ninja dualbrew pro and my over ice brew isn't cold at all, what's the point?

Accepted Answer

DIAGNOSIS: The ice in your cup is likely insufficient or melted before brewing. FIX: Fill your cup, travel mug, or carafe all the way to the top with ice cubes before you start the brew cycle. Do not use partially filled ice. The brewer relies on the full volume of ice to cool the coffee. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: The Over Ice brew uses elevated temperatures to lock in flavor, then relies on the ice for cooling. If your ice is old or freezer-warmed, it may melt too quickly. Use fresh, solid ice cubes. HEADS UP: This is the intended function. It's not a cold brew system; it's hot coffee flash-chilled by a full cup of ice.

Question 28

why is my ninja dualbrew pro not showing any brew sizes or styles on the control panel?

Accepted Answer

DIAGNOSIS: Yeah, this one's common. The brewer's smart sensing system isn't detecting a properly closed brewing path. FIX: Check the sliding lid on top. Make sure it's fully slid closed. If you're using the Ninja Pod Adapter, ensure the handle is fully closed and clicked into the LOCK position. Locate the Hot Water Dial on the front. Turn it completely to either the coffee bean icon (for coffee) or the water droplet icon (for hot water). It cannot be in between. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: Remove and reinstall the Pod Adapter, ensuring it's fully seated over the brew basket. Also, check that the brew basket itself is correctly inserted. HEADS UP: The control panel will only activate and show options when it senses a sealed system. An unsealed lid or dial is almost always the culprit.

Question 29

ninja dualbrew pro coffee maker leaking from under the brew basket, what do i do?

Accepted Answer

DIAGNOSIS: The drip stop is open. FIX: Close the drip stop. Refer to the diagram on the brewer or manual page 17. It's the lever on the front, below the brew basket. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If the leak is coming from above the brew basket, the basket is overflowing. This is caused by: A clogged filter basket from finely ground coffee or too many grounds. Use a medium grind. Using both a permanent filter and a paper filter simultaneously. Use one or the other. Decaf coffee grounds absorbing water differently. Use fewer scoops for decaf. HEADS UP: If leaking is from the bottom of the brewer itself, stop use and call Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288.

Question 30

my ninja dualbrew pro's water reservoir feels wobbly and unstable, is it supposed to be like that?

Accepted Answer

DIAGNOSIS: No. The reservoir is not seated correctly on its base. FIX: Check the Configurable Water Reservoir Latch on the back of the brewer. Ensure it's installed securely. Remove the water reservoir. Hook the reservoir onto the side or back hook of the brewer. Press the reservoir down firmly into the water reservoir base until it clicks into place. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: Inspect the plastic latch and hook for damage. If components are broken, contact Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288 for a replacement part. HEADS UP: An unstable reservoir can lead to leaks or the brewer not detecting water, which triggers an "Add Wtr" message.

Question 31

ninja dualbrew pro coffee is splattering everywhere when i brew into my mug, how do i stop the mess?

Accepted Answer

DIAGNOSIS: Some splatter is normal, but it's usually due to too much distance between the coffee outlet and your cup. FIX: Always use the single-serve cup platform that came with your brewer. Place your cup or travel mug on it. Make sure your cup is positioned directly under the coffee outlet. If brewing pods, ensure the Ninja Pod Adapter is correctly installed over the brew basket with the handle closed. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If splattering is excessive, check that the sliding lid is fully closed or the Pod Adapter handle is closed and locked. An unsealed system can cause irregular flow. HEADS UP: The cup tray significantly reduces splatter by shortening the drop. Don't try to brew directly into a cup sitting on the counter.

Question 32

my ninja dualbrew pro coffee maker keeps showing CLn on the display, what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

DIAGNOSIS: The "CLn" display indicates heavy calcium scale buildup in the heater of the mode you're currently using. FIX: Run a clean cycle immediately on the mode currently displayed. To clean and descale: Place the empty carafe beneath the brew basket. Fill the water reservoir to the Travel Mug line (16 oz) with white vinegar, then fill the rest with water up to the Full line. Do not exceed the Full line. Press the CLEAN button, then press START BREW to begin the cycle. The cycle takes approximately 75 minutes. Do not remove the carafe during this time. Upon completion, discard the water, then thoroughly clean the carafe and brew basket. Run a water-only cycle (Full Carafe Classic for Grounds mode, 12 oz Classic for Pods mode, Full Carafe BOIL for Hot Water mode) to flush the system. Rerun if vinegar taste persists. IF THAT DIDN'T WORK: If the Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator is still orange after a recent clean cycle, run another cycle. Heavy scale buildup may require multiple cleaning cycles. HEADS UP: Hard water causes scale buildup faster. If you primarily use Grounds mode, run the clean cycle on Grounds mode first. If you use Pods most, run it through the installed Ninja Pod Adapter.
