Jura Capresso Impressa Z5 Espresso/Coffee Maker - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Impressa Jura J6 stays in empty tray mode
On my machine - J6 Capresso, the problem was caused by a crack on one side of the grounds scraper, a plastic paddle attached to the side of the brew group. The scraper is supposed to detect when the tray is full by not returning to the normal position and triggering a sensor that detects that the tray was emptied. When one side was cracked, the scraper was too weak to trigger the sensor. I replaced the scraper ($20 part), and that fixed the problem.
Tray empty message
If the machine says TRAY MISSING it's the contacts at the back so clean as other people have stated, you can also use a cardboard nail file to clean the contacts at the back if there really skanky!.
If the machine keeps saying EMPTY GROUNDS even though you have, pull out the tray, look just inside the aparture where the tray goes top right at the front there is a small slot where if you look closely you can see a small white micro switch. This will be probably gunged up with coffee and the switch will be stuck up, get a can of WD40 and squirt a small amount up into the switch then poke the switch with a small screwdriver up and down until it moves smoothly.
Then replace all the bits, sit down, look smug and have a coffee cos you've fixed it!! :0)

It works (after 4 hours of hunting, scraping, filing etc - it works like a charm - photo attached, I hope. Thank you RB5193!

I can't brew coffee, when machine is turned on it makes a loud noise like endless spinning. sounds like it is coming from the brew/tamping area
foreign element perhaps the grinder is bad though. First try using a small vacuum that will allow adequate control of vacumming up the bean container. remove all the beans etc. the bean container must be emptied. then look at what the vacuum removed, any foreign objects? if you see 1 or more it's likely fixed. otherwise remove any inside cover/guides in the bean container you should now look directly at the grinder wheels with flashlight, as there may instead be a foreign substance or a defect preventing the grinder from processing the beans. if a defect then it may require factory service. gl
When I turn machine off the display reads EEEE what does this mean
Most likely it is a sensor error. you can try to clean the inner parts by removing the tray and carefully with a moist towel wipe the parts gently. If you have a mirror on a stick that's helpful. You may have no other visible choice than to contact Jura Capresso and pay for servicing the unit if memory serves it ran about $250. M
