This is a code without a number: the panel spells it out in words rather than digits, which is how the older controls on this make report a handful of conditions. What it means comes from the manufacturer’s own documentation rather than from us. ### How it shows on the display There is no number to write down here, so this is what the panel actually shows: - **CIRCUIT FILL** ### What sets it off An alarm is deliberately broad — it tells you the cabinet noticed something, not which part is responsible. This one comes on for: - Scale in the boiler, which is what hard water leaves behind - The fill or drain path, including the valve, the pump and the level sensing - The tank and its seals - Air in the line ### What to try yourself - Check the water tank is seated and full, and run the maker's own fill routine before anything else - Run the descaling cycle if it has not been run recently, with the agent the maker names - Check the tank is seated and full, and that nothing is under its lid ### Then what South Florida water is hard, and a built-in coffee system here scales faster than the interval the machine calculates from its factory hardness setting. Descaling on time, with the agent the maker names rather than vinegar, is the difference between this being a chore and being a boiler. This one appears on built-in coffee systems. The [full list of codes](https://wolfmiami.support/error-codes/) has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
